Copenhagen & Malmo (they kind of come as one) - great cities, if not a tad on the pricey side, but they are so friendly. Great food. Great beer, women are hot and loads to do!
I can testify that the females are very friendly in Copenhagen.
Paris - It's cheap, it's clean and the people are friendly and welcoming and they really make an effort to speak English for you as they know you are a tourist.
Not forgetting the fact that they never, ever, turn their nose up at you and shrug their shoulders in an arrogant, condescending way.
Do I trace a hint of sarcasm there Brendan?
Paris is a beautiful city without a doubt - but ruined by being full of Parisians.
Just a bit. ;o)
I do love Paris, and France in general, but as you say some Parisians are very unwelcoming.
Love Krakow. Hate any city in the Netherlands and I speak from the experience of having lived there for years.
I find that so strange, what made you come to that conclusion over Holland, it's been the most welcoming and helpful place we have worked, I find the people so similar to londoners with their humour and morales
The guy was Dutch and fluent in all three, maybe we should try harder to learn but when you get past school and you failed, there isn't much you can really do about it
Not strictly true mate. I did o level french but forgot most of it over time. As I began to visit France more regularly I wanted to improve and did 3 years at evening school. Got to a fairly good standard but had to give it up when my daughter was born.
Not an obvious one and not my favourite but a shout for Glasgow. Just had a great weekend there. Great bars,even better alcohol, good food and the best people in the UK.
Nah, not really. Amsterdam for me and not for the supposed obvious, just think it's a beautiful city and not too hectic considering it's a capital city.
Been to most of the cities mentioned - good choices mainly, puzzled by Bruges, lived in Belgium for a couple of years and spent too much time in the plastic little toytown entertaining guests - Antwerp and Leuven were great
Went to Berlin back in the 80s when the wall was obviously still up. Would love to go back and see it now and would be interested in hearing from anyone who's been in recent years.
I went to Berlin for a school trip in '79 and absolutely loved it, but I was in the East. Honestly not sure if I loved it so much for what it was like as a city or for the time spent with my Inbetweener mates.
Don't think you can beat London for culture or variety of things to do, but I wish it was a bit warmer.

The rest of France don't like Parisians.

Plus they love football food and beer
Krakow or Paris are my favs though, with honourable mentions for Rome & Florence

In general I am a fan of eastern Europe. Loved Riga and had a cracking time in Bratislava.
going there in june so I hope it's up there in some peoples minds as one of the best in Europe?
Glasgow
Amsterdam
In that order.
A summer evening sitting by the Rhine drinking Kölsch is pretty much my idea of heaven.
Rome
Barcelona
Edinburgh

Barca Although these 2 were visited 40 years ago.
Verona Sienna Lucca Florence - Recent visits, just love Italy. This year going to Sicily, - Siracuse & Montalbano country, anyone been there?
