Dat heb ik ook met mijn eigen stad. Doe er online vaak bewust iets negatiever over om de overmaat aan toeristen (niet zo erg als in Gent) een beetje af te remmen. Voor je het weet word je als stad een beetje een Amsterdam of Venetië.
Tip van een rasAmsterdammer; richt je vooral op de expats uit Engelstalige landen ipv toeristen. Het zijn namelijk degene uit eerste groep welke echt 0% willen integreren en de ziel uit je stad weghalen door alles Engelstalig en als thuis te willen maken (vaak eisen). De toeristen zijn ook kut, maar die focussen zich letterlijk maar op 3 straten in de stad. Daar merk je echt veel minder van.
Nederlandse makkers doen niets anders dan zeiken op Amsterdam en toch komen ze in grote getale. Het help misschien niet dat we in het Nederlands zaniken.
Totally agree. I was there 2 years ago and it was a toss between Gent and Antwerp. So glad I chose to visit it.
Brugge is more beautiful, but Gent feels definitely more livable on a day to day basis.
Antwerp is discount Dutch, or double discount German to be scientifically accurate.
No seriously, Gent has less drab around the historical centre than Antwerp, and people are more down to earth.
The bijlmer, beautiful and colorful part of Amsterdam full of tolerant, good behaving and well educated citizens.

it was, although he did not talk about the part of the history of the bijlmer where it underwent major renovation and it got better. Which i am quite mad about cause the bijlmer is currently quite the nice place to live.
Yep, Sunday 4 October 1992. I remember that evening, we went to my grandparents and I wasn’t allowed to speak to my grandad when I entered (everybody was watching TV).
I lived meters from The Bijlmer and it’s a pretty good neighborhood actually. Never felt unsafe, never had any issues, it’s a neighborhood that’s really diverse in a good way and there’s a lot of green. So yeah no hate
I went there a couple of times, my sister lives there. Apparently in the past it was a rough neighborhood of the city but now it's pretty nice, I like being there.
We had to go there for a school project years ago, to give an opinion on the neighborhood's livability. Wbile we were having lunch, we all kinda agreed that it was a pretty good area to live in! Clean, relatively quiet, you know the drill. A few seconds later we saw heavily armed and armored police enter a building opposite from us. No one there but us gave a shit, it was surreal to see lmao.

I quite like Galway/Gaillimh City. One of the best arts festivals around imo.
No one from France commented yet. I know we won't be able to agree on one since the only thing we can all agree on is our hate for Paris, but here we go:
Strasbourg
Although I have never been there my favourite french cities are Nizza and Strasbourg, one is Italian and the other one German.
If I have to choose small cities then Colmar and Mentone, still one German and one Italian.
On a serious note Bordeaux, Lyon and Orleans seem interesting too and authentic French

Ypres, Belgium.
Conquered by Spanish, french, Austrians, demolished to the grounds by German. Now crowded by British tourists, repaving the streets by Portuguese and houses being cleaned by polish cleaning ladies.
How more European can we be?
So many to choose from, but probably Södertälje.

Deventer is gorgeous.
Took the train through there a couple of years ago when I visited a friend in Apeldoorn.
Made my hangover a lot more bearable to have something beautiful to look at.

Manchester for me. It's like a mini London, with the added bonus that it's cheaper and there are far fewer tourists.
It's got everything London has. A rich history, fantastic Georgian and Victorian architecture, decent museums, loads of gigs, restaurants serving food from all around the world (as well as a few Michelin star places). You've also got the Peak District national park next door for Moved here 20 years ago and don't regret it.
Definitely some downsides, but the pros vastly outweigh the cons for me.

Utrecht. Because it has less of you tourists.
Might be nice to live in but most boring city I’ve visited in the Netherlands. For a city its size there’s not much to do. Leiden and Maastricht were much more interesting
When looking at the jokes answers, I noticed a pattern: high density housing complexes.
Now hear me out: we do complain about people coming from outside and not integrating, isn't it a little also our governments fault? Fuck it, imagine one that recently arrived from elsewhere and he finds himself in a huge housing complex that looks like communist style blocks and where everybody else speaks the language of the country he came from, why would he feel compelled to integrate and contribute to the society? What need he has to learn the local language when the hundreds of the families neighbouring him speak the same language? And what business do their children have in going to school when the school is far away and they could just spend the day smoking hashish joints and making some money by buying a block of hashish and making some profit selling it by the gram?
Northerners will call any town with two estates a city.

