    I'm just wondering where people like retiring to? My favourite would have to be Ibiza (not near any clubs), I've been 4 times in the past 6 years, so would be interested in other peoples opinions.

    Nice,New York or sydney as far as cities go,I love them all and the areas outside them.I'd just people watch the world go by in any of those.
    Barbados for the friendly people and the getaway East of the island,It's like rugged west clare but with 30c heat and a sea breeze and practically isolated (empty of people) long sandy beaches...oh and the coconut trees :)

    I guess Nice because we can just jump on a plane and don't have to worry about accommodation.

    I really love going to the Canary Islands too... There's so much more to them than just the resorts.

    If money wasn't a problem, I'd go back to Cuba tomorrow.

    Scandanaiva for the secenery and the lakes. Yeah, I know, it's expensive, but it's worth it

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    It has to be Botswana for me.... the gentle pace of life ...the open spaces..the friendly people....

    I also quite like the Cochilla valley area east of LA along I10.

    No3 would be Andros island.. yknow ..off the coast near Miami

    My best tropical place would be Cuba I have been many times and it is fantastic, the powder white sand and the culture is much better than the over priced places like Barbados etc...

    My favourite cities are Athens,Belgrade,Vienna and Warsaw.

    My favourite place here in Ireland is around Bunratty Castle area in Co.Clare.

    I love Gdansk in Poland, we were there last year and all I can say is if get a chance to go there for a city break then grab it. There are direct flights starting from Cork later on in the year.

    I also love Paris and Edinburgh, also direct flights from Cork.

    Freiburg in Germany, fantastic student town on the French and Swiss borders

    St Lucia, most amazing place I've been in my life

    Maine for the beauty and Utah for the landscape

    So hard to choose:

    China especially Xian - the Terracotta Warriors are breathtaking in real life
    Iguazu falls in Argentina - an amazing sight
    Rio de Janerio - fantastic city
    Rome
    New York

    Genoa Italy. Went there by accident when my bf decided to bring me to Venice for Easter. Wasn't impressed at all by Venice so we decided to drive a couple of hours elsewhere and ended up there. Its amazing and I've been twice since.

    Also, I adore South of France. Anywhere in that region. Beautiful
