Visiting cities in the world

Hi maximax8! One city I'd love to visit is Barcelona, simply due to the fact I had two opportunities to go and my friend couldn't be bothered, therefore it's at the top of my list. I'm dying to see that awesome cathedral as well as I don't think it's finished yet! In England I adore London as there is so much to do and see. However, it's not as warm as people may think. I've been caught out a couple of times when it's been cold there! I've tended to visit for a Carlisle away footy match but me and John went without the football one time and it was lovely. I've been to Edinburgh but if I go again it will be over a few days rather than a flying visit on the train. I like York as the shopping experience is unique. The Shambles is awesome! I went to the Millennium Stadium, Cardiff a couple of times and I loved it..miles better than Wembley in my opinion and I love its location. Apparently, it's on the site of the old Cardiff Arms Park but facing another direction..or something. Love the roof on it too. I would've liked to have seen more of Cardiff at the time but the football makes it impossible to do so. I think we stayed in Gloucester for the Carlisle game. I've also been to Madrid and Dublin although I found the Madridonians(?) a tad unfriendly and they still have bullfighting there, unlike Barcelona, that is in the process of banning it, fortunately. If I really think long enough I reckon Las Vegas is my favourite city as it has so much going on...plus the fact I got engaged one year and married another, so it's a special place. Unfortunately, funds won't allow us to go back there for some time but the next time we DO go I'd like to go on one of those multi-centre holidays, so I can see a bit more of America (the greener bits)...and Canada too if possible!

Dear Maxine, For me it is difficult to say which is my favorite city or even whether I prefer a stay at a beach or a tour around a great capital. It all depends on how I feel. Cities will be out of bounds for me for some time because I have been discovered to have cancer and I´m on chemo. Probably, with luck, doctors will let me go for a day or two nearby, depending on plaquetes count and all that. I can still visit with my computer though and plan on future trips. Thinking it over now, I would love to visit again the awesome cities in the south of Spain. Arab culture left an incredible amount of beauty that western people, for some reason, were incapable of learning. Sevilla, Cordoba, and Granada are worth seeing. And if you rent a car, you can also see all the small white towns. I do hope though that I´ll be able to make a pilgrimage to Macchu Pichu some day.

I still long to visit Pisa and I would love to go to Paris with my Husband as I have been three times but, never with him! I would love to visit Havana and also Moscow

I was in Cartagena too, once, beautiful city indeed, specially the historic part, is similar to Antigua, in Guatemala, but larger, the spanish part I mean. More often, I prefer to go to nature, rather than cities, myself.

I have visited many of the big cities in Europe, but there are still some cities that I would like to visit for instanse Madrid, Barcelona, Vienna and Athens. I have visited some places in Greece, Spain and Austria in the past, but I would like to return one day and visit the capitals as well. My favourite European city is Bratislava in Slovakia. I went there last year, and I thought that it was a very beautiful and charming city. I also liked Vilnius and Riga a lot. In the future I hope to visit some of the big cities in Asia, I think that could be really interesting. It is very hard to decide which cities I would like to visit, because there are so many places that sound interesting. I would love to travel around in Asia for several months and visit a lot of different places in China, Japan, the Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia and Indonesia.

oh that sounds so good. I also love traveling but I have this opportunity. I live in Bulgaria. But these cities have listed above are nice cruise. I hope someday I can see them and me. This will be enough to me. Have a nice day!

I live in a large city and with Dallas 3 and a half hours, Houston 3 and San Antonio 1 hour away, I have lots of large cities around me. I would love to visit large cities I've never been to, like Chicago, New York (well, okay, I've been there, but not really to see the sights, just to visit family) and L.A. I have been to San Francisco, but it was in 1973, and I'd like to go back. I've been to London 3 times, twice since the mid-1990's. I would actually like to go back to Rome, that that I'm old enough to not be that interesting to "romeos"

I have been to too many cities to mention....most in the U.S. but several in Europe. Next year I'll be going to Germany and then a small trip to Venice with my daughter and son in law....I am excited. Its one of the places high on my list of cities to visit!

maximax8, Having been around Europe in the course of my work I must admit that I love most of them starting with Paris, Rome, Black Forest and not forgetting London. I really find Europe fascinating with its history, architecture and most of all the people. It is also very romantic like a drive in the Black Forest, where you will get to see all castles, vintage houses, the breathtaking sceneries of nature. I like the idea where old buildings are being preserved and a great fair share of nature around. Even the playing golf in Europe is more natural than in the US, where the courses are more closer to nature than some artificial architecture.

I only visite the city in China,I have been to xi'an,lanzhou,beijing and tianjin,the best city I love is xi'an,it is an old city with beautiful parks,and the World Garden Expo is holding in xi'an!

I went to a village yesterday, Fiskars in Finland. Not sure if that counts as a city really :-) In Finland I've been to Helsinki, Tampere, Kuopio, Leppävirta (also not really a city, but a bit big for a village) and Kuusamo. And possibly some others that I have forgotten. I've been to 3 of the 5 biggest cities in Norway, I really do have to travel a bit more in my own country. I've been quite a few in the UK, including London of course, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Ayr, Nottingham, Bath and Hastings. In the US, I've been to Seattle, Port Townsend, Denver, Washington, Boston, Chicago and Salt Lake city. Kyoto and Nara in Japan, Bangkok, Singapore, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Queenstown and Auckland on the other side of the world :-) I've been to quite a few cities in the rest of Europe too, but there's also many I haven't visited yet. I'd love to go to Berlin, never been there. St Petersburg and Moscow, preferrably with someone who speaks some Russian. I've never been to Switzerland at all, so Geneva and some of the valleys and mountains would be nice. I'd love to go back to Prague, I was there for 3 days once about 10 years ago. I'd also like to go back to Riga when it's a bit warmer, and also see Talinn and Vilnius. But of course, the one city I want to back to over and over again, is Vienna. Haven't been there since May last year, and I miss it :-/ Still thinking about trying to find a job there, but it's been nearly 40 degrees there now my friends tell me, so I'd need a job with air condition.

Interesting topic. I've several cities in the world visited, but only in Europe. I was in Berlin, Dusseldorf, Rom, Venice, Vienna, Paris, Belgrade, Split, Athens and some more. I would love to visit London and Washington. Why? I don't know, but I want. Maybe to practice English and meet the people there. Where is Cardiff?
