Wow, Paris doesn't even make the top 8 European cities according to this poll. The Parisians may not be the most polite/patient/English-savvy hosts, but the city itself is unrivaled in terms of beautiful architecture and city layout. Paris, je t'aime.

Dude, stoppen der Spamming plz.

Right... :) :cheers:

Copenhagen looks/is very beautiful, but I haven't been there (sorry, my bad!) so I haven't voted for it. I voted for Paris, Berlin, Amsterdam and Budapest, which are my favourites. I do like Prague, but it doesn't appeal as much to me as Budapest and Berlin (the other CE-cities) do. Kinda hard to explain why, I think it has a lot to do with my personal experiences (especially in Budapest) and nothing with Prague...

Next to Berlin i love London and Madrid!

From my (an Asian living in Canada's point of view)

1) Berlin (been there numerous times - Germany is my favourite part of Europe)
2) Istanbul (fascinating and beautiful city steeped in history)
3) London (used to live in London, a great city)
4) Moscow (never been, but Russia and Russian culture has always fascinated me)
5) Amsterdam (Lovely place, visited numerous times)

Greetings from India! And Canada!

Kopenhagen has always been my favorite city in Europe. It's not too big, it offers beautiful architecture, clean and relaxing. I've actually considered buying an apartment there, as a spring/summer hangout.

1-Madrid
2-London
3-Paris
4-Rome
5-Prague
6-Lisbon

Brussels is bigger than Copenhagen,Amsterdam and StockholmNo... not really...

Copenhagen and Brussels both at 6km "scale" - scroll to compare..

Madrid is my cup of tea.

Be undisturbed, Copenhagen is much larger than Brussels.

Sine 753bc the answer is the same! (and the poll confirm that)

Vienna, London, Budapest, Kiev, Moscow

Vienna, London, Budapest, Kiev, Moscow

Kiev and Moscow ????

Hahahhahaahaa.Dude you are uneducated.In Gaming issues like PS3,xbox360 and Wii you are good educated but in geographical issues i must help you.You see on the map the little part next to Greece.It is called Thrace.It makes 3 % of Turkey´s whole size.Thrace is in Europe.Istanbul is the only city in the world that is between two continents.So it must choose one side.You can´t chose two sides.And historical Istanbul (early names are Byzantium,Nova Roma and Constantinople) is part of Europe (see Eastern Roman Empire and Byzantium).Also the thread is called which european city do you like.And the name Istanbul is in the list. :)

Do you know that Istanbul is choosen for 2010 as European Culture Capital.


oh btw. you are funny.You see on the map Cyprus.Isn´t Cyprus Asia?And where is Ukraine and the part of Russia till Moscow ;) :lol:

Dude you are uneducated. Well I'm no Stephen Hawking...

You see on the map the little part next to Greece.It is called Thrace.It makes 3 % of Turkey´s whole size.Thrace is in Europe.So 3% makes the 97% automaticly European..

Well with 99% of Denmark located in North America I guess I'm North American then... :|

Do you know that Istanbul is choosen for 2010 as European Culture Capital.Did you know Israel have won the Eurovision songcontest 3 times?

I dont talk about Turkey.Yes Turkey is not european.I would call it Eurasian.We just talk about Istanbul.Forget the rest.Moscow is european but Siberia is not european.Cyprus is also not european.
But it is a fact that Istanbul is geographically 50 % on european side.And the Thrace part of Turkey is full on european side which is almost as great as belgium.Yes and Turkey also won the Eurovision song contest :cheers:

If you want to make clear the dividing line between the protestant/catholic latin-writing west and the orthodox cyrillic-writing east (which makes some sense) you also have to omit Belarus, Bulgaria, Moldova, Serbia, Montenegro, Macedonia, and to some extent Albania, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Greece, Cyprus and Romania.

By the way, your map does include Istanbul, and I thought you meant to say that Istanbul was not in Europe...

If we join yes :)You could take Denmark's place - we ( or atleast some 50% of us ) wants out...

I also think Turkey will be much better without it... as it is now it's free - the EU have turned into the completely opposit! :(



About the map it's a disputed case so technically no one is right or wrong.. in my book both Turkey, Cyprus and Russia have European sides - but are not fully part of it.. feel about my opinion what you like..

You could take Denmark's place - we ( or atleast some 50% of us ) wants out...

