Yikes this is probably the toughest one yet for me.
1- Munich
2- Florence
3- Toronto?
4- Boston
5- Nha Trang
6- Amsterdam
7- Dublin
8- Edinburgh
9- Hamilton (I kinda feel like I should put where I live)

Toronto and Hamilton are really just there because I know a lot more about them as I've been to them a lot.

I can honestly say I've seen a lot of places around the world thanks to my job and the travelling it has allowed me to. I've seen some good places that people may think they want to see, and some not so good that many would want to see.

Top 10 cities I've visited and would love to go back to:

1. Rome. The history there is amazing and you really need a good week to get most of it in.
2. Dubai - Beaches and shopping come to top of mind for me when thinking about Dubai. Probably the best gold souks you'll find and the Dubai Mall with a hockey rink and ski slope inside it is something you'll never forget.
3. Manhattan - So much to see and do there. You needs days to see everything.
4. Barcelona - Love the city and the nightlife but you have to watch out for pick-pocketers.
5. Athens - Much like Rome, the history and sights there are awesome.
6. Istanbul Turkey - Port city in the Med, tons of money there, excellent restaurants and beaches. The history is excellent and like Dubai, awesome shopping souk districts.
7. Jerusalem - Again, being a history buff, it's just amazing. So much to see and take in.
8. Malaga Spain - Beaches, beaches and more beaches. Oh, and some amazing golf courses.
9. Madeira Portugal - Some of the best golf and amazing wine and whiskey.
10. Malta - Again, there's so much ancient history there for such a small island. The seafood there is incredible.

I wanted to put a couple other cities on there, like Split Croatia, Philadelphia, Mombassa, Salalah Oman, Marmaris Turkey, Catania Sicily, Odessa Ukraine (shame what has happened to that city), Cagliari Italy, Edinburgh, Dublin. All of those places deserve honorable mentions to me and I have great memories from all those places, to name too many LOL!.

Didn’t like Athens at all. Felt like the buildings would crumble any second. Very historical though for sure.

It's funny. I went to the Giza pyramids probably 13 years ago and while it was cool to see once, I would never pay to go back there again. Very dirty city and they literally have everything built right on top of them. I was standing in a Pizza Hut eating lunch with the Pyramids and Sphynx right behind me.

Wow, sounds very interesting. Pizza hut surrounded by iconic history, who would of thunk it.

I kinda felt this way to Rome, but not to the dirty city, or modern city built around ancient buildings. But just a bunch of historic sites that was "this is what it used to look like". I have to say I heavily enjoyed Rome, but I also don't know if I would go out of my way again for it.

Venice was a crappy city. I was there just after a large flood, so it literally smelled of crap, and I ended up getting food poisoning there. Nothing about Venice made me think romance, which is what Hollywood made me think the city was like.

I haven't been to enough places to properly weigh in but New Orleans has to be a contender.

[LawMan]

1. Munich – loved all of Germany. The beer gardens in summer is such an amazing experience
2. Florence -all the Italian charm without the over bearing Roman street merchants
3. Prague – amazing charm, slower pace, great weather, food and beer.
4. Berlin – a very nice capital city, transportation seemed better flowing than other cities of its size.
5. New York City – an amazing experience, could never live there. Great to visit.
6. London – more for the history, crazy traffic, crazy expensive.
7. Las Vegas – great tourist experience, unlike anything else anywhere in the world
8. New Orleans – similar to Las Vegas – has some nice old southern charm in there as well.
9. Monaco – If you want to feel like a Baller and a peasant at the same time spend a weekend here.
10. Brussels – loved all my time in the Netherlands and Belgium. Brussels was our favorite individual city in that area, had the charm without the over the topness that is Amsterdam.



Last place, Paris, France…. Gross, hot, smeels like urine, everyone is mean to you.
