1) St. Petersburg
2) Berlin
3) Rome
4) Amsterdam
5) Prague
6) Munich
7) Paris
8) London
9) Madrid
10) Brussels

#1 London
#2 Paris
#3 Berlin
#4 Copenhagen
#5 Oslo
#6 Monaco/Monte Carlo
#7 Geneva
#8 Hamburg
#9 Barcelona
#10 Rome

So totally subjective, but here's my list of favourite Euro cities i've visited :-)

1. Lisbon
2. Madrid
3. London
4. Barcelona
5. Berlin
6. Paris
7. Budapest
8. Amsterdam
9. Munich
10. Antwerp

Like GaryinSydney said, it's purely subjective.

My list would be:
1:London
2:Paris
3:Barcelona
4:Madrid
5:berlin
6:Amsterdam
7:Lisbon
8:Venice
9:Nice/Monaco
10:Brussels

It's so hard though, as I could have also added many of these cities somewhere in the top 10:
Vienna, Stockholm, Copenhagen, Rotterdam, Hamburg, Manchester, Birmingham, Dublin, Valencia, Porto, Prague, Budapest, Milan, Rome, Lyon, Zurich etc

Likewise, on the top ten list, I could move many cities around. Places like Amsterdam could be much higher, as with Lisbon and others. Many of them I consider in the same league, such as London and Paris, and to be honest, I love Barcelona just as much.

It's a very hard list to make. Let's just say there are so many wonderful cities in Europe.

Hard

1. Paris
2. Amsterdam
3. London
4. Rome
5. Barcelona

1. Paris
2. Amsterdam
3. London
4. Rome
5. Berlin
6. Prague
7. Florence
8. Ljubjlana
9. Salzburg

Of the ones I know personally:

1 - London (has everything you want in any terms - best city in the world)
2 - Rome (pure history of 2500 years, museums, architecture, athmosphere - just bloody traffic is horrible)
3 - Helsinki (most underrated city in the continent by ANY terms)
4 - Paris (apart from the inhabitants :lol: )
5 - Barcelona (architectural gem, beautiful setting, highly underrated old town)
6 - Zurich (beautiful setting, great life and international liberal athmosphere in summer, dead in winter - avoid it ;))
7 - Lisboa (just visit it and feel the city :))
8 - Moscow (apart from the corruptive tourist-hunting police great city with beautiful museums and the greatest development in Europe - Sao Paulo of the north ;))
9 - Salzburg (beauty, culture, culinary, do I have to say more?)
10 - Hamburg (totally wrongly in the shadow of Berlin, München and Köln!)

Out of competition because it's the most romantic place on earth: VENICE ;)

Rather disappointing: Dublin, Glasgow, Köln, Belgrad, Rotterdam (apart from some really great architecture), Geneva (apart from its setting and the UNO city), Florence (nowadays a traffic-jamed hectec dirthole of a tourist trap, a pity!)

Anyway, if Turkey is Europe based on 3% of it's land, then Denmark must surely be North American based on Greenland, eh?

But no reason to discuss this here...

The reason I addressed you to was because the Tread title was named "Top Ten Cities in Europe" and based on your posts #13 #15 and #16 on page 1 it seemed to me you didn't undertand the title - so I was just trying to help :cheers:

for me:

1) London
2) Madrid
3) Barcelona
4) Paris
5) Rome

I will only comment on these cities as these are the only major ones that I have visited in Europe. I would probably throw in:
6) Berlin
7) Milan
8) Amsterdam
9) Copenhagen
10) Stockholm

But I have not visited these cities, so I cannot actually say if this would be true. :nono:

Honestly, just let those who include Istanbul, include Instanbul. Turkey may only have 3% of it's landmass in Europe. But Istanbul has a much larger percentage, including the downtown of the city, the main historical core, and most of the attractions.

The bottom line is, if you sit in downtown Istanbul, you are sitting in Europe.

Now please, end the debate and let people vote for their top 10 cities, even if it includes Istanbul.

It's a fact that Istanbul is located on two continents, where is the debate now? :D

Justme is absolutly right: the historical center of Istanbul is geologically in Europe. Culturally it has anyway a European tradition (Eastern Roman Empire, Byzanz, Constantinople, Ottoman Empire - which took the whole Balkan etc.). So for sure Istanbul has to be included in a potential list...

I found it very sad that many people didnt Name Athens in thier top 10.
The first European City....The craddle of democracy and western civilisation.
Athens has done so much for the entire world....

