Istanbul. Incredible food, friendly people, and if you like history in any capacity, you've got virtually every important time period from the past 5000 years represented somewhere in the city.
There are still plenty of places in Prague that aren’t overcrowded. Just a few minutes from Charles Bridge, for example, is the Clam-Gallas Palace, which I highly recommend. Other great options in the city center include museums like the House at the Golden Ring (Dům U Zlatého prstenu).
You can also enjoy a quiet visit to one of Prague’s many towers — Henry’s Tower, for instance. After all, Prague is known as the City of a Hundred Spires, so exploring a few of them is a great idea. Some even hide unique gems inside, like the Prague Towers Museum.
Just step a little off the main tourist path, and you’ll discover a much calmer and more authentic side of Prague.
Funny enough, the best food I had in Edinburgh was a back-alley Shwarma spot... Incredible city, but the traditional Scottish pallette isn't the best (besides breakfast).
Whoa, very pleasantly surprised to see this as the top answer.
I spent a weekend there when I was studying in England and I think we all kind of agreed it was a great place. London and Paris are of course must sees, but we all talked about how much we loved Edinburgh.
Literally all you have to do is say “bonjour” when you walk in and “au revoir” when you walk out and they won’t treat you like a rude American. Why people can’t figure that out is beyond me.
That was not at all my experience in Paris in 1990. I was with someone who spoke fluent French, but with a heavy southern American accent, and most people treated us like we had the plague.
You didn't do what I described so of course your experience was different. You can't be both fluent in French and speak it with a heavy southern American accent. It just doesn't work that way in any language. It's not about speaking French, it's about observing the most basic standards of French politeness, which are different from American standards because it's a different country.
Your friend didn't just say "bonjour" and "au revoir" with the occasional "Je ne comprende pas, parlez-vous anglais?" to admit that they didn't really speak French to any reasonable degree, so they treated you like American buffoons because that's what you were being.
"bonjour" and "au revoir" with the occasional "Parlez-vous anglais?"
If I ever go there I'll do that, but I'm just gonna swagger around like John Wayne in a John Wayne movie. I might even get a cowboy hat and a bolo tie just for my trip. If they don't like it, toooooo bad!
Funnily enough, I was in Paris when I was 13 and one morning we went out and the newspapers all had giant front page headlines that said "John Wayne est mort." I think his death was bigger news in France than the US.
I think the problem might be that some people speak proper french so they think they'll be understood. But the accent makes it very hard to understand. I've experienced it.
No. I don't think Parisians are particularly warm and friendly, but I'd never call them rude. I've met more outright rude people in Melbourne, Miami, and, heck, even Louisville and Dayton for whatever reason than I have in Paris.
Parisians are no more rude than New Yorkers or Bostonians. It's a big city, they're busy, and you're in the way gawking while they're trying to get to work (or lunch, because it's France).
And French manners are more formal than American. You always must start with a "Bonjour". If you just launch into a screed (especially in English), they get annoyed because you're being rude.
Paris was one of the kinder cities I’ve ever visited.
I mean, I’m from Boston - so my standards of “rude” might be a little skewed compared to the average traveler.
Still, people were friendly, bought us drinks, shared local recommendations, shared stories, and genuinely seemed curious and open.
Also, the customer and restaurant service in Paris is miles (kilometers) ahead of most places in Europe. It felt on par with what I’d expect back home in terms of attentiveness and timing - way better than anything I experienced in Spain, Germany, Italy or the British Isles.
And because Paris is so huge, you can tailor your trip to your exact interests. For example, if you're a metalhead, there are tons of shows, specialty shops, historic spots, and local scenes that cater exactly to that.
