Depends. Do you want British, European or worldwide cities?

  1. Dublin, Bath, Birmingham.
  2. Paris, Barcelona, Athens.
  3. Oslo, New York, Johannesburg.

But.... are you looking for relaxation, great food, sightseeing, theatre, natural beauty, film locations, sites of special scientific interest? Sunshine or celebrities?

Barcelona - been there half a dozen times and never tire of it
Rome - for the history, glamour and food
Amsterdam - compact, pretty and lots to do.

Italy is great with teens as they get in free to so many things and there are lots of places to eat to suit their palates.

Going to Berlin and Prague this year and have high hopes!

The numbers don't correspond to British, European or worldwide do they? For a moment I thought they did but now I don't know what they correspond to.

Berlin is definitely a favourite. What a cool place and so much interesting history and great food. I also love Barcelona - beautiful architecture and markets. I'm not really a fan of Paris but Amsterdam is quite cool too. I enjoyed Vienna too.