1. Rome
2. Budapest
3. Athens
4. Prague
5. Sarajevo
6. Frankfurt
7. Monaco
8. Paris
9. Venice
10. Brussels

:D

^^ beyond this, the real Europe is this area. Denmark was not a part of Europe at the ancient time. The place you called Europe now was not Europe in fact, it was called "Chrisandome". Later people started to call Chrisandome as europe and this is why bordered with Bosphorus. So, it is better the change the name of the contient as Chrisandome, and get relax. But if you mean real Europe, that is anything else... If you mean politically euorpe, just look at the European Counsil memebers.

But this subjects go on always because of some redneck racist complexes wich is always shown everywhere. I hope none of the member of this forum has not such racist redneck complexes here. Am I wrong?

I am Texan, I even know that Istanbul is in Europe. Mr Cheese plz stop acting like an idiot. hehehehe

Please tell me ''what is your education level? ''

1 - London (has everything you want in any terms - best city in the world)

Apart from good weather and cheap prices, yes - I'd agree :D

actually, london is pretty disappointing if you're gay...

and it doesn't have skyscraper canyons (speaking of london having all you
want). but apart from that it is a great place and it's not surprising many people include london in their list.

^^Well, I'm not so much into skyscraper canyons. London HAS got everything that I want. :)

why not Copenhagen,Athens,Rome,Stockholm,Berlin etc....

i'm not a real fan of Paris..


Since you haven't even been to France, you have no basis to say this, and it is obvious your reasons for saying so are political

^^Uh.

Zohar is always *joking* about France "becoming a muslim country", and is always saying that french jews would have it much better in Israel, and then oh what a surprise! London, Istanbull and Moscow (the other 3 "big" cities of Europe) are on his list but not Paris (or any french city for the matter), nice coincidence isn't it?

1) Venice
2) Lourdes
3) Florence
4) Fatima
5) Medjugorje
6) Gibilterra
7) Abano Terme
8) Barcelona
9) Padova
10) Rome

Erm... please explain the logic to this.

London is one of the gay capitals of the world!

LOL! saying london is one of the gay capitals is just a marketing gimmick. it's far from the truth. the scene is not very big for a city like london. and there is no diversity. are you gay? have you ever been to the scene? I assume not. because otherwise you wouldn't ask such questions...and you wouldn't say london is one of the gay capitals of the world. and I'm not comparing london to san francisco or amsterdam. because there is no comparison. but london's gay night life isn't even on par with barcelona, cologne or berlin. sorry, the handful of good gay clubs isn't worth calling london one of the gay capitals. having a lot of gay people living in one city doesn't automatically mean it's a great place for gays. there isn't even a gay cinema there...( you can't call that tiny bar at kings cross with a few tvs with porn a gay cinema). and try to find a darkroom...well good luck.

Please tell me ''what is your education level? '' School and college, why? What's your's? (as if I really care ;) )

Not all share the same view as what Europe is and isn't, get over it!

what?? I can't believe you're saying this. London's got more gay bars than Barcelona, berlin and Cologne put together... you must be joking!

Some poeple haven't put London on there lists but I'm not shouting about it am I.

what are you talking about?? Ive been living in london for 4 years. all together there are maybe 20 to 30 gay bars. and thats it. on a weekend there are maybe 3 gay clubs worth visiting.

have you ever been to the london gay scene?

Yeah, but in the real world catering for every gay need isn't exactly a no. 1 priority is it.

I was only replying to wjfox, who claims london is one of world's gay capitals, which it's not. most people couldn't care less about that -atleast the heterosexual fraction.

this subjects go on always because of some redneck racist complexes wich is always shown everywhere. I hope none of the member of this forum has not such racist redneck complexes here. Am I wrong?I'm neither racist nor redneck - I just disagree that Europe borders Iraq, Syria, Iran, Armenia and Georgia.


Anyway, no reason to discuss this here, as I doubt it will accomplish anything - so let's just agree to disagree :cheers:

Mr_Denmark, if Istanbul wouldn't be turkish but greek or bulgarian, would you count it as a european city then? Have you ever been to Istanbul?

Some poeple haven't put London on there lists but I'm not shouting about it am I.


A lot of people haven't put Paris and I didn't say anything, this is special

School and college, why? What's your's? (as if I really care ;) )

Not all share the same view as what Europe is and isn't, get over it!

You've taken some education,but still you dont know where europe is!
And so

Why is there any Turkish team in the Champions league ?
Why Turkey joins EUROvision contest ?
Why will(or wont) Turkey join EU ?
Why was 2005 Champions League Cup final in Istanbul?