Great city. One of my favorites. And I didn't expect it to be going in.
I went in 97 with a large group for a leg of our summer semester in Europe
It was our last city before heading back to the states. With the exception of one cab driver, we were pleasantly surprised at how kind everyone was to us.
Honestly, it was a stark contrast to London where, although we met mostly kind people, we met a lot of downright rude and condescending people. Had we been being stereotypical loud, obnoxious Americans at these times, I would've understood, but it was almost always for pretty much no reason at all. Some of the nicest people we encountered in London were Scottish and Irish.
Anyway, Paris and the other places in France we visited were absolutely stunning.
I speak French. I’ve been to Paris a dozen times, usually on business. I think the reputation comes from loud and demanding American tourists. If you’re impolite to people, it’s not surprising that people will be impolite in return. It’s a major city.
I just scrolled the entire thread and didn’t see that post. I’ve witnessed lots of American buffoons but none of them spoke more than a dozen words of any other language.
I didn’t think the French were rude at all. I mean.. it’s a large city and maybe I’m jaded living in Philadelphia but I thought they were quite pleasant.
I experienced the opposite of that somehow and let my expections fall. I experienced that with London when I felt it was a great city but felt a lot like NYC but more expensive with worse weather.
Tokyo. There is a ton to do and see there. The food is amazing. Their mass transit is easy to navigate (color coded and numbered) and reasonably priced. The biggest thing, while its extremely crowded, I never feel crowded there.
NYC, parts of Vegas, just about any large airport, pretty much wherever there's big crowds. In Japan the big crowds don't really bother me so much, its the body language I think.
I spent a week there in 2008, lovely town. I remember walking the Hauptstrasse, hiking the Philosophers' Walk to the monastery ruins and the Thingstätte, dipping my feet in the Neckar, and visiting the castle.
Spouse has been to way more places than I have because of work. Spouse used to adore Hong Kong, but not so much anymore, which pushed Halifax into the top spot.
When they said outside of America, I was thinking Canada included as its North America. But then again I’ve lived abroad so I’m used to specifically saying US .
That would be a very strange inclusion. They would have said "outside North America" if that's what they meant. Nice humble brag about living abroad /s. Canadians never refer to themselves as Americans, or part of America. Dual citizens being an obvious exception.
I go to Montreal relatively often (at least once every couple years or so), I have family roots in Montreal, I've been everywhere in the CMA, I've been to Montreal during all four seasons. Given how far west I live, Montreal kind of stands out in how often I'm there....
It's a cool city, it offers a lot, there's some great things to check out, and it's affordable. BUT I'd take the geography of virtually any western city over Montreal's any day of the week and it's not even close. Calgary even has a nicer, more aesthetic geography. I think the cultural component every raves about is very over rated - once you get past the Francophone factor it's basically like an ethnically divided city, and it has like a rust belt undertone that sometimes I kind of find depressing - although mostly just in the winter.
I'm not saying I dislike Montreal by any means. I actually quite like Montreal. I think it's a cool area, and I've grown well acquainted with the city. I even cheer for the Habs when the Flames are out. But I don't understand the hype - I feel the city is quite over hyped. In all honesty I even found Chicago more lively than Montreal.
I will say strolls up Mount Royal during the Fall are amazing. I love hiking up that hill looking over the city when the colours are bustling.
One of my wife and my favorite memories is sitting on top of the auberge du vieux port along the St Lawrence River late at night and eating croissant sandwiches that the chef postponed his late night clean up and made for us because we didn't realize it was a national holiday and everything was closed and we were starving.

