    Rio de Janeiro.

    Been there twice, love it. Massive metropolis right on the beach. The geography of the place is incredible.

    Glasgow. Cracking city.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 18,299 ✭✭✭✭The Backwards Man


    Vegas and Derry. Only one of them by choice. :P

    Is this a just a boring list thread or can we say why we would return to them?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,389 ✭✭✭NachoBusiness


    Dublin, so I can get into my house.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 259 ✭✭Dep!


    At least the other thread has great details given as to why the poster suggested them and wont go back there. This thread seems to be mostly, so far, just a list of cities.

    Hence much more boring than the other thread.

    San Diego
    Nice


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,785 ✭✭✭KungPao


    Wouldn't this thread be better if people said why they'd return?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 18,299 ✭✭✭✭The Backwards Man


    I'll tell mine anyway. I go to Vegas because I buy all my clothes there and I wouldn't have a stitch to wear if I didn't go. I go to Derry because I have to go through it to get to almost everywhere else (including Vegas)

    True.

    Reasons for both Barcelona and Rome is the food, the architecture and the history.

    Some things don't need explaining though.

    Nottingham - not exactly exotic but I made friends there so am very fond of the place. It has a good pub scene, it's not too big and not too small, has rough areas but they're pretty easily avoided. Very underrated city imo.

    Shanghai - spent five nights there and would love to go back. It's a crazy mix of West and East.

    Amsterdam - spent only two nights there, would have loved to have seen more of it.

    Why you prefer one city over another does.

    Are you nominating two cities or giving very concise reasons for returning to San Diego?

    Two cities.
    San Diego because it's such a nice clean city, great climate and loads to do.
    Nice - similar to San Diego but on the Mediterranean and great food and wine only a short flight from Dublin.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,070 ✭✭✭✭pq0n1ct4ve8zf5


    Paris, because pastries and Pere Lachaise. And because when I was going there I was thinking I probably have some romanticised movie version of the city in my head and it's not going to be like that at all, and actually it was pretty damn close. I mean you can't see the Eiffel tower from everywhere, but apart from that. I also really like the metro, I'd nearly go over for a few days and just ride the metro around and watch people.

    Florence, again because of the food and it really is staggeringly beautiful (only really got to see the city centre). You don't even have to go into any of the museums and galleries, it's just art! Art everywhere! The Boboli Gardens are amazing too.

    Edinburgh, I don't really know why. I just really enjoyed myself there.

    I've been to Vegas twice and starting from the MGM, I've only made it to Ceasers palace.
    So yeah, I'd go back to see the whole strip.

    Bangkok - its like a drug,always go back trying to chase the first time

    New york- was illegal there for many years,left a bit of my soul there

    Toronto - expensive, but I had a ball there

    Phnom Penh - just for the madness of the place

    Kilkenny, Edinburgh, Dublin, Cork, London, Brussels, Bath and Paris. I could write a heap about them all but have always had a great time in them.

    Dublin. I live here


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,794 ✭✭✭Aongus Von Bismarck


    Berlin. It's not the prettiest city in the world, but it makes up for it by being so alive and vibrant. Berliners are lovely people as well. Wonderful art galleries, museums, walking tours, districts, coffee shops, bars and restaurants. The most exciting and contemporary European capital.

    I haven't lived in Dublin for almost 10 years, but it's a city I do like. Again, it has a wonderful gritty charm. It's got that mixture of the old and the modern. And despite what you read online; the Irish are making a real go of things. There's an excitement in the air. Some wonderful new places to eat, good bars, close to the sea and the mountains, great history, relaxed vibe.

    I might even move back there!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 44 hightide


    Has to be Barcelona.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,263 ✭✭✭Gongoozler


    London, Porto, Rome

    London, there's so much happening there, been three times and still have things I'd like to go back to see.

    Porto, it's a lovely little place. have been for Sao Joao twice and will go back again another time hopefully, would highly recommend this for anyone to experience. It's a small enough city, but so nice and homely. and so much port.

    Rome, it's the feeling of the place, it's such a holiday feeling, warm, nice architecture, different people, different food (though I wasn't mad about the food), and the history.

    What an odd thing to say in an Irish forum.


  • Registered Users, Subscribers, Registered Users 2 Posts: 47,351 ✭✭✭✭Zaph


    Cape Town - absolutely stunning city and there's so much to see and do relatively close to it as well.

    Montreal - had a ball the time I was there, totally different feel to any other North American city I've been to.

    New York - to paraphrase Samuel Johnson - when a man is tired of New York, he is tired of life.

    Barcelona - so much to see and do there that it's impossible not to have a good time.

    Rome - it's just a beautiful city and everything you want to see is within walking distance. Plus I proposed to my wife there so it'll always be a bit special.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,263 ✭✭✭Gongoozler


    But Montreal is in Canada