Denmark is one of the wealthiest countries in the EU.Why you are not satisfied with it???Btw. when i was a child i have played much with Lego :)

is that 300 part 2? :D

yes this time the turks invade,but the byzantines dont even have a chance this time :D

Denmark is one of the wealthiest countries in the EU.Why you are not satisfied with it??? I can only speak for me... first and foremost it's because it takes our identity away from us making us just a small state in a huge union..
( the old dream of a unified Scandinavia was ruined because of this )


Second because it limits our freedom with all it's laws rules and regulations
( we now have to accept people riding frigging 80km/h gocarts on the freeway - jeezes! )


Third because it limit's our economy... f.ex look at Switzerland, Iceland or Norway.. all are around our economic level - the only difference is that they are allowed to run "wild" where we're stuck with the EU stuff...


All that said the EU isn't all bad for us - but it have reached a level where it's either no more - or quiting it.. ( Greenland have already quit - so technically only 1% of the country that's part of the EU :) )



The intrest in joining the EU reminds me of the immigrants going to the US around 100 years ago... it may be the promised land - but it didn't stop them from ending up in ghettos in Brooklyn and Bronx..

Turkey is doing great - you don't need the EU.. and believe me you don't want the EU!

The EU is great!
Europe need the EU, to save the peace and to be a power in the world, if europe get in little parts again like before the 2 world war, Europe get distroid again.
I love the EU, Danmark is an very nice country, its an part of the EU like all the other countrys!
Also the EU is good for the Ecenomy, beleve me, you will see, in some years countrys like norway will join the EU, already the money in Switzerland go down in relacion whit the euro.

i like the EU, because
The EU save the peace and the affluent societys in europe, to concurate in this world, we have to work together, and not every country in Europe by his selfe.

EU is great for poor countris like the new 15, portugal, greece and so, but for rich countries I think that it brings more prejudice than benefits.

I think that the major countries of the EU, maybe are doing great sacrifices, but with the purpouse and the idea of a future omogenous development of all the members.

Europe need the EU, to save the peace and to be a power in the worldHowcome?

Except for the US there's no country outthere capable of even scratching the UK, France or Germany on their own soil...

Why should we join the arms race of the superpowers - this is the nuclear age - if shit ever hits the fan we'll all be dust in a few hours anyway..

Let the bullies fight - we've been there done that and came out of it smarter - no good will come from it.. just look at how Soviet turned out or how the US economy is today...

All empires will eventually fall - and they tend to fall hard!

if europe get in little parts again like before the 2 world war, Europe get distroid again.We are still in socalled "littles part" as it is.. and yet no country have been destroyed!

We have NATO we don't need anything else!


I love the EU, Danmark is an very nice countryThanks! :cheers1:

its an part of the EU like all the other countrys! Yes 1% of the Kingdom is!

Well actually have have some special rules since we voted against the Maastricht treaty... ( one of them is military related btw )


Also the EU is good for the Ecenomy, beleve me, you will see, in some years countrys like norway will join the EUYes and pigs will fly into space singing showtunes in Latin


we have to work together, and not every country in Europe by his selfe. Why?

Sure the new poor countries benefit greatly - but we can aid them without having a union!

okay now so does anyone know the population of the European side of Istanbul, im just interested :)

The EU needs to destroyed for the benefit of all of us. Rich Germanic countries need to form their own union.

Fine with me - but I think the "Greco-Turkish Union" would require a lot of attention ( and peacekeepers ) ASAP :lol:

The NATO-administered area is right next door, so no problem.

The NATO-administered area is right next door, so no problem.:lol:

@ Mr Denmark:
So the EU takes your identity away? How do policies on a costums union and an internal market take you identity away? That's what the EU is mostly about (EU foreign and security policy are virtually non-existant, and I don't really see how these areas would hamper you Danish identity). Has the EU adopted legislation that prevents the use of the Danish language in public spheres? In short, has the EU introduced any laws that prevents the Danes from celebrating their Danish culture and heritage? Don't think so.

Quite the opposite. The motto of the EU is "Unity in diversity" and the EU has numerous policies to increase the use of national and minority languages and policies to enhance the rights of minorities. The disappearance of national borders has allowed minorities living outside the border of their nation-state (for example, the Hungarian minorities in Romania and Slovakia) to travel almost freely to the state they feel connected to. The situation of these minorities has improved immensely in the last decade, because the EU has pressured the governments of these new EU states to do something about minority rights (it is one of the criteria for joining the EU).

