"Kyoto, Japan is so beautiful and full of calm vibes and culinary delights."
"Bruges. Really like the alcoves."
"Prague."
"Edinburgh"
"A very underrated city but freaking magical. Everywhere you look is an orgasm to the eyes, lol. But I'd understand why it hasn't been mentioned much. It's so pricy and the weather is, well, brutally Scottish."
"Florence. I would move there tomorrow."
"Exploring Rome at Midnight was one of the best experiences I've ever had. I would love to do it again."
"Amsterdam."
"I was so pleasantly surprised. Went there this summer as the middle leg of a road trip. Thought "this is my kind of place".It's way more than smoking weed. Coming from a guy who really doesn't react well to weed at all."
"Porto, Portugal. My brother and I were staying in a hostel there and by chance without us knowing it was Festa de São João do Porto.
We just went around the city drinking and hitting strangers with inflatable hammers making friends of all ages and nationalities. It was incredible!"
"Granada, Spain. The architecture, the food (which comes free with your beer at any bar) and the people are amazing."
"Visited Vienna, and never left. Best place on earth."
"London."
"My commute to work used to involve a 20minute walk from Charing Cross station to Regent Street, via Trafalgar Square and Piccadilly Circus. Every day it gave me a little thrill."
"Lisbon, Portugal. Went there last September and fell in love with the city and its surroundings, only negative side was that we had to leave and come home!"
"Barcelona."
"I've travelled a lot but nothing compares to Barcelona IMO. The people, the city design, the Vibe. I love it so much."
"Chicago
Has large, grandiose vibes while still being incredibly accessible.
Food is great, public transportation was amazing when I was there, had a unique culture.
The cityscape was absolutely gorgeous as well.
It is the quintessential "city" -- like what I imagined in my head growing up."
"Copenhagen for a larger city.
Castelrotto for a smaller one."
"Montreal - super walkable, a ton to do and a very different feel for those of us nearby in the states."
"Honestly NYC. Some people find it hard to admit that it’s an incredible city and I don’t understand why. It’s not perfect but there really is no where else like it."
"Istanbul. Intoxicating."
"One of the greatest experiences of my life was doing a full day food tour in Istanbul. My god it was absolutely amazing."
"Krakow Poland is absolutely amazing."
"Fellow Krakow fan!! It’s just beautiful, the people are great, food is great, so walkable. If I won the lottery I would buy a little bolthole on the main square and watch the trumpeter every day."
"Berlin was great. Lots of history, art and great food."
"Singapore for sure. No words for how impressed I was, being a native of Northern California."
"The airport's freaking fantastic. Always gonna try to book international flights with one stop there."
"Hong Kong circa 2016 was an absolutely wild time. You could relax on a beach, go hiking on another tropical island, party at nightclubs in LKF, take a gondola up to Victoria Peak, and meet with business associates for a Michelin star dinner in a single day.
And you could spend the next day at night markets, eating amazing food at a sleepy seaside village and chilling in bookstores or exploring the under city by the subway stations. The entire city was easy to travel on the best subway system the world has ever seen.
I know Tokyo is gonna be at the top. As it should be. But what people in this thread don’t realize is that Hong Kong in the mid 2010’s had everything Tokyo had plus tropical beaches and incredible hiking/outdoor activities. With even better mass transit (as crazy as that sounds).
It really was the world’s first S Tier city in my honest opinion."
"Tokyo."
"Largest metro population on earth and amazingly clean and safe feeling for an average person walking down the street. If you try to go by strictly objective and measurable bits, it would be difficult to identify a city that exceeds the standards set by Tokyo."
"I love Wellington, NZ. Lots to do, lots to eat, and you can walk to most anywhere (or a short uber trip with zero waiting). It's my favourite getaway, but I wouldn't want to live there. In Australia, I could live in Port Douglas."
"I really liked san diego."
"I prefer San Diego to LA. Much more relaxed, lower prices, nicer people, and less busy.
The beaches in the surrounding area were also great enough compared to LA."
"Vancouver. The most beautiful city I've ever seen."
"Paris. Never had a bad time in that city."
I was afraid that Berlin would also be mentioned here but be warned. It is nothing more than a big shithole. Great in the 80s and 90s but now a failed City. BTW I was born and grown up in Berlin. I left the city forever for good reasons.
Well, no. Berlin is still a great city. It's not the party and creativity hotspot it used to be, thanks to politicians and real estate companies fighting this kind of culture, but it's still great
