Try Budapest. Beautiful place, lots to see and do and some great restaurants and nightlife. Not that pricey either.“The period of the disintegration of the European Union has begun. And the first vessel to have departed is Britain” -

A young lady, a complete stranger, once peed in my ear in a shop doorway in Sophia once, mistaking me in my sleeping bag covered by a polythene sheet for a pile of rubbish. I have never forgotten it.bloggoth

Never had a doubt...
Edinburgh, outside London, is a fantastic place to eat, sleep...and that other thing.
Is Winchester not a city then? Stayed there almost a couple of years, lovely place.
Outside the UK I would say visit Venice, during the festival is possible.

I'd go for Wells, Ripon and Durham. The smaller places in that list are only cities because they have a cathedral. I'm amazed that Wakefield has such a large population.Originally posted by bekarovka View PostIn my opinion, Wells is the nicest place on that list with Leicester not far behindBehold the warranty -- the bold print giveth and the fine print taketh away.Comment

Foreign cities, my list would be:
New York (best city on earth, imo)
Barcelona - amazing architecture, great people, lots of fun.
Seville - Andalusia at it's best
Sydney - the harbour/beaches make it something special.
Paris - nowhere in the world quite like it
Rio - party time
Berlin - party time
Honk Kong - play hard, work hard
Tokyo - like visiting a different planet, just a weird and wonderful place.
Buenos Aires - beautiful women, and a total vampire city - it starts when the rest of the world is in deep sleep.
Vancouver - dunno exactly why, I just loved it.
UK, I'd put Edinburgh top, to be honest. Otherwise - I like most of them, but none of them really blow me away. I think that's partially because they're British, so they don't have that allure that foreign cities have.Hang on - there is actually a place called Cheddar?? - cailin maith