Furthermore, Iceland and Norway are indeed not a part of the EU, but they are of the European Economic Area (EEA). This means that they HAVE TO adopt EU legislation in order to maintain EEA-membership, without having a say on it in the European Parliament or the Council of Ministers. Former Norwegian Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg has described this situation as a "fax democracy", with Norway waiting for their latest legislation to be faxed from the European Commission.

Is that what you want? Or do you want to shut off Denmark completely from the rest of Europe, which means leaving the Costums Union and the Internal Market (free movement of goods, services, persons and capital). That will be devastating for your economy, especially since Denmark is a small country that depends for a large part on foreign trade...

Last but not least: there are indeed some disputes about the exact geographical borders of Europe, but there is no geographer I know of that doesn't include Thrace or Western Russia in Europe. Haven't you learnt in school that the Ural mountains are the border between Europe and Asia? I thought you were joking around in your comments on Moscow being not European, but you seem pretty serious. I'm really stunned that a European person can really think that Moscow is in Asia. To me it is common sense that Moscow lies in Europe.

@ Mr Denmark:
So the EU takes your identity away? How do policies on a costums union and an internal market take you identity away?Ask all the Americans who apperently can't understand that EU members are countries and not states...

When that stops so does my bitching of my national identity being taken away from me!

That's what the EU is mostly about (EU foreign and security policy are virtually non-existant, and I don't really see how these areas would hamper you Danish identity) Has the EU adopted legislation that prevents the use of the Danish language in public spheres?

Don't think so.We can't call our food Feta anymore.. we can't buy crooked cucumbers.. those two were the soul and hearth of Danishness :D

Nah.. as it is now it's bareble.. but NO more thanks! ( a little less would indeed be fine! )

That will be devastating for your economy, especially since Denmark is a small country that depends for a large part on foreign trade...I want a Nordic or Scandinavian Union... if that means we will have to take our trading elsewhere no problem - Mainland Europe is just a bug compared to the upcomming Asian market anyway! We'll adapt, we always did - no reason to sell out to avoid a loss of money - there are more important things than that!

To me it is common sense that Moscow lies in Europe. If Turkey is Europe Denmark is North America... put the borders where you like - my opinion stays the same..

As I said there no doubt there's European culture present in both Turkey, Cuprus and Russia - but that doesn't make them European more than it makes Denmark North American...

Right, so because Americans can't distinguish between European countries, you find that the EU compromises your national identity... :nuts:

I didn't say that Turkey lies completely in Europe. Only a small part does, and Istanbul lies on that small part. 25% of Russia lies in Europe (with two-thirds of the Russian population) and the Russian capital, Moscow, lies in Europe.

You contended that Moscow and Istanbul are in Europe geographically, now I don't know any serious geographer that doesn't include Moscow and Istanbul in Europe.

You don't seem to get that the geographical borders of a continent can run through a country. If we apply your definition and include only whole countries in continents, then indeed Denmark would be North-American, because the largest part of Denmark lies in North America. I have learnt in school, however, that the mainland of Denmark and the Faroe Islands are part of Europe, while Greenland is part of North America. Same counts for the Kingdom of the Netherlands: the Netherlands are part of Europe, Aruba and the Netherlands Antilles are part of South America.

Constantinople must be conquered .

hahahaha......you prove with your posts why Turkey or Istanbul for that matter are not European..........such an intense, fanatical thinking....by so many Turkish...it's a shame really..:ohno:

Prefer this one

http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k217/Aviller71/NewEU2.jpg

i'll have to kinda disagree with that Greco-Turkish union there

As I said there no doubt there's European culture present in both Turkey, Cyprus and Russia - but that doesn't make them European more than it makes Denmark North American.....

well i think that Cyprus may not be close to Europe as usually defined,however clearly should not be put in the same level as Turkey,Europe in my personal opinion always, is also about basic principles,historical ties,co-operation etc...the Republic of Cyprus..i believe is European enough,from Ancient Times.

Right, so because Americans can't distinguish between European countries, you find that the EU compromises your national identity...Yes... if it's like this now - how will it be 10 or 20 years from now...

