What’s your favourite European city to visit?

[Gallep]

Just to walk around, take in some nice sights and eat/drink.

I really enjoy Antwerp and Dinant. I find Belgians really friendly and easy to talk to.

Venice by a very long mile but have only visited outside the tourist season. Its especially magical at Christmas when all the shop windows are dressed. Italian window dressing is wonderful. I always felt safe there even at night in the narrowest alleys.

Also love Prague and Brussels. People say Belgium is boring but I don't agree. Brussels is a wonderful city for antiquing.

I don't think anywhere can really beat Rome for history.

I don't think these have been mentioned yet:
Hamburg
Freiburg
Dordrecht (I think it's even nicer than Leiden)

I've only been there once but I loved Bruges.

And Lund

Not one of my absolute favourites but somewhat off the radar - Brescia. About as close to Lake Garda as Verona is, and worth visiting.

I haven't been to many European cities. We aren't big city break people. But of those I have been to I really liked Venice and Palma (Mallorca).

Berlin and Vienna I would repeat visit anytime

Have to try Ghent now after reading this thread!

Paris, I go back there as often as I can.
Valencia is relaxing but still loads to do.
Malaga was fantastic really buzzy and great food.
Verona I will be going back to. Easy to walk and travel and had an amazing couple of trips to Lake Garda.
Rome is iconic. It’s utterly soaked in history.

Seville and Florence are next on my list.

Reims

Have done lots of these. Seville is my favourite. Tromso a close second in the winter.

London. It’s the world’s greatest city by a mile.

Apart from that, I like Munich, Donostia / San Sebastián & Sevilla (but not in summer, obv.)

Thank you - I’m from Brussels although now living in Canada. My DD and DSis live in Brussels and my parents spend most of their time at their home on the Belgian coast.

Lisbon and Cologne. Both so easy to get around, full of great shops and food

Treviso.....i've lived in Florence for 35 years & visited many cities but Treviso is something else

Love Napoli too. I was unsure at first but gradually grew to love it as time went on and miss it dearly, would definitely go back in a flash.

Krakow is my favourite. I’ve hands down never felt as safe anywhere on earth as a solo female.

Tbilisi.

Fabulous place.

I can’t pick as I like lots but in different ways - we lived in Copenhagen for 20 months so will always have a soft spot for it - loved Rome , Stockholm, Malmo, Malaga, Palma, Amsterdam, The Hague, Utrecht, Florence, Vienna, Munich - love London too -and as a real outlier I really really like Dusseldorf- fantastic upmarket shopping but lots of hipster funky stuff too , superb outdoor food market and outstanding oriental food ( biggest Japanese population in Europe- but lots of Chinese, Korean, Thai etc too)