Vienna! So safe, so clean, not too expensive, SO many things to do, so easy to get around. Especially for someone who likes European art / architecture/ classical music
I liked Utrecht much better than Amsterdam personally, I got the recommendation from a local that I ran into on a train to Austria, I am very glad for that recommendation as I liked that town much better, they explained it as being more like Amsterdam used to be
Was not expecting to see this answer. But this is my favorite as well. I spent a long weekend there when I was studying abroad in 2010, and it was the only place I’ve ever visited where I immediately felt like I was home.
I had so much fun there! Taaffe’s Bar is like a home base for my family and me. We tried to expand our horizons with places to have a drink or two, but we ended up there on the nights we were there😂😂😂
Amsterdam. You can walk everywhere, very picturesque, museums, Heineken, Van Gogh, canals, beautiful buildings, good food, good transportation, and bonus, since very few people speak Dutch, mose Dutch citizens speak English…good if you need directions.
A lot of people in this thread voted for Tokyo which, having not been there, surprised me a bit, and maybe changed my perception of it being just another sprawling and overcrowded city.
It's not sprawling in any way that can be meaningfully compared to American cities imo, it's just huge. I feel like sprawling denotes a waste of space, which is something the Japanese don't really do
But being there was life changing. I feel like it's a city designed for actual people, not just to cater to the automobile or whatever. I felt safe the entire 2 weeks, never felt uncomfortable or unsafe once (I am a man, but my girlfriend felt the same way tbf).
Yes there's a lot of people, it's somewhat crowded. Doesn't bother me, the crazy tourist destinations are a bit annoying but the places people actually live are fine because everyone is just minding their own business doing what they need to do
I’m traveling to Italy and everything is like $40 for international driving permit, $10/day for cell service which we need for reasons related to work, $passport and now there’s a travel visa too. Wow it really adds up fast.
Edinburgh. Fell in love instantly. Now my wife regularly mentions that she wants to buy a home there (never mind how complicated that actually would be in practice). It's the only city we've ever been to that we completely agree on.
I was there last year and while it was perfectly fine, I didn’t think it was quite remarkable. Just curious why you say Luxembourg and what made it great for you.
I would not have been able to cross the street without a guide. We got married there and then came back a couple years later for a big holiday called ganpatti(Ganesha) and danced in the streets. A parade on the last day passes my wife’s building and it felt like millions of people were in the 16 hour procession.
The other parts of India we went to were also pretty cool.
A lot of great cities mentioned. I don't consider myself a world traveler but been to a lot of places. My first thought though was a city that is no more. Lhasa, Tibet though Google will say Lhasa, China now. I went there in 1986 and it was incredibly beautiful and the people were amazing. China was just starting their forced integration and our Chinese guide wouldn't leave hotel due to hostility by Tibetans. Our other guide was awesome and the week that we were there and seeing all the cultural and historical sites are unforgettable. I can't even imagine what it's like now and would be heartbroken I am sure what it has become now.
Tokyo. Lived there for quite a while. It will always hold a special place in my heart. From the craziness of Shinjuku station to the quiet back streets near Nakano.
London. I don’t know that I could deal with the dreary English weather, but London is just such a cool city full of modern day, excitement and cool history
Hiroshima. Such a beautiful place and of course, being right near miyajima island doesn’t diminish beauty at all. I never spent as much time as I would like there outside of the tourist destinations, but it just strikes me as a generally nice place. It’s a city without being too big and crazy like Tokyo and Osaka, but not quite as sleepy as Kyoto.
54% of adults in the US read at or below a 6th grade reading level. 19 to 21% have difficulty completing low level tasks. Reading scores are lowest in the south/south west regions. Texas ranks 46th out of 50 but don't worry our governor will make those numbers worse.
In spite of all the recent handwringing over slipping scores, the US school system generally does a very good job at teaching reading/literacy. If you look at our most recent PISA scores for reading, we're a bit higher than Denmark and in the top 10 overall.
It's also worth noting that a lot of the countries that tend to dominate the PISA basically force underperforming students into vocational tracks early on so that they aren't counted in the assessments. The U.S. scores high in spite of the fact that we take things very far in the other direction and have a "no child left behind" policy.
