I don't really care much for the big cities, to be honest. Sure, most of them usually have quite a few things worth seeing and the ones with good nightlife are fine for a couple of nights for that reason alone, but other than that, I quickly find them too crowded and mostly tiresome. Have no interest in stores and shopping malls, little interest in art galleries and museums bar few exceptions. Instead give me a mid-sized town with more natural surroundings and options for outdoor activities, some good dining options and a few decent pubs in it, and I'm golden
