Video: My 10 Favorite Cities in the World
Two months ago I did my first video on my 10 Least Favorite Cities in the World. Today I’m going the opposite direction. My 10 Favorite Cities in the World are culled from 47 years of international travel to 114 countries. No. 1 won’t surprise. You may agree on others. Some will shock you. Let me know what you think in the comments section below.

Thank you. Interesting list.
Did you consider any United States cities? If so, which?
Similarly, any Asian cities get consideration?

No U.S. cities. I prefer the different cultures in foreign destinations. I listed Kathmandu and Baku. Southeast Asia? No. Their cities aren’t nearly as good as their countrysides.

Can’t believe Belfast didn’t make the list . . .

Good point. I hadn’t thought of Belfast but I liked the exotic of other places farther east.

I listened and watched with bated breath and am tickled pink that Rome is your #1 choice. On my Facebook page my location is listed as Rome which most times causes an issue when I place an online order and the US seller messages me to let them know they don’t do international shipping, then I have to explain that it is my heart that resides in Rome.
I am landlocked in the desert here in New Mexico – which has its own charms.
I’ve visited a few of the countries you mentioned in your list and your #2 choice (Paris) just didn’t catch my fancy but that’s understandable as we all have our different reasons why one place or another feels like home.
Oh I could go on and on about the splendor of Rome and I count myself blessed and fortunate to have visited at least half a dozen times and each visit I fell more and more in love.
Thank you for sharing and I’ve been enjoying your writings for a number of years.

Thanks, Arabella. Drop me a line the next time you’re in town. Hopefully, I’ll still have Rome No. 1 then.
