    Been to most of the cities mentioned - good choices mainly, puzzled by Bruges, lived in Belgium for a couple of years and spent to much time in the plastic little toytown entertaining guests - Antwerp and Leuven were great

    I fell in love with Amsterdam as a teenager and it's still going.

    But I married Prague, and have never regretted it :-) Why? The best beer in Europe for just over a quid, nobody looking for a random fight, getting home from the pub easily on the tram, the best radio station in the world (Radio 1), funny, intelligent graffiti, walking to a meeting across Old Town Square on a spring morning, the lack of ageism among Czech women, winter is proper winter, and summer is proper summer.

    Berlin is changing before our eyes, go there before it becomes boring.

    So many fantastic cities out there, my top 3 are probably Barcelona, Berlin and Munich, but I have enjoyed so many more, they are steeped in history and have plenty of great drinking and eating options.

    I have been to quite a few in Europe. Paris and Rome are both really special, and very romantic if going with a partner. There are some amazing sights and the food quality is very good in both cities.

    Germany however is my favorite, I have been to Munich, Berlin and Nuremberg, the latter being my favorite as it is steeped in history. But overall Germany is great for history plenty of things to see and do and the food is also very nice, not forgetting the famous German beers.

    Got to give a big shout for Berlin it has history, fantastic nightlife and places to eat, not too expensive either for a Capital city. Other than that of course London and then Prague which beautiful and has agreat music scene. Stockholm in summer (all the blond birdies out and about) is also a treat.

    Not many places I've been that I have not liked. Paris sticks out as one though.And Sofia wasn't the nicest (women and cheap beer apart) and Dnipro was the edgiest place I've been

    Loved:

    Helsinki
    Riga
    Tallin
    Dubrovnik
    Munich
    Dusseldorf
    Berlin
    Cologne
    Glasgow
    Copenhagen
    Venice
    Barcelona
    Amsterdam
    Kiev
    Donetsk
    Krakow

    Some of those were drunken stop overs and most were football trips but I loved what I saw.

    Rome, Lisbon, Madrid, Edinburgh and Rekyavek (sp) are on my want to visit list.

    Love Tallin and Dubrovnek. Stockholm is a cracking city as well. Liked Oslo but sooo expensive.

    In general I am a fan of eastern Europe. Loved Riga and had a cracking time in Bratislava.

    If you are a fan of Eastern Europe, I suggest you visit Stratford.

    Going back to the original question, which seemed to ask for ONE city rather than a string of them... :wink:

    Brussels - friendly people, not stupidly expensive and the art nouveau architecture.

    This thread has made me want to go to all these places; Europe has just so many fabulous cities.

    My 1,2,3s after London are Venice, Rome and Amsterdam (just pips Paris because my wife is part Dutch).

    Also love Edinburgh, Oslo, Madrid, Stockholm, Talinn, St Petersburg, Vienna, Salzburg, Bruges, Copenhagen, Florence.