I didn't say that Turkey lies completely in Europe. Only a small part does, and Istanbul lies on that small part.So 50% of 3% = 100%??? :lol:


You contended that Moscow and Istanbul are in Europe geographically, now I don't know any serious geographer that doesn't include Moscow and Istanbul in Europe. Try googling "Europe map"...

You don't seem to get that the geographical borders of a continent can run through a country.I get it just fine... I just don't think that because a minority live in one place the entire rest follows automaticly..

If we apply your definition and include only whole countries in continents, then indeed Denmark would be North-American, because the largest part of Denmark lies in North America. Okay dokey partner - looks like little old me will have to get me a new pickup and a sixshooter - now ya all come back now ya hear!

Hmm now that I'm officially a yank I can really start bashing them pecky Europ'ians... :cheers:

I have learnt in school, however, that the mainland of Denmark and the Faroe Islands are part of Europe, while Greenland is part of North America.Location vise I agree - but that still doesn't make the Danes living up there North Americans does it?

Same counts for the Kingdom of the Netherlands: the Netherlands are part of Europe, Aruba and the Netherlands Antilles are part of South America. And do that make Dutch born there South Americans? ( what do their passports say? )



Listen... it's a free world and I dislike the EU and don't think Moscow or Istanbul is European cities.. please respect my opinion.. in return I'll respect yours... :cheers:


As long as it's officially disputed there's little point in arguing about it...

hahahaha......you prove with your posts why Turkey or Istanbul for that matter are not European..........such an intense, fanatical thinking....by so many Turkish...it's a shame really..:ohno:

why i prove that its not european,i know if the byzantines had still istanbul in their hands,you guys would count it as european

The EU needs to destroyed for the benefit of all of us. Rich Germanic countries need to form their own union.

That's not exactly the opinion of the germans. (I mean for those that are 'up')

Did you enlarge a bit Switzerland? :D

Everywhere in wikipedia Istanbul is count as european.Give Europe and you will see it.

Everywhere in wikipedia Istanbul is count as european.Give Europe and you will see it. So why doesn't Turkey show up on the list of European Capitals???

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_European_countries_and_their_capitals

Heck even your German pic/link has a disclaimer where it informs it's locatation being half Asian and only the "old town center" is located on "European soil"..

As I've said it's a disputed issue - feel about it how you like and I'll do the same..

I agree..

But would prefere to keep it and just make some minor changes - sort of like this:

http://i19.tinypic.com/4z2l9pe.jpg Mr D you may dream of a Nordic Union, but that may not include Sweden and Finland as I'm pretty sure most Swedes and Finns want to be in the EU.

Mr D you may dream of a Nordic Union, but that may not include Sweden and Finland as I'm pretty sure most Swedes and Finns want to be in the EU.

Let's see what the future brings if mainland Denmark leaves and team up with Norway.. I have a feeling that a wider economic grap between Sweden and Denmark/Norway will change a few minds - and if not we'll simply a get a lot more workers, so a win win situation no matter what :)

A Nordic Union should ofcause be the will of the people ( contrary to a certain other union ;) ) - so if we have to keep it Norway, Iceland, Denmark so be it... 200 years ago it was one country anyway.. ( yep.. Denmark :yes: )

BTW http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nordic_Council - half way there :)

The second nations starts leaving the EU I think you'll see a snowball effect.....
Me I'm just pondering whether the UK or Denmark will be first... all we need is an election :)

I've seen much more idiotic comments coming from Greek forumers... Starting with you... :lol:

Why do you say that?

You are funny :D.Do you know the capital of Turkey???It is Ankara.And Ankara is in Asia.But Istanbul is count as European.But in the list you see Nicosia,the capital of Cyprus which is in Asia too :)

I thought you'd come back with something Mr D.

The final sentence of the link says it all.

The tasks of the Nordic Council overlap significantly with the European Union and related organizations and treaties.

Quite frankly i find your posturing to smack of a superiority complex, but like all those who come across this way, they are cut down to size sooner or later. Also, I take it most Danes don't think like you, but i must admit some years ago when I was back-packing through Europe I'd occasionally hear a Dane (usually a woman for some reason) in a hostel whinging about the EU and its laws. 'They won't let us make these toys, we have to listen to others view...blah blah blah'...

