What is best? Hard question because of so many variables. Why not Tokyo?

Most of the great cities I wouldn' t want to live in. I don't like large cities- too many people.

So, Tokyo. World class city filled with lots of history, culture and Japanese women.

O-Town, The "CAPITAL"
Wish I knew?????????

I would have to visit to every city in the world in order to make a judgement. What an awesome profession that would be..."Professoinal City Rater".

Maybe I can get "Macleans" to make an investment :lol: .

Interesting question,
The Martyr

My favorite cities:

I like Santa Fe, New Mexico and Durango, Colorado. Not too big, some interesting history and culture and some great natural areas around them for hiking, etc.

My favorite Canadian city is Montreal but I don't like the location. My favorite location is Calgary (why I moved here) but the city is not great but 'OK'. Off to the mountains tomorrow for some hiking in real wilderness but the view of the cranes across the skyline on the ride home is 'blah'.

I've live a few places in Europe and almost everywhere is fine for a year or so but just too many people and too many layers of baggage from history. i need to 'get away' in real nature and not the artificial enclaves they've preserved.

That's a no brainer... Beardmore, Ontario.

Google Beardmore, Ontario, and behold for yourself a sample of all the wonders and mysteries that are Beardmore.

London, obviously. It's the largest city in Europe and not so long ago was the largest in the world.

Was Victoria, now Ottawa
I like London. It's got everything. Plus I like old buildings and London's chalk full of them. Full of history and art.
But I like Ottawa. It's a big city but you can get to the country in half an hour, on bike. Ottawa's got festivals all year round. It's got the Rideau Canal, the worlds longest skating rink (until global warming does away with winter all together).

I believe that Victoria,B.C. is the nicest place in Canada in which to live. New York would be the most exciting place and Stockholm the most boring.If you want to live dangerously, go for any city in the Middle East.
