Some of these destinations are already covered by Eupedia:

- Amiens (not that good except the cathedral)
- Battle (nothing special really)
- Luxembourg (must-see)
- Haarlem (outstanding)

Hello everyone. I am jon from USA> I am new here. I am here to ask you the best cities to visit in France and best hotels in which i can stay for long time. There should be luxurious hotels. Keep it up.

Outside of Paris, the cities of the French rivera like Nice, Cannes, Monaco and Antibes are Beautiful. You may also apperciate cities of Alsace (near the German border) like Strasbourg and Colmar but also small villages like Riquewihr and Ribeauvillé (famous for the Wines and food). If you go to Paris, Normandy is not too far. The coast is famous for its landscape and the D-Day beaches. Near the border with Brittany, the Mount Saint Michel is also wonderful to visit.


For the luxurious hotel you may find them in the French riviera, in Cannes (Carlton, Hilton, Martinez) and Nice (Negresco).
There are also luxurious Houses on the coast and in the Hinterland (Saint Paul, Vence...).

My boss is as well keen of YouTube comical video clips, he also watch these even in place of work hehehe..

[albanopolis]

A city founded in year 1 and constantly inhabited is Istambul. Orient and Ocident clash right there. Ancient ruins, new ruins, man made disasters, god made disasters, beautifull buidings, ugly buildings, white people, black people, yellow pepole are all there. Its a small microcosmos. For people like me, who always check the finances, thats the city to visit. One sees the world in one shot. Fot people with limitlees money resources is good to see all the above mentioned cities.

I am very surprised that you would need a week to see all the sights in Munich. After two days I didn't know what to do. Please don't count excursions from Munich to the rest of Bavaria. That would completely offset the ranking.

Likewise, Sydney can be seen in a two or three days. It doesn't deserve one or two weeks (unless you got lost walking around the suburbs ).

On the other hand, 3 days in Florence is definitely not enough to see all the important sights. It deserves at least a full week, and in my opinion longer than Venice, because Venice has very few museums or places that can be visited inside.

Cortina D'Ampezzo is a ski resort, so there are no sight per se. Same for Surfer's Paradise (I hated that place, btw).

If you're in Hungary you should definitely visit the city of Győr (NW-Hungary) for a one day trip. It has some beautiful baroque buildings and a marvelous atmosphere. Also the Archabbey of Panonhalma is only a half an hour drive from Győr. It's part of the UNESCO World Heritage!

[alexpich]

I think I like to live in London for the amazing party life in there. The scenery is also good with all the majestic pieces all over.

Budapest has better architecture and more hospitable people than Prague or Vienna.

[Cambrius (The Red)]

London and Paris are my favorites.

[Brokensword]

Yes, I have been to Istanbul. I have now added it to the list. I hesitated between 1A, 1B and 2A. I saw almost everything in my guidebook in about 5 days, so I opted for 1B.

5 Days would not be enough to see all in Istanbul. I have been there many times yet many places i have not seen.

Ofc, depends on what you want to see...

[Pax Augusta]

I heard Rome is a chaotic city ,so Rome should out of 1A .

Less than any Chinese big city.

[Pax Augusta]

London and Paris are my favorites.

Paris much better than London.

Based on my experience of travelling and living around Europe, I would like to make a list the the best cities by category, rating them respectively 1A, 1B, 2A, 2B, 3A and 3B. Note that I have listed Nordic countries or Ireland, and have only been to Praha and Budapest in Eastern Europe. Basically, the numeral ranking is about the overall beauty/quality, while the letters refer to the length of stay to fully enjoy the city (A the longest, C the shortest).

I don't think I can wait until 2018, Maleth. :) I don't know if I ever mentioned it, but there's a wonderful book of historical fiction called The Disorderly Knights by Dorothy Dunnett which is set on Malta in 1551. Malta has captured my imagination ever since then.

It's the next thing on my bucket list.

It would be good to meet up if you ever visit, and in a short distance around there are other great historical things to visit too that you will find very interesting :) The Valletta harbour was also the scene of a great battle (prior to the Turkish 4 month siege) in connection with the Sicilian Vespers. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Malta

I wasn't aware of the book. Had a look on amazon and it looks like a good read. Thank you for bringing the book to my attention

Maciamo! It is the huge list that you shared. I know these all are stunning and alluring cities of the United Kingdom. I am a tourist but I did not visit them all. My most favorite cities are Venice and London and I have been there several times. I love the attractions of London and the atmosphere of the Venice. In the last week of this month I am going to visit the New York. I am very excited for this.

[FunkyWanderer]

I love Leon in France

[FunkyWanderer]

I drove from Rome to Paris over a week staying in multiple cities... I'd recommend that to anyone
