I'd take anywhere in Italy: Venice - it was as magical as I had dreamed. I feared I would be disappointed, but was not. Though, yes, the towns of Cinque Terre were AMAZING! Siena - an architect's wonderland (along with Florence and Rome of course). Rio de Janiero gets a vote from me too - the geography is CRAZY! (along with other things there...)   mem Citizen Username: Mem Post Number: 2537 Registered: 5-2001 Posted on Tuesday, January 6, 2004 - 11:24 am:        2nd: London, UK 3rd: Hamilton, Bermuda 4th: Vancouver, Canada 5th: Cologne, Germany   maggie Citizen Username: Maggie Post Number: 116 Registered: 5-2001 Posted on Tuesday, January 6, 2004 - 11:30 am:        My favorites (can't pick just one): Edinburgh, Scotland Brugge, Belgium Heidelberg, Germany   bellybuster Citizen Username: Bellybuster Post Number: 10 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Tuesday, January 6, 2004 - 11:32 am:        Orange, NJ   eliz Citizen Username: Eliz Post Number: 652 Registered: 5-2001 Posted on Tuesday, January 6, 2004 - 12:41 pm:        Top 5 - (although there are very few places that I haven't liked except Jakarta) 1.

My wife (then my fiancee) told me we were renting bicycles. Took me a minute to realize she was serious. She's pretty adventurous. So it was hot, and we were tired and hungry one day, after pedalling all around, and we stopped at a gas station in the middle of the city, because we saw they were selling sandwiches. I suppose it was more our fatigue, but they really seemed to be the best tuna sandwiches we had ever had. The folks were awfully nice, too. We kept trying to speak in French, and they kept replying to us in English. Comical! I haven't travelled much out of the country, making my list small. I had a good time everywhere. Been to Edinburgh twice and liked that a lot.

OK, I've really only been to about 5 cities there but they all top my list (Segovia, Madrid, Trujillo, Guadalupe, Caceras). I've been to a lot of other places since my trip there 10 years ago, and nothing beats it!!!!
