Eco Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 I have been to all except Auckland. Good picks there, although I've always said Copenhagen is my #1, followed by Vancouver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder what it came in this Mercer list thing. It said only two cities outside Europe placed in the top 40 Vancouver and Auckland. So I guess below 40.

First of all it's a beautiful city. We have a good public transportation system, one of the biggest Airports of Germany, some of the finest Restaurants of the country and of course the fancy pants "Königsallee" which is a street with many shopping opportunities, where some of the most famous designers and brands have their stores. Not my cup of tea, but interesting nontheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Stan Posted March 16, 2019 Administrator Share Posted March 16, 2019 The European ones only have old buildings so they're not that great and all the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly mate that aspect of Europe is the envy of the rest of the world. The history just emanates into the soul as you explore those places.

The envy is the discipline, order and stability you guys have plus the marketing that is done of European history through media, video games movies etc. There are great places to see outside of Europe that have far older and richer history that have unfortunately been bombed like Syria, Iraq and most of Middle East or they have been designated as not safe places to visit like Iran etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rafa Beneathus Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Depressingly never been to any of them. Switzerland is definitely somewhere I hope to go to soon. Got 2 weeks off work in September and going to go to a few European cities. Planning on the Dam for a couple of days to start and then might just book up the others from there.

Liveable doesn't mean that much for a tourist tbh tho mate. Quality of healthcare education and even public transport isn't that relevant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of the top 10, I've only been to Copenhagen. Really liked the place myself, though it was pricey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should probably qualify my statement by saying, I was bored in Switzerland as a tourist... with my family as a kid. So it didn't seem all that fun to me. It's a very pretty place though, but it wasn't as cool as other trips I'd been on with my family to France and Italy - not really sure why and it could be because I was a kid and didn't really fully appreciate the country.

Fair enough... Frankly, the only issue I see with Switzerland is how expensive it is Other than that, I think it's a great country to visit.