Get with it, the world is shrinking and sadly to many 'sinking', and we're all on the same boat. We have to be united if we like it or not...And if so-called progressive, rich Europe can't do it, can't get over petty ethnic and regional parochialism, well there's no hope for this world!!!

Nothing personal Mr D, I know you're an OK bloke...just my opinion.

Don't pay too much attention to Mr. D. He's a nice guy but I doubt he represents a wider public opinion. The Nordics are known to be quite "independentist", after all both Sweden and Denmark said no to the euro, but at the end of the day they're pragmatic as well and they know that they stand to benefit from EU-membership too.

Anyway, how could Loody miss one of Europe's real gems:

You are UNBELIEVABLE. I tried to explain to you numerous times that no one here, except for YOU, thinks that a country can only be a part of one continent. I have never ever said that the Turks in Anatolia or the Russians in Siberia are Europeans! Istanbul, however lies in Europe and so does Moscow. Ankara is in Asia, that's why it doesn't show up in the list of European capitals.

I would say, take a look at:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geography_of_Europe

I would say, take a look at:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geography_of_Europe

Here a quote about the bounderies of Europe in wikipedia

The boundary continues to the Caspian Sea, the crest of the Caucasus Mountains or, alternatively, the Kura River in the Caucasus, and on to the Black Sea; the Bosporus, the Sea of Marmara, and the Dardanelles conclude the Asian boundary

Bosporus,Sea of Marmara and Dardanelles are part of Turkey.Even a part of Georgia in the Caucasus is on the european continent

You are UNBELIEVABLE. I tried to explain to you numerous times that no one here, except for YOU, thinks that a country can only be a part of one continent.That's strange I seem to remember having said a country CAN be part of different continents..

Where we disagree seems to be about the population..

And as I recall I tried asking you about whether or not people in f.ex Aruba is or is not still Europeans?

I have never ever said that the Turks in Anatolia or the Russians in Siberia are Europeans! Istanbul, however lies in Europe and so does MoscowAnd this is where we disgree...

The man made line that makes up the European continent is disputed... and even if you count Thrace as European you still only get half the city and mainly the old part!

So even by that deffinition you only get a poplulation around half of that of London...

Istanbul looks great and I look forward tovisiting - but a European city it isn't in my book - like it or not!

About Moscow we'll never agree, so I see no point in even starting this discussion... we disagree.. let it stay at that



I thought you'd come back with something Mr DI'm down with the flu and have been for days - don't expect too much of me ( that also goes for when I'm not sick btw :D )


Quite frankly i find your posturing to smack of a superiority complex, but like all those who come across this way, they are cut down to size sooner or later.Yes fight the opposition - who cares what the people think - the EU knows better - they'll do the thinking for us.....


Also, I take it most Danes don't think like you Nope - I'm unique :D

But when it comes to further EU involvement by new treaties I think you'll find the Danes to be very against it if goes up for election ( as it will if they move on with it )

So with a 50-50 split population I feel it would be better if we simply quit - that way we wouldn't be holding others back and we could do what we want...

The EU should be the interest of all ( 90%+ population ) or not exist at all!
( we owe that to the future generations who has to live with our choices! )


when I was back-packing through Europe I'd occasionally hear a Dane (usually a woman for some reason) in a hostel whinging about the EU and its laws. 'They won't let us make these toys, we have to listen to others view...blah blah blah'... That blah blah blah'ing is the opinion of a person... you have to respect that opinions differ - even if you don't like it!

What point is there on building a union with let's say a 51% approval rating?

Such a thing is doomed from day one - and the more youforce it on people the nastier the downfall will be! ( history have taught us this SO many times- yet the power hungy people ignore this and keeps doing the same mistakes over and over again :ohno: )

Get with it, the world is shrinking and sadly to many 'sinking', and we're all on the same boat. We have to be united if we like it or not... No we don't... Denmark have done very well by itself - we've overcome every frigging obsticle from being firebombed to the stone age by the British, the plague, Swedish and German invasions, great fires you name it... it's not always easy but we always come out of it stronger..

Hudling together is imo for cowards - Denmark may just be the size of a grain of sand in this mighty univers of ours - but I'd much rather see it go down fighting if nessesary than to see it get lost and crapped over like some old Roman colony/state...

Call me what you want, think of me what you want - it matters not to me - but please accept that as an human being I have the right to my opinions and as a citizen in the EU I have every right to question it and critizize every way I see fitting!

