    Default Most beutiful city, in your opinion

    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.

    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 say Granada. The mixture of Western and Islamic architecture works well and the Alhambra is just stunning.

    Any city is beatiful, but only if you visit.