Result: Turkey is in europe and Istanbul,too.So I think you must go to a college again and again :okay:

1. London
2. Rome
3. Paris
.
.
.
The Rest

Why is there any Turkish team in the Champions league ?
Why Turkey joins EUROvision contest ?
Why will(or wont) Turkey join EU ?
Why was 2005 Champions League Cup final in Istanbul?

Yeah, I was asking exactly these questions myself... ;)

Erm... please explain the logic to this.

London is one of the gay capitals of the world!


puhahaha :laugh: i ve never been there but seriously i heard this kind of things about england so many times. im getting curious really is there real gay population in london?

Mr_Denmark, if Istanbul wouldn't be turkish but greek or bulgarian, would you count it as a european city then? Have you ever been to Istanbul? I would count the part on the continental Europe side European... but it would depend on how much of the country would be located in Asia, before I can decide for the Asian side.

I'm not saying it's not partially placed on the European continent, I'm just saying that I personly does not think it makes Tukey a European country - just as I don't think Denmark is part of North America, eventhough 90%+ of our Kingdom is located in North America. And eventhough the Canary islands is Spanish it doesn't make them Europe... IMO

You've taken some education,but still you dont know where europe is! I'm of another opinion as you, easy as that

Why is there any Turkish team in the Champions league ? I don't know, nor care - my best guess would be money related..

Why Turkey joins EUROvision contest ? Why does Israel? is that Europe too?

Why will(or wont) Turkey join EU ? The Europeans don't want it to join, Turkey don't want to join ( atleast it didn't think so doing some of the anti Denmark/anti EU protests some weeks ago )


Why was 2005 Champions League Cup final in Istanbul? Again I don't know, nor care as I'm not really a Soccer fan


Result: Turkey is in europe and Istanbul,too.So I think you must go to a college again and again :okay: Again I disagree - Tukey turned to the west after WW2 and therefore resieved some privileges and has been a great NATO allied for years, but that doesn't mean it's part of Europe - it just means it's a good friend... just as with Isreal - they are part of the Eurovision song contest too, and just as Turkey located outside of Europe...

For me Europe is not about continents as we are all connected to Asia and I'm sure most will agree that that doesn't make China Europe or Germany asian..

For me it's about culture and view on the world, and Turkey does not fit in my view of what Europe is, nomatter where it's partially located... but I do respect people's view should they differ from my own.. I just don't agree..

Anyway, let's not ruin this thread with this debate, feel free to PM me if you want to debate it, just don't expect I change my view about it.

PS Would some of you be so kind and stop acting like children?

PS 2 As the historic origin of Istanbul is European, as the main city centre is located in Europe, why shouldn't we call it an European city? Istanbul is just lucky to be both in Europe & Asia.

Amsterdam- parties

Sardignia- island of Italy, beautiful
Zagreb- beautiful

I think my picks are the most out there and more different than other people's, but these cities are truly beautiful in the inside

It's impossible for me to pick only 10 cities. Every european capital is interesting and worth visiting... So I won't include the capitals...

in no particular order:

Munich
Hamburg
Barcelona
Venice
Edinburgh
Zürich
Cracow
Salzburg
Lyon
Rotterdam

etc... etc...

Now that the tedious argument about Istanbul is over....

Amongst cities I've visited....

1) Rome - Jaw dropping history, I could hardly believe what I was seeing
2) Barcelona - lovely
3) Krakow - beautiful
4) London - between Christmas and New Year it empties of people. Best, most relaxed
time to visit.
5) York - 2000 years of English history
6) Gibraltar - unique and like the UK, only warm!
7) Amsterdam - atmospheric in the winter
8) Berlin - Fascinating in 1990
9) Belfast - big city atmosphere, and a really nice city.
10).......

There's no ten. Manchester and Glasgow are fantastic impressive places, Birmingham has a real buzz.

I'd love to go to Hamburg, Warsaw, Stockholm, Lisbon, Madrid and Reims

I can think of plenty of cities that I love. Florence, hell even Naples to a certain extent.

But these would not be the "Top Ten" of Europe.

Istanbul is not a european city only 3 per cent Turkey belongs to europe,the mentality of the people that live there is not european,and the culture differs from continental and islanders ,sorry about that ,but it is true.

