Society & Culture Beautiful Cities of the World

[rocker_oz33]

The weather won’t worry me that much - I use to take a summer holiday or maye a more accurate term, ”a holiday from summer” by travelling to North America during our Dec & Jan period

I mean in terms of traveling and seeing places ..would want to waste or lose time

Australia a much younger country than those over in Euro .

But there cities seem more beautiful..

I think it depends where you're from. For us Aussies where we don't have the architecture and history European cities seem beautiful. Whereas Europeans I speak to, "Australia.. so beautiful".

Yeah i see ya point


When I over over in Euro one church took like 200 years to build ....people died building it .
That's pretty how old Australia was ... interesting.

I think prob Hobart Australia prettiest city ...

I get ya - and I’ve had to deal with that also due to weather when traveling

Its about finding the right time to travel but not necessarily wanting it to be too busy or crazy with tourists

And with how far away Iceland is from Aus, I’d want to maximise my time away and add in a few other destinations at the same time

A lot of the top Crossfitters are from Iceland. I'll shut up now.

I tink I'm right ...

Never been to Iceland but I would love to go there.

When I was living in London me and a few friends decided to go on a trip somewhere different in Europe for a long weekend.

I voted to go to Reykjavik but I got outvoted and we went to Stockholm instead which wasn't a bad option and it's a beautiful city.

It was close to summer there and it was bizarre coming out of a nightclub there at about 3am and the sun was rising like it was 6am.

It felt like we had just been on an all nighter which throws you out of whack, they have long nights in winter and short nights in summer.

In comparison Sydney is a shithole

Was going to suggest this. Why not do some of the uglier cities of the world.


I'd go probably Detroit. (altho I do have a soft spot for it and did enjoy my time there when I was there)

Society & Culture - Ugliest Cities of the World

Companion piece to the "Beautiful Cities of the World" thread.... Doesn't have to be just the look of it, or environmental reasons like smog, or intense daily humidity, can be time spent there, imbibed into their culture, found the locals and/or customs to be a bad experience. Etc. I nominate...

Perth belongs on the list too tbh, never been to a place with better weather

Do you go on the Euro train

 

[rocker_oz33]

I tink Hobart Australia prettiest city.
But the weather would prob put me off.
I would love the hiking trails tho

I did from Brussels to London, went through the chunnel which was weird going from France under the channel and bobbing up in England.

A nice way to travel but it wasn't cheap, more expensive than a flight.

There's an Ipswich in Queensland you could visit.

Hobart is lovely, plenty of nice joints in Tassie overall. I used to go there a lot for work and usually had local contacts to take me to the good pubs and cafes, great food down there.