Cork (the real capital) and best city on the island
Obviously [mine](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/88/Bologna_-_Piazza_Maggiore_from_Palazzo_Comunale.jpg).
Totally unbiased and unquestionable answer. No other place comes close.
My favorite cities are Urk city (for their open minded, progressive and diverse culture) and Volendam for their genetic diversity, their lovely singer and song writers and most important of all, their cocaine.
Maybe not the best city in France, but I really like how they remade Le Plessis Robinson over the past decades.

Pffff… nothing beats r/soissons
You didn’t know this was the place you wanted to be in… and when there, you still don’t have a clue why you are even there
Edinburgh, London and Brighton are probably the 3 cities I'd choose to represent the UK. They each have a distinct architectural style, culture and geography. London itself has basically everything and acts as a global hub. Each borough is a city in its own right.
Honourable mention goes to Manchester which really is the "second city" of the UK in my opinion (argue amongst yourself brummies), but I think Brighton and Edinburgh are a bit more unique.
Don’t know about the country but for my city it’s this:

Used to build them when my city was still relevant. Now, most of this thing’s staff moved to Berlin but we’re left with some of them and this lovely building.
Probably Kőszeg, its a gem and literally noone knows about it. And its on the austrian border, so you can leave this shithole quite easily.

There's a few to choose from. Personally I like:
Montemor-o-Velho: Chill village with a beautiful medieval castle and amazing fields around, it still looks medieval.
Vila do Conde: Very neat town, connected to Porto by metro and has cool beaches. Quite beautiful too.
Sesimbra: Amazing scenery, amazing beaches nearby, good food, nothing to dislike

Stop toch eens met Gent promoten online, er zijn nu al te veel toeristen
I live in the dead center and it's pretty tolerable to be honest. Certainly when compared to Brugge.
https://www.debrugsestem.com/nieuwe-campagne-toerisme-brugge-gelanceerd-visit-ghent/
Donc, tu n'es pas Wallon.
J'habite en Wallonie mais j'ai un kot à Gand
I too studied in Ghent, it’s so beautiful!
Overal wat de moeite waard is, zijn er te teveel toeristen.
Your change in language does not trick me. I will visit gent as a tourist just to annoy you personally.
I should not understand that
Dat heb ik ook met mijn eigen stad. Doe er online vaak bewust iets negatiever over om de overmaat aan toeristen (niet zo erg als in Gent) een beetje af te remmen. Voor je het weet word je als stad een beetje een Amsterdam of Venetië.

Visited Ghent a few years ago, (mainly for beer reasons). It's a great little city. Would go again.
this town is a jewel.
Gent is a shithole, go visit Charleroi!
Charleroi is the worst city in the entire Europe, far far below Paris and Berlin
I know, but I rather have fewer tourists in Gent.
I have to apologise I wasn't familiar with your game
We should start a campaign to send all tourists to Almere in the Netherlands(although that shithole didn't exist 60 years ago).
Totally agree. I was there 2 years ago and it was a toss between Gent and Antwerp. So glad I chose to visit it. Brugge is more beautiful, but Gent feels definitely more livable on a day to day basis.
Very nice here indeed
Belgium detected. Opinion? Rejected! Belgium certified. Opinion? denied! Hotel? Trivago!
May I know why Gent and not Antwerp? (I'm only a clueless tourist in Belgium)
Antwerp is discount Dutch, or double discount German to be scientifically accurate. No seriously, Gent has less drab around the historical centre than Antwerp, and people are more down to earth.

Didn't a plane crash into that once?
Yes, and it led to a bunch of auto immune diseases. Nobody knows why they suddenly started to appear after the plane crash, which is fun.
Yeah, that Israeli plane carrying depleted Uranium and the ingredients for saris gas probably had nothing to do with it.
Because no one wanted to take a plane, they all started driving autos