No, but seriously, I don't think that's quite true just yet.
It is true. I love L'viv because you feel the history in these city. The buildings aren't renovated, and they are very natural. In all streets you find paving stones. When I am in L'viv, I feel like I am in ages 20.
I think that all Ukraine is very fascinating country, because it just wake up. I don't feel the same in Lithuania, Slovakia, Estonia or Latvia.
And the space with no building till horizon is amazing!! (not in L'viv :))

No offence, but can you be anymore typical American? This list is so stereotypical it hurts my eyes...

Is this because you haven't visited any other cities, or are these really your top pickings? (I'm not attacking you. Being European, I just might have a different view on what is a 'great city'. Amsterdam, for example, I find tacky and overcrowded.)

My list (in no order):

Bologna
Rotterdam
Antwerp
Brno
Madrid
Ljubljana
London
Lyon
Moscow
Cluj Napoca

What? So in order to "don't look american" you have to choose the most uncommon of cities?? I find that to be hilarious. For example my favourite is Paris, because it truly is for me the top city of Europe, and I don't care if 100000000000 other people think the same, it's my opinon what is important for me.

I'm European and it would be hard for me to think of a better list.
Rotterdam, Bologna, Brno or Cluj are fine little cities but honestly they are nowhere near the top ten European cities.

My Thread:http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=887250

Did you went in the 60's? :lol:

I'm European and I agree with that.

The same with Antwerp in the list. It's a nice little town but top 10...
Yeah, a good ol' Dutch-Flemish flame war! :D

1. Versailles
2. Paris
3. Saint-Germain-en-Laye
4. Meudon
5. Montmorency
6. Enghien
7. Fontainebleau
8. Sceaux
9. St Cloud
10. Chantilly

You can even visit the 10 of them in just one trip. ;)

What? So in order to "don't look american" you have to choose the most uncommon of cities?? I find that to be hilarious. For example my favourite is Paris, because it truly is for me the top city of Europe, and I don't care if 100000000000 other people think the same, it's my opinon what is important for me.

that's not what I said. I just get the feeling people come up with the same lists over and over again because they don't know any other cities. And about being American: I just meant that an American's criteria may very well be different. They lack cities like Venice, whereas they won't find Rotterdam impressive, because they have 50 cities just like it...

All I was trying to say was that I find it a shame that many cities are overlooked, while others get all the attention. And for many reasons I prefer Bologna over Venice, Rotterdam over Amsterdam, Berlin over Dresden, Antwerp over Bruges, etc...
You don't have to agree, I never said that...

Did you went in the 60's? :lol:

No... Seattle92, I did went I mean did go in the summer of 1985...:tongue2:

can you tell me which is something laughable?

[QUOTE=taboe;39846352]No offence, but can you be anymore typical American? This list is so stereotypical it hurts my eyes...

Is this because you haven't visited any other cities, or are these really your top pickings? (I'm not attacking you. Being European, I just might have a different view on what is a 'great city'. Amsterdam, for example, I find tacky and overcrowded.)


^^:weird:The majority of people living in the Americas usually has the same top ten list...and the reason is simple: those cities are the most famous and representative cities in Europe.........of course our opinion sometimes could be a lil bit typical (foreign typical) since we live in the Americas............some of us been travelled over there and in our first trip we usually choose those cities........I mean I would chose 10,000 times to visit Paris in my first chance than Lyon......sometimes is just at later trips when you discover some unique places you missed in the past....and sometimes you realize after travelling a LOT that big cities like Paris, Rome; Istanbul and Barcelona have it all..........

So go wash your eyes and be a lil bit more open minded for other opinions... :okay:

1. Porto
2. Barcelona
3. Rome
4. Paris
5. Florence
6. Venice
7. London
8. Madrid
9. Prague
10. Vienna

Every culture looks different at a city. Belgium people are for example the least positive tourists (7/10) in Amsterdam. For me you are a typical "Belg" (no offense, I like Belgium people).

Each city is unique, and can be nice. Small cities can really be beautiful, and can be far nicer than the big ones. Visiting a big city can also be very deceptive. There is so much to see. Even in my own hometown (Amsterdam, where I live all my life), I can really be suprised with what I see. It is all about what you want to see, do and on what level. There is far more to see in Amsterdam if it comes to art than Antwerp, but it is easier and therefore better (I say this, because there is a huge amount of shops in Amsterdam where hardly any normal tourist comes) to shop as tourist in Antwerp than in Amsterdam for example.

Each list is personal, each city is unique, every visit can be experienced different.

After 6 weeks of backpacking around Europe, my favourites are...