Mexico City. The vibe, culture and history is incredibly rich there. The food alone is the best reason to visits Everything from fine dining to someone selling tortillas out of their car’s trunk was incredibly delicious.
My dad spent all his summers as a kid up there because his grandparents had a cottage on Healey Lake so he took us up there a lot for family vacations when I was a kid.
I love Paris! It’s full of history and really good food and wine. I never ran into any of the rude people that are always mentioned. I’m going back in June.
Montréal, by far. It's cosmopolitan (if you listen you can hear the two different accents of Quebecois and French ex pats), the food is fantastic, the mass transit is easy to use, and the people are friendly.
Reykjavík was absolutely beautiful when I was there. It’s been a few years though. Montreal is always a fun time too. Growing up in NY it was always crazy to my that someplace so close could be so distinctly different culturally.
There are plenty I’ve still yet to visit, but I’ve found London to be my favorite so far. Equal cultural differences and cultural similarities makes it feel pretty welcoming to Americans while also being different enough to make it exciting.
Clean, friendly, beautiful, fun, and - when I visited wonderful - weather. Several amazing museums, including a maritime museum that was fascinating.
When I went, the city even had an all access pass that got you on all buses and into all museums for one low price. It simplified everything to not even have to worry about paying for anything. Once you purchase the pass it made the whole city one giant visitors’ stop.
We lived there for a couple years when I was a kid. Just haven't had the opportunity yet to go back as an adult. Beautiful country, we did some traveling while we were there.
I studied a semester abroad in France as part of my French major. Apparently being able to speak the language, or least making an effort, goes a long way toward being accepted by Parisians, and the French in general. It's a fabulous city and my favorite of all the foreign ones I visited.
On the flip side, I was able to stay in Bruges until it shut down with plenty of time to get back to Brusells where my hotel was. But, yeah, not a town that stays open late.
Sitges, Spain (where I got married!) or Montpellier, France. Both beautiful little gems. I’m not a big city girl so I love finding a smaller place that’s more relaxed.
I used to go to Tel Aviv a couple of times per year for work, and I freaking loved it. I understand things have changed a bit over the past couple of years, but it was amazing 15 years ago.
Honorable mentions: Edinburgh, Prague, Montreal. I haven't been to Asia yet, so I'm sure I'll find something awesome.
It's a misconception that Americans can't go to Cuba. We can't go as "tourists" but other than not being able to go to beaches and a restriction on what hotels you can stay at (and a few other things)--because of American laws, not Cuban ones, Cuba doesn't care what you do there, you can do most things in Havana including going to museums and other cultural sites. Per American law, you have to keep records of what you did there for something like 7 years afterwards though no one will ask you for them. We were lucky enough to go during the few years when Americans were going to Cuba en masse via cruise ship, but Trump put an end to that back in 2019 I believe.
I liked it probably because it was unlike any other place I'd been--seeing how the "enemy" lived if that makes sense, just experiencing that culture, experiencing what was off limits to us for so long, buying Cuban rum, etc. I would have liked to have spent more time there, but since it was a cruise and I believe we had to be on official cruise ship excursions there due to American laws, we only had a limited time. After the excursion, we did have a couple of hours to explore on our own, but not enough to explore as much as I would have liked. Still, it was enough for me to confidently recommend Havana to anyone looking for someplace to go.
I was stationed in Berlin for three years, and I loved everything except the weather (too many cold, cloudy days). I visited London a couple of times, and I really loved all of the historical sites and buildings.
Sadly I’ve only traveled to Canada and Mexico (I’m 23 and broke and my parents never took me anywhere) but of the cities I’ve been to I would probably say Vancouver and Victoria in Canada were my favorites.
St. Petersburg, Russia. I studied there years ago and fell in love with the city. I'd love to go back, but sadly it's not the best time for an American to visit Russia.
Went there for 3 days on a visa-free tour a few years ago, and had a great time. Been looking forward to revisiting, but unfortunately, I don’t think it’s possible to do so anytime soon.
Montreal? Great city if you love hockey and even soccer. If you love culture, plenty of it to go around. It's like an American city crossed with a European city, complete with a foreign language.
Athens? A large European city with ancient ruins in the cradle of Western civilization. Can't go wrong there.
Merida? The oldest capital city in North America, so much so that it feels like you're walking around in Spain. But you can get real Mexican food.