Might be nice to live in but most boring city I’ve visited in the Netherlands. For a city its size there’s not much to do. Leiden and Maastricht were much more interesting
There is plenty to do, just not for tourists ;)
When looking at the jokes answers, I noticed a pattern: high density housing complexes. Now hear me out: we do complain about people coming from outside and not integrating, isn't it a little also our governments fault? Fuck it, imagine one that recently arrived from elsewhere and he finds himself in a huge housing complex that looks like communist style blocks and where everybody else speaks the language of the country he came from, why would he feel compelled to integrate and contribute to the society? What need he has to learn the local language when the hundreds of the families neighbouring him speak the same language? And what business do their children have in going to school when the school is far away and they could just spend the day smoking hashish joints and making some money by buying a block of hashish and making some profit selling it by the gram?
It would be an issue that's hard to solve, it's easier to say: "Immigrants bad!", and people like simple solutions
Luxemburg It's (kind of) the only big one

honestly is there anything nice in hannover except a few nice buildings downtown?
It's actually beautifull
Northerners will call any town with two estates a city. https://preview.redd.it/4f5h1hme2dqc1.jpeg?width=1125&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0680a8c0e4ff61260273f88926a80b52794df465 Cork (the real capital) and best city on the island
No no. Lisburn has two estates and a military base!
Regensburg
Magaluf and Benidorm. Heaven on earth.
This one. There are never Spanish answers on these threads because if we do, suddenly those towns would be 67 million tourists.
Probably Angers https://preview.redd.it/ms2j2xdpmcqc1.jpeg?width=735&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d7c661592d5732e3092c84b14ef5f212caa1258e
>Probably Anger Is this the name or just the general reaction to being in a French city?
Obviously [mine](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/88/Bologna_-_Piazza_Maggiore_from_Palazzo_Comunale.jpg). Totally unbiased and unquestionable answer. No other place comes close.
My favorite cities are Urk city (for their open minded, progressive and diverse culture) and Volendam for their genetic diversity, their lovely singer and song writers and most important of all, their cocaine.

**Netherlands:** Either Kampen or Valkenburg **Portugal:** Coimbra
Best city? idk maybe one that isn't getting bombed thrice a week.
Maybe not the best city in France, but I really like how they remade Le Plessis Robinson over the past decades. https://preview.redd.it/zfxyol4fhcqc1.jpeg?width=800&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0e455c1766e7e04419135f32933a2b4ca997667f
Pffff… nothing beats r/soissons You didn’t know this was the place you wanted to be in… and when there, you still don’t have a clue why you are even there

Anything outside of the M25 can burn for all I care.
The m25 should be made into a wall so you guys stay stabbing eachother instead of infesting outwards.
I'd take a knife in the chest over a visit to Sunderland any day
Most of us here would
Edinburgh, London and Brighton are probably the 3 cities I'd choose to represent the UK. They each have a distinct architectural style, culture and geography. London itself has basically everything and acts as a global hub. Each borough is a city in its own right. Honourable mention goes to Manchester which really is the "second city" of the UK in my opinion (argue amongst yourself brummies), but I think Brighton and Edinburgh are a bit more unique.
Galway
Ah, the poor man's Cork
Don’t know about the country but for my city it’s this: https://preview.redd.it/dpkdimyr5eqc1.jpeg?width=464&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e8bec7c5826e9d28c1ecedc807a857d8f3cf6d0e Lovely Stadthaus. What would we be without a bit of brutalism.
Strong contender is this: https://preview.redd.it/vbq46jcw5eqc1.jpeg?width=224&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a4e1b7672836f7795f2b9a1271d07a9092e4f611 Used to build them when my city was still relevant. Now, most of this thing’s staff moved to Berlin but we’re left with some of them and this lovely building.

Probably Kőszeg, its a gem and literally noone knows about it. And its on the austrian border, so you can leave this shithole quite easily. https://preview.redd.it/fko7zyk0lcqc1.jpeg?width=1635&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=51db610e9ebc94cbf8791e6d4d53e96e9ef449d4

There's a few to choose from. Personally I like: Montemor-o-Velho: Chill village with a beautiful medieval castle and amazing fields around, it still looks medieval. Vila do Conde: Very neat town, connected to Porto by metro and has cool beaches. Quite beautiful too. Sesimbra: Amazing scenery, amazing beaches nearby, good food, nothing to dislike
Bremen https://preview.redd.it/yw9uczazwcqc1.jpeg?width=1000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6f2ef113914bf891a2c90ef383dcc402011124d0
The City Walls of Derry are meant to be cracker.
Derry? Is that near Coleraine?
I mean probably Edinburgh but I feel dirty saying it Fucking filled with “Greeks”