1. Paris
2. London
3. Rome
4. Barcelona
5. Prague
6. Munich
7. Florence
8. Amsterdam
9. Madrid
10. Venice

If I could call the French Riviera a city, I'd tie it for first with Paris.

If anyone is interested, here was our route:

Toronto - (Manchester) - London - Paris - (Brussels) - Amsterdam - Berlin - Prague - Vienna - Salzburg - Munich - Luzern - (Bern) -(Zurich) - Milan - Venice - Rome - (Pisa) - Florence - (Monte Carlo) - Nice - (Cannes) - Barcelona - (Seville) - Madrid - Toronto

I'm planning on creating a thread with some photos (I used about 5000 pics worth of memory) and some stories/experiences to share. Stay tuned :)

Yeah, a good ol' Dutch-Flemish flame war! :D

Not really;). I really like Antwerpen (for a weekend). Vlaanderen is our holiday country. It's cities are amazing.

But to put down someone's choices is not needed. People come to the big cities for the cultural treasures. Living in these cities is another story. I would never like to live in London or Paris but love to get lost in these places and find new things.

Once again, I never tried to attack anyone, or call their opinion the wrong one... My point is very well illustrated by this guy's travel route:

While i understand taking such a route, you can clearly see that he (and most tourists) only visited the standard cities. This is no judgement, it's just something I find sad. For example, in France, the biggest country in the EU, people often visit only one or two cities. Only two in Germany, the most populous country in the EU, etc... I'm convinced that people would come up with different lists if they were to visit more off-the-beaten-track towns...

But anyway, since this apparently sounds like I'm talking down to people, I won't go on about it any longer...

The same with Antwerp in the list. It's a nice little town but top 10...

And suddenly the Dutch take on Antwerp! :banana:

Well, that's quite normal no? The first time we Europeans go to the USA we mostly visit New York /LA/Las Vegas or San Francisco first. These are famous world-class cities and you have to do those once in your life. After you visited those you can visit some of the lesser known corners of the country. You can't first visit small little towns on the East Coast if you haven't seen New York or Washington. Same for Europe.

I'm sure the next time he will come to Europe, he will visit some lesser known cities.

Well, I enjoyed seeing your older photos. Sometimes it's great to remember what a place was like. Hopefully you do get a chance to come back as many of those cities look a lot nicer today than in 1992. Much renovation and new constructions have gone on.

Anyway, thanks for posting them :) :cheers:

Zaragoza


From the big ones:

Zurich
Helsinki



Zaragoza is way bigger than Helsinki and Zurich both population and area wise. and I personally wouldn't classify neither of them as a "big" city anyways.

Zaragoza is way bigger than Helsinki and Zurich both population and area wise. and I personally wouldn't classify neither of them as a "big" city anyways.

er...

Zaragoza 682,000 (city proper), 783,000 (Metro Area)
Zurich 361,000 (city proper), 1.6million (Metro Area)
Helsinki 578,000 (city proper), 1million (Metro Area)

I don't quite see your point. Even if you were just considering the direct city proper which is based on political boundaries it's not that much different to Helsinki, but based on Metropolitan area it is actually smaller.

I would personally group them all together regarding their size as a small-medium city.

Zurich has now close to 1.8mio and Helsinki nearly 1.1.
You know that Zaragoza has an area of over 1000km2 for the 680k pop? Zurich municipality has some 80!!km2 (excluding lakes), including the closer suburbs there are 1.1.mio living on about 900km2. Frankfurt for example is 250km2 in size, that's three times Zurich for the same pop as Zaragoza (which is about 1.7 times Zurich). The problem is that people always under- or overestimate city pops because of the different municipality areas. For example in Geneva the city pop is only tight to 190k, but they live on an area of 15km2, which makes it one of the densest populated cities with nearly 12000/km2.

er...

Zaragoza 682,000 (city proper), 783,000 (Metro Area)
Zurich 361,000 (city proper), 1.6million (Metro Area)

I would personally group them all together regarding their size as a small-medium city.

The point I was making is that Zaragoza itself is bigger than both Zurich and Helsinki population and area wise I think I made it very clear, and the numbers you've shown indicate the same.
Of course it depends if you take the city itself or the metro area, but I personally don't like combining all the municipalities, sometimes its allright, others it does not make a lot of sense, especially if there are two municipalities of equal sizes.
I agree with you that all three fall into the category medium cities.
And by the way, imo Zaragoza is quite ugly, surely falls behind both Zurich and Helsinki.