So far, Montreal. In particular, I liked walking around the streets of Old Montreal and I enjoyed my time at the Biodome. Also the first place I had poutine was at an Asian restaurant, funnily enough
It’s not the coolest or most advanced city in Korea, but it’s the perfect balance of town and city with great access to a lot of the most beautiful parts of the country
I’ve not been to many but I stayed in Greystones, Ireland, for a month in college. Quaint little seaside town. I think that would be my favorite. Not really a city, I suppose, though. I loved Dublin and Galway too though!
Montreal we spent a lot of time there when our kids were playing hockey. But I reserve the right to change my mind when we eventually fo to Ireland and Scotland.
I spent my JYA in England and loved every city I visited there, but my favorites were probably York, Beverly, and Haworth (not sure if that's considered a city).
Tough question. Rio is amazing, but I loved so many places in Japan; Osaka and Kyoto are definitely in the running. Paris isn’t, sad to say. I wanted to like it more than I did. I think staying outside the tourist area may have been a mistake.
London. Hands down. If I could possibly swing moving there, I would. From the first time I stepped into the city in 1991, every time I've gone thereafter. It feels like home in a way nowhere else ever has.
Sapporo, I've been there on three different trips now in three different seasons. I like most parts of Japan, but Hokkaido is something extra special. My favorite town is at the other end of Japan, Ibusuki had an amazing natural beauty and the friendliest local people I've ever met.
Kyoto, Japan. Just gorgeous, and there was so much history mixed right in with modern. I loved the feel of the city and would have loved to spend more than 3 days there.
Mexico City without a doubt. It's like all the best parts of Los Angeles without needing a car to drive everywhere, and also significantly cheaper for those who get paid in USD. I can't wait to go back some day. (I've only been to countries in the western hemisphere)
I’ve had great experiences in Überlin and Madrid for big cities. Some smaller places that are pretty great are Bruges, Galway, and Munich. for tiny places there is nothing better than Wengen.
My favorite food in the world. Did you get a chance to go to a tea house in a park? First time we went to one of those i decided i wanted to retire there 🤣. (This was before the US/China relationship went totally sideways)
Prague, beyond a shadow of a doubt. I haven't traveled super extensively, but have been to 6 European countries, Canada, Mexico, and several Caribbean countries. Prague was a clear standout for me.
Dublin, but I was there in 2021 after the covid lifted and before they had their current immigration crisis. Hope they figure it out, lot of very friendly local people with a strong understanding of the Irish diaspora.
Hard to narrow down to just 1, so I'll say of the cities I've been to abroad my collection of favorites are: Glasgow, Kralendijk, Amsterdam and Buenos Aires.
Considering I thought it changed A LOT in between my two visits in 2018 and 2025, I'm going to go out on a limb and say that it would be unrecognizable to you.
Dublin. Then Amsterdam and Krakow. I make it a point to go to Dublin for at least a couple days every time I’m in Europe. If I were to ever leave the US that’s where I’d go.
I absolutely love Mexico City. We stayed for ten days and I was ready to stay for ten more. There’s just so much to do and see. Great food and nice people!
Amsterdam. I grew up in Amsterdam. At this point I consider myself a small town American through and through (I hunt, I wear camo, I hate big cities, Europeans get on my nerves, I think Spanish siestas are stupid, etc,etc (im half joking)) but every time I’m in Amsterdam, I feel at home. I immediately see that some “quirks” of my personality (the honesty and directness) are literally just because of my Dutch-ness.
Oh god. So many. Can't choose one so here is a first place tie list....
Singapore - Coolest/Most futuristic
Istanbul- Confluence of 2 continents/cultures and cool to see somewhere "second world"
Tokyo- Clean/Efficient/Endless stuff to do
Sorrento - best Italian food /ambiance (ymmv)
Interlaken & surrounding area- best Scenery
Copenhagen- Place Id be most comfortable living
You know what? I’ve been to Paris once in 1999 and found that to be true as well. I’d been warned about how Parisians were super rude but my sister had just gotten her BA in French and my HS French was still fresh so we had no problem with the people or the language. And no one was rude to us.
Ewok tree village on Endor (minus the Ewoks, but let's not talk about how that happens) is my backup answer. I'm swinging on vines and vibes from shop to shop, MFer's!
Tokyo. Thanks to the train system, getting around is easy and cheap. Not to mention the amazing sights. You can visit an ancient temple, and two blocks away get lunch served by a robot!
One of mine too. I spent a summer there in '83 with a host family while enrolled in a high school French immersion program. A bunch of us had a special night on the Plains of Abraham. I remember it from more than 40 years ago.

