Favourite city?

So, what is your favourite city in the world and why? I'm a big fan of exploring sprawling cities and metropolises when I am on my travels and am lucky enough to have been to a fair few over the last ten years or so.

For me....

1 Lisbon great working city. Nightlife and the people, love it there.
2 Florence, stunning place, stunning women
3 Paris, beautiful big city, - its very expensive
4 Amsterdam, great party city.............

Sydney. My son is named after it (although it was also my Dads middle name as well). Probably helped by getting engaged there and when working there being put up in a 5* hotel right in the centre.

But Joking aside my favourite city that I have been to is Rome, the Trevi Fountain, Spanish Steps, Piazza Navona and the Colosseum, St Peters Square (The Statue of David and the Cisteen Chapel) With the bonus of climbing Mount Vesuvius and seeing Pompeii and Herculaneum which are not too far away as well as the Amalfi Coast. We Stayed in Sorrento

And a boat trip to Capri Awesome

Granada especially the Alhambra Palace - I've been there 15 times - I found it very Moorish