Just as I have the right to vote every way I see fitting...

And if so-called progressive, rich Europe can't do it, can't get over petty ethnic and regional parochialism, well there's no hope for this world!!! Ofcause there's no hope... the human species is a virus - we will kill the host and then ourself.. the only thing that matters is making our tiny 1-120 years on this planet as great as posible! ( every man is responsible for his own distiny - fuck the rest if they wont listen to good advice! Survival of the fittest! )

Just because to families/countries are neighbours doesn't mean they should join up together!

( 10 specially trained individual soldiers works a lot better than a regular squad of grunts )

Nothing personal Mr D, I know you're an OK bloke...just my opinion. I know, and I fully respect it - I just don't agree that's all!

Don't pay too much attention to Mr. D. He's a nice guy but I doubt he represents a wider public opinion.

I definitely agree.
Mr D is a bad example to understand how the nordic "mood" is.
I'm not trying to be an example here - I only represent me!

This however would be an example of the mood up here:


-Norwegian rejection of EU membership, on both occasions
-Danish rejection of the Maastricht Treaty
-Danish rejection of the euro
-Swedish rejection of the euro
-Iceland has never applied for membership
-Greenland chose not to remain in the EU (then the EEC) when it was granted home rule by Denmark in 1979
- fewer than 3 in 10 citizens of Sweden feel their country have benefited from membership of the EU
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euroscepticism

I'm not trying to be an example here - I only represent me!



the problem is that often it seems that you try to represent the whole scandinavia.

the problem is that often it seems that you try to represent the whole scandinavia.I sure hope not!

While my views doesn't differ too much from the general attitude in Denmark I can only speak for me..

Ofcause if I feel it's suited and can back it up I do post "general attitude" posts - but I hope I in them make it clear that they are just that and not "hard facts" or "conclusive evidence"

Should I have hard facts they ofcause will be posted too as just that...


BTW this is way off topic... should we get back on topic...

Istanbul looks great and I look forward tovisiting - but a European city it isn't in my book - like it or not!

You are welcome.Istanbul excepts 10 million tourists till 2010 :cheers:

Istanbul's strategy to rank among Europe's top destinatiions for mass tourism and conventions


Most visitors rank it amongst the most exciting and vibrant cities in the world. While not matching the tourist inflows of Europe's top destinations, Istanbul is looking to make up ground on rival cities. That is through a combination of conventional tourism - dependent on the city's historical, cultural sites and shopping - in addition to the business segment, with foreign businessmen attending conventions and conferences.

According to Oxford Business Group Latest Briefings:

"Like the rest of Turkey's tourism industry, Istanbul has set its sights on some ambitious targets. The city attracted an estimated 5.5million tourists in 2006. According to Ergun Gungor, the Deputy Governor of Istanbul, the number of tourists entering Istanbul increased by 28.5% during the first three months of 2007, compared to the same period the year before. Gungor also pointed out that a 25% increase in tourist flows for 2007 would translate into close to 7 million visitors by the year-end. A consistent 15% increase in tourist numbers for the next 4 years would see numbers hit 10 million by 2010. Istanbul is clearly looking to close the gap on Europe's urban hotspots, including London with its 15.2million foreign tourists in 2006, while inner Paris recorded an estimated 27 million foreign visitors the same year.

To meet its target, the governor's office has engaged in a campaign to increase the inflow of foreign tourists. The 3rd Istanbul Tourism Festival, held in April 2007 - gathering representatives of the industry and public - was notable in this regard. Meanwhile, the Touristic Hotels & Investors Association (TUROB) continues to push ahead with various initiatives, including the Istanbul Destination Project and Istanbul Shopping Festival, to promote the city and develop its pulling power. More importantly, the EU named Istanbul the European Cultural Centre for year 2010.

Back in December 2006, Guven Tasbasi, the former deputy governor of Istanbul predicted that Istanbul would not only pull in 10m tourists by 2010 but also earn 500m euros in income from the industry.