I just scrolled the entire thread and didn’t see that post. I’ve witnessed lots of American buffoons but none of them spoke more than a dozen words of any other language.

NYC, parts of Vegas, just about any large airport, pretty much wherever there's big crowds. In Japan the big crowds don't really bother me so much, its the body language I think.

When they said outside of America, I was thinking Canada included as its North America. But then again I’ve lived abroad so I’m used to specifically saying US .

That would be a very strange inclusion. They would have said "outside North America" if that's what they meant. Nice humble brag about living abroad /s. Canadians never refer to themselves as Americans, or part of America. Dual citizens being an obvious exception.

And a little piece of your arteries get clogged by poutine consumed at 3 a.m. at a diner on some random corner of the city. The best.
TheLastRulerofMerv@reddit
OK I'll offer a contrarian point of view here.
I go to Montreal relatively often (at least once every couple years or so), I have family roots in Montreal, I've been everywhere in the CMA, I've been to Montreal during all four seasons. Given how far west I live, Montreal kind of stands out in how often I'm there....
It's a cool city, it offers a lot, there's some great things to check out, and it's affordable. BUT I'd take the geography of virtually any western city over Montreal's any day of the week and it's not even close. Calgary even has a nicer, more aesthetic geography. I think the cultural component every raves about is very over rated - once you get past the Francophone factor it's basically like an ethnically divided city, and it has like a rust belt undertone that sometimes I kind of find depressing - although mostly just in the winter.
I'm not saying I dislike Montreal by any means. I actually quite like Montreal. I think it's a cool area, and I've grown well acquainted with the city. I even cheer for the Habs when the Flames are out. But I don't understand the hype - I feel the city is quite over hyped. In all honesty I even found Chicago more lively than Montreal.
I will say strolls up Mount Royal during the Fall are amazing. I love hiking up that hill looking over the city when the colours are bustling.
tuberlord@reddit
Montreal is the best mixture of high and low culture I've ever seen. If I didn't live on the West coast I'd be there a lot more frequently.

Ill-Construction-209@reddit
A lot of people in this thread voted for Tokyo which, having not been there, surprised me a bit, and maybe changed my perception of it being just another sprawling and overcrowded city.
Eubank31@reddit
It's not sprawling in any way that can be meaningfully compared to American cities imo, it's just huge. I feel like sprawling denotes a waste of space, which is something the Japanese don't really do
But being there was life changing. I feel like it's a city designed for actual people, not just to cater to the automobile or whatever. I felt safe the entire 2 weeks, never felt uncomfortable or unsafe once (I am a man, but my girlfriend felt the same way tbf).
Yes there's a lot of people, it's somewhat crowded. Doesn't bother me, the crazy tourist destinations are a bit annoying but the places people actually live are fine because everyone is just minding their own business doing what they need to do

I would not have been able to cross the street without a guide. We got married there and then came back a couple years later for a big holiday called ganpatti(Ganesha) and danced in the streets.

Lhasa, Tibet though Google will say Lhasa, China now. I went there in 1986 and it was incredibly beautiful and the people were amazing. China was just starting their forced integration and our Chinese guide wouldn't leave hotel due to hostility by Tibetans. Our other guide was awesome and the week that we were there and seeing all the cultural and historical sites are unforgettable. I can't even imagine what it's like now and would be heartbroken I am sure what it has become now.

linds3ybinds3y@reddit
In spite of all the recent handwringing over slipping scores, the US school system generally does a very good job at teaching reading/literacy. If you look at our most recent PISA scores for reading, we're a bit higher than Denmark and in the top 10 overall.
It's also worth noting that a lot of the countries that tend to dominate the PISA basically force underperforming students into vocational tracks early on so that they aren't counted in the assessments. The U.S. scores high in spite of the fact that we take things very far in the other direction and have a "no child left behind" policy.

Clean, friendly, beautiful, fun, and - when I visited wonderful - weather. Several amazing museums, including a maritime museum that was fascinating.
When I went, the city even had an all access pass that got you on all buses and into all museums for one low price. It simplified everything to not even have to worry about paying for anything. Once you purchase the pass it made the whole city one giant visitors’ stop.

lefindecheri@reddit
I studied a semester abroad in France as part of my French major. Apparently being able to speak the language, or least making an effort, goes a long way toward being accepted by Parisians, and the French in general. It's a fabulous city and my favorite of all the foreign ones I visited.

