6. Dublin is my favourite. Its a beautiful place, theres so much to do and see its got a great atmosphere about it and the people are so friendly
7. amsterdam....
8. Bruge, Belgium for the Chocolate and the Architecture.
9. paris definetly ive been ther 12 times n each time i just luv going there!!! but if u like ur hisory you cant go wrong with Rome, its really beautiful, hope u have fun
10. spain because it is modern yet classic with beautiful structures. you should go to bacelona,madrid, segovia, granada, toledo,leon, asturias, and any others. i have been there four times. i have family there. i have seen all of spain. i'm only fifteen.
11. Monde, France. Actually, anywhere in South Central France. The food is unbeatable, the people are awesome, everything is ancient, and its not as expensive as the big cities. We kayaked doen the Ardeche gorge from Vallon Pont D'arc. I could live there, so much to see and do, and history...caves and limestone cliffs inhabioted 35,000 years ago. Amazing. Did I mention the food?
12. Rome
13. Prague is very nice and very unspoilt by the world wars! I have a theory it was used to store natsis gold. It had been taken over so many times and has about 30 religious buildings. Reasonable too, we paid 120.00 for flights and 24 pppn. All sterling so fairly cheap too.
14. There Three to think of You've got York absolutely beautiful Then Edinburgh what classic features Than go down south to Salisbury Great
15. Try Berlin ,it is very interesting and beautiful ! Cheap flights by Easyjet !
16. Milton Keynes! It has many "firsts" and is located centrally for Oxford, Cambridge and other areas of note. 1st football grandstand in the world at Wolverton 1st drive through restaurant in UK 1st multiplex cinema in UK 1st ecumenical "cathedral" - Christ Cornerstone 1st indoor ski slope in UK with real snow Bletchley Park, location of the first programmable computer The modern city encapsulates the original villages, leaving much of their old charm untouched and preserved. A number of areas such as Pennyland and Shenley Lodge were sites for experiments into ecological housing design. Newport Pagnell has the winner of the £60,000m house award. In (I think) Browns Wood are other houses designed on ecological and energy saving grounds.
17. The only city for me has to be Florence - It is a compact area which has just about everything you could wish for within a short walk from the centre - no travel hassles - It has a very cosmopolitan feel whilst being set against one of the most awesome historical backdrops anywhere in the world. Whatever you want is there to see along with great food from hundreds of restaurants. Furthermore, and this is unique in my view, as long as you are careful and check prices are not inflated to the ridiculous levels seen in other European cities I've visited. Check out Florence and you won't be sorry....
18. i wish i could say London but I'd by lying!!!!!!!!!
19. Dublin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Loads to see and do, great pubs and restaurants, and very friendly people!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
20. Paris, by far.
21. Barcelona! you have it all there: architecture & architectural parc (Gaudi, Mies van der Rohe, ...), musea (Miro, ...), nice weather, ramblas, tapas, lots of opportunities to go out, ... You definitely won't regret it...
22. If you can look beyond the hostility of the French citizens-and focus more on all the historical places to visit, not to mentioned the night-life, you will not be bored. That they are rude, is beyond question-just smile, be a good ambasidor and be determined to enjoy it all. Whatever you are after can be found in most any great city of the world but in Paris it seems bigger than life itself! marlyne B
23. Berlin would fit your yearning for architectural between east and west contrast all the new building. Berlin as lots of cultural activities too
24. Romania - Brasov, or Bucharest :)
25. Prague..if you go to my 360, and look in the photo albums, there are loads in there fo Prague. Brussels is also every nice, pics of there too....Paris is great ( lost the pics of there) Prague is fab, loads of narrow streets, a safe place to wander and see whats there, I went 5 years ago, alone, not a problem at all
26. Summer: Seville Winter: Prague
27. Barcelona in Spain because there's so much culture and architecture you won't know where to start! The Barcelona fountains are spectacular and not to be missed. There's an unfinished cathederal that has such intricate detail. Beautiful buildings everywhere. Well worth going to and you'll need a few days to see it all. Have fun!
28. It depends on what you're interested. My number one is definitely Paris - no doubt about it. This city has it all. Let's put it this way: 1. Paris, France 2. London, UK 3. Rome, Italy 4. Dublin, Ireland 5. Amsterdam, the Netherlands But if you're into not that expensive places, I'd recommend: 1. Prague, the Check Republic 2. Budapest, Hungary 3. Dubrovnik, Croatia
29. If you want an Italian city, Sienna is lovely and much less crowded than Florence. It has managed to exclude cars from its centre so it is very safe and peaceful for pedestrians, so you can wander around admiring the old buildings without getting run over. This also allows lots of cafes to spill out onto the pavement. The central fan-shaped square is a great meeting place where you can enjoy a meal or drink and watch the world go by for hours. The town hall has a tower to climb for even better views. There are fine churches and small museums and some great shops. Florence is not too far away if you want a trip to see the museums there. I would also recommend Crakow for something different. It has the largest market square in Europe which hosts all kinds of arts and street stalls. It has a spectacular castle, the Jagellian university with beautiful medieval buildings, and because of the university lots of excellent cheap restaurants and very good nightlife. It is also a base for trips to see Auschwitz which everyone should consider visiting once in their lives.
30. Oslo, Norway
31. athens, rome, paris, krakau for cultural-architectural reasons, amsterdam for cultural-have some fun reasons
32. glasgow city of culture edinburgh or my favourite crete
33. lots of answers.. and yes, of course Amsterdam, Paris, Rome, Barcelona are cool cities, but I am quite sure you been there already... so, why dont you look at the new EU countries which not so many know yet. Discover something new, go to Riga or Tallin. They are beautiful, have flair, history and loads of new things to discover. People are friendly, I am sure, this will give you a kick :-) enjoy your travels! cheers uli