Promoters have had little trouble selling Istanbul as a convention and conference centre, given its proximity to Europe, the Middle East and Former Soviet Union (FSU) along with its rich history and range of entertainment options. Hosting the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation Summit, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development Conference for Ministers Responsible for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises, the World Newspaper Congress and Organisation of the Islamic Conference (OIC) in 2004 drew the international spotlight onto the city. In 2007, Istanbul hosted such events as the Eastern Mediterranean International Tourism & Travel Fair (EMITT) with 2000 attendees, along with the 4th World Mayors' Summit, hosting 196 mayors and 24 international organisations. The facilities offered by the likes of the Istanbul Lutfi Kirdar Convention and Exhibition Centre, the World Trade Centre Istanbul (WTCI) and TURYAP Exhibition Halls have clearly tempted event organisers.

Convention and conference facilities have not been the only sources of attraction. The Champions League football final in May 2005 along with the opening of the F1 Grand Prix circuit in August that year played their part. With an attendance of 110,000 spectators, out of which 50,000 were non-Turks, Istanbul's first ever F1 race not only brought in a swell of tourism revenue but also a concomitant amount of publicity."

come on, plz vote all! ^^

Let's see what the future brings if mainland Denmark leaves and team up with Norway..


We can share our oil with you and then Denmark-Norway can dominate the arctic. :D

I definitely agree.
Mr D is a bad example to understand how the nordic "mood" is.

Nordic includes Norway which rejected EU membership twice.

My favourite city is Venice (not in the poll), then Rome, Paris, Bruges and Prague.

Of course, every single one of those offered cities is the most exciting. It's always the same - (nearly) everybody's tryin to defend his native country. Europeans are far more patriotic that other people can imagine thou ;)

I vote for all options, because all cities have something special and different to the rest. Madrid isn't the beautiful capital in Europe by far (:D). Budapest, Prague or Roma, for example, are in my top. But all people is doing their best contribution to their capital country to show the strong points of their countries. I think that's good :)

For me the most beloved and most european is Prague!!!

Budapest - "Pearl of the Danube"

It looks just like Caesar Palace in Las Vegas. :)

Well
Vienna / Wien / Wieden - for me a perfect place, an ideal combination of tradition, elegance, modernism and avangarda. A place suitable for the elytes and for the freaks. Beautifully located on the edge of the mountains, with the great communication.

Prague / Praha / Praga - an atmosphere you can feel in the air. The perfect spot for backpackers, artists, students. A great example of a fast development of the post socialist city

Lisbon / Lisboa / Lizbona - the sybol of a colonial emipre that ended eventually. Still a misteriuos beauty, an mixture of Europe, 'Arabia' and colonial far-far-away lands, melancholic fado capital, a city of steep narrow streets, trams and spectacular views...

Paris / Paris / Paryz - never ending story, pretending that it's not the world's capital would be foolish somehow...

Madrid / Madrid / Madryt - the booming capital situated in the middle of the uplands, so urban, full of people, traffic, always busy, no matter if in the middle of the day or at 4 in the morning...

That would be my top 5

Then I just realised I can get excited about every city in Europe... and write a lot about every single one... Each of the cities mentioned in the pool is absolutely special and can not be mistaken with any other. It feels absolutely fantastic.

^ Because Europe is just unique as a whole - if we wanna keep it like that, we should protect every little part of our heritage day by day for real :)

It looks just like Caesar Palace in Las Vegas. :)

Rome, Athens, Barcelona. .. I like Med cities.

Barcelona, Lisbon and Amsterdam!

EU is great for poor countris like the new 15, portugal, greece and so, but for rich countries I think that it brings more prejudice than benefits.

That's a huge misconception. Rich countries are benefitting a lot. Without the huge increase in the European economies of countries like Spain Europe would be much weaker and much more prone to recessions. The same with Poland now and in the future!

Not too mention that the payments figures to the European union are heavily distorted. What if Portugal receives money for infrastructure and has a German or Dutch company build it. Money flows back and forth. In an economy 1+1 <> 2.

The EU needs to destroyed for the benefit of all of us. Rich Germanic countries need to form their own union.

Being Dutch that's the last thing on my mind and on that of my countrymen.

Denmark is one of the wealthiest countries in the EU.Why you are not satisfied with it???Btw. when i was a child i have played much with Lego :)

Funnily enough wealthy people are not even that wealthy since they have a semi-communist system that makes everybody poor. It's better to be rich or upper middle-class in most other countries in Europe. If the Danes want out few Europeans will care. Their economy is not that big in European terms. Poland is much more important to the union than small countries that have a lacking sense of solidarity.
