Favorite City ( Archived) (80)

I really disagree. You obviously are not an art lover. The museums in London are fantastic and all of them are free!!! Also, the parks are beautiful. And just outside London are long walks to take along the Thames, in and out of what used to be villages and are not suburbs, Kew Gardens, and there is a lot more. It is expensive, possibly the most expensive city in the EU, but, wow, it is a great place. And I've traveled a bit, 30+ countries, 4 continents....I guess it just depends on what you're looking for.

Istanbul is amazing a real East meets West , the architecture and history is fascinating. The people , food night life brilliant

Hey gangel

There isnt much that is free in london, you must have visited when they did a freebie, though some ask for a voluntary donation.

Kew Gardens is nice, but its not in London, well london i mean as the city of london.London covers a huge sprawling area.

The natural history museum is wonderful, as are some of the others and as for art its ironic as i sell it!!

There's plenty of galleries, Like the tate or the tate modern and i recommend the South bank as an area to hang out on a sunday or saturday when the weathers nice.

Theres lots to do and see in london, though when you live here everywhere its an exersise to empty your pockets at premium for the lowest standard thats possible.

I lost count of how many countries i have visited, but ive travelled all over the globe, though havent made it to Australia or NZ yet.One day ill have to try to list them all, but they must include every country in asia,lots in south america, africa and europe of course.

I did remember the temperature difference in one day from 38 degrees to minus 20 degrees within 12 hours!!!

Nowadays i move less and see more at a comfy pace!

I like visiting new places and have a plan for Xmas for me and cpl of othe people later in the year if my plans go ok!

Yes i agree, though i wouldn't want to be there if there was a football match on!

- London!

- San Francisco! (was there during the quake) (no, not the one in 1906)

- Stockholm!

Know them all well from having lived there. Have seen quite a few places so far, yes... love traveling!

I've been to London about 5 or 6 times in the past few years; the museums are always free, the National Gallery, the Tate, the British Museum, all. They do ask for a donation, yes, and I give something usually, but it isn't required, whereas museums in other big and small European cities and in America are really quite expensive. I only said how many countries I've been to because you said anyone who liked London must not have traveled much and I disagree. I didn't really spend any more money in London than I do anywhere else, I'm a budget traveler, and if you don't mind very small hotel rooms, you can go to London on a budget--anyway, it is a great city and had a great history--maybe it's just too close to home for you to appreciate.

maybe not, was 2 sides to that tho (as Always)

until now Marrakech.