Yeah, my French is rusty, but it did seem to help. And I was able to have conversations, so I guess it wasn't as bad as I thought.

Bruges is so great. My only complaint is how early the town shuts down.

Ill-Construction-209@reddit
How do you get to Havana as an American, and why did you like it?
Infamous_Possum2479@reddit
It's a misconception that Americans can't go to Cuba. We can't go as "tourists" but other than not being able to go to beaches and a restriction on what hotels you can stay at (and a few other things)--because of American laws, not Cuban ones, Cuba doesn't care what you do there, you can do most things in Havana including going to museums and other cultural sites. Per American law, you have to keep records of what you did there for something like 7 years afterwards though no one will ask you for them. We were lucky enough to go during the few years when Americans were going to Cuba en masse via cruise ship, but Trump put an end to that back in 2019 I believe.
I liked it probably because it was unlike any other place I'd been--seeing how the "enemy" lived if that makes sense, just experiencing that culture, experiencing what was off limits to us for so long, buying Cuban rum, etc. I would have liked to have spent more time there, but since it was a cruise and I believe we had to be on official cruise ship excursions there due to American laws, we only had a limited time. After the excursion, we did have a couple of hours to explore on our own, but not enough to explore as much as I would have liked. Still, it was enough for me to confidently recommend Havana to anyone looking for someplace to go.

Can't really pick one.
Montreal? Great city if you love hockey and even soccer. If you love culture, plenty of it to go around. It's like an American city crossed with a European city, complete with a foreign language.
Athens? A large European city with ancient ruins in the cradle of Western civilization. Can't go wrong there.
Merida? The oldest capital city in North America, so much so that it feels like you're walking around in Spain. But you can get real Mexican food.

I want to go so bad. Huge into szechuan food. Also I've heard it's got a cool techno scene.
boylemedia@reddit
It’s just a really chill, interesting city in general, but yeah i bet they have a good music scene.
ClemofNazareth@reddit
Was there for the first time in April. Great city with a lot of fun people and excellent food! Also the Sanxingdui Museum was amazing!
boylemedia@reddit
My favorite food in the world. Did you get a chance to go to a tea house in a park? First time we went to one of those i decided i wanted to retire there 🤣. (This was before the US/China relationship went totally sideways)
ClemofNazareth@reddit
We did do a tea house in a beautiful park near the river downtown. Skipped the tuning fork on the skull thing though, that was too weird.

Amsterdam. I grew up in Amsterdam. At this point I consider myself a small town American through and through (I hunt, I wear camo, I hate big cities, Europeans get on my nerves, I think Spanish siestas are stupid, etc,etc (im half joking)) but every time I’m in Amsterdam, I feel at home. I immediately see that some “quirks” of my personality (the honesty and directness) are literally just because of my Dutch-ness.

Initially I would’ve said Singapore but having spent more than 3 days there, it has dropped on my list.
So I guess it’s a tie between Paris-Singapore-Rome, and in the USA but feeling as if it were outside, Captain Cook, Hawaii.

Hong Kong. It's hard to describe but it's incredible

Definetly Paris because of one thing in particular, the chocolate desserts and that everything tastes homemade.

Singapore - Coolest/Most futuristic Istanbul- Confluence of 2 continents/cultures and cool to see somewhere "second world" Tokyo- Clean/Efficient/Endless stuff to do Sorrento - best Italian food /ambiance (ymmv) Interlaken & surrounding area- best Scenery Copenhagen- Place Id be most comfortable living

Paris. All you have to do is make an effort to speak French, and they are the most delightful people in the world.

You know what? I’ve been to Paris once in 1999 and found that to be true as well. I’d been warned about how Parisians were super rude but my sister had just gotten her BA in French and my HS French was still fresh so we had no problem with the people or the language. And no one was rude to us.
