I've decided to take a short break from my non-stop bashing of all things not Kaiser, and post a topic, not one of destruction, but of beauty. Not one of death but of life.
What is, in your opinion, the most beutiful city on Earth?
For me, it has to be Munich.
If you'd guys like, I can post some of the pics I took when I was there back in June.
Perth in Western Australia... makes Sydney beaches look a dirty brown, makes Sydney skies look grey and the city is clean.
paris for a big citie the the prettiest small city would be siena in tuscany
In terms of just sheer beauty, I think I would go for Prague (of course being there for vacation on a sunny wekend in May helps to create that impression).
I also loved Barcelona - the Gaudi buildings add a certain uniqueness to the look of the city.
In Germany, Munich is a good choice - I was also surprised how beautiful Dresden actually is...
Chicago without a doubt. The skyline is the best looking in the world, and the lake front is great for sitting around wasting time. Besides I'm here ~;)
A Clear Summer day in Downtown Seattle or Vancouver.
Although as far as beauty on a day to day basis, I think Athens and Istanbul are the two prettiest cities in the world.
I would have to say Glasgow ~;)
But apart from that Prague was really nice, wasn't too keen on Barcelona I thought the Gaudi buildings were, well, crap to be honest. I'm going to Dubrovnik in a month, anyone know anything about it?
Heathen! :stare: ~;)Quote:

haven't been to that much cities yet but I can say Paris is beautifull.
But I also love the atmosphere in smaller more southren cities...
Monaco. I love it ~D
Others, I would choose Budapest(really a great Medieval city), Wien(I love the gothic architecture), in Germany I only passed fast :embarassed:
I also liked Rome. Really interesting.
Or Amiens, in France. Small town but very cute.
Amiens? arrrrrh, sad, dark, dirty town. Lille is much better. Paris not bad either, in the area..... I did like Cordoba & Quebec a lot, too. Montréal......erm, no, thanks.Quote:

I haven't seen Lille(yet). As for Paris, good. My parents are especially fond of Paris and Venice. I don't even wanna know why.
Adelaide - after living in Sydney, the clean, wide open Adelaide was wonderful. Nice cricket ground too ~:)
Bath - wonderful old city. And had more hot chicks than any other place I've been
York - You can't move there for tripping over some historical building. Last time I went it was blanketed in snow, lovely ~:)
London! Some of it is admittedly crap, but there are some places that are very nice. I especially like the new building, the 'Gherkin'.

An incredibly odd, but somehow beautiful building.
The Vatican City.
Rome or Copenhagen would fall into 2nd place for me. Rome for the magnificent buildings and architecture, Copenhagen for the beautiful people (oh those beautiful Danes...) and their architecture.
Munich springs to mind too, for the Hofbrau House - my favorite pub in the world.
Brisbane is getting nicer with every year labor is in charge of the state.
but other then that stockholm springs to mind, or Hobart...
i hated adelaide so much it gave me a headache, adelaide is hole full of bogan D*&$s
thanks,
dizzy
lol, to be honest it kinds of gets my back up when tour guides and locals tell you that you have to love it, I'm quite capable of making my own mind up.Quote:

I loved Rome; could easily wander around all day exploring, there were so many things to see. Another excellent city is Venice. London I enjoyed because there was so much to do. Anything you could possibly want can be founds there, plus there was excellent clubbing.
Bath gets my pick, it's a wonderful place. I love Edinburgh as well.
The civic centre of Cardiff is also very pretty, especially at night.

We have a nice castle, too, which is right in the centre of town.

Edinburgh is great ecspecially when the Tatto is on now there is a good show to see, i also Love St Andrews, mainly because i love all of Scotland.
I would have to go for florence. You just wander around with your jaw hanging open.
:jawdrop:
Carcasonne
Well in terms of location, I would have to say Geneva. I mean everytime I look out of my bedroom window, I see this:

View from a friend of mine's balcony:

And out of the lounge, in good weather you can see Europe's highest mountain, the Mont Blanc.

And it also has a very nice Old Town

But architecturally speaking, I would choose Vienna for its beautiful Baroque and 19th century architecture.
Well, it's definately not Cairo.
I would go with Samarkand
Tell me now don't you...i might be moving there in a year or so.Quote:

I also love Athens which is where I used to live. Also Ediborough has struck my eye for it's fantastic castle etc..
From what I've seen, Vienna. But I really want to take a big trip around Italy someday so i can see Rome and Florence.
I really don't like Paris though, and I don't care much for London either, at least not for the look of it.
Athens??? really? If you like traffic jams and unfinished concrete boxes maybe. Being an architect in Athens must be the easiest job in the world, I know, we'll build another concrete box and not put a roof on, brilliant.
Prague and Bath have already been mentioned. Oxford is pretty good, although I suppose the pretty old bit:boring new bit ratio is better in (spit)Cambridge(spit).
Bergen in Norway is nice.
Old parts of St.Petersbourgh(spelling?) are very beutifull.
Wellas for the US our oldest one is pretty nice

And its got a neat fort.
http://hometown.aol.com/marzpatton/i...n%20marcos.jpg
Its St Augustine Fla by the way.
I hear Vienna is truly beautiful and I think Moscows pretty neat also.
