The Cockney Don Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 Auschwitz is actually quite nice, way better than the other death camp down the road, Birkena, I thought the accommodation was ahead of its time. Great boozer across the road as well. Always wondered why the fuck do people visit that fucking place ? Link to comment

alscotoz Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 Agree Paris crap. Same with Athens. Adelaide is pretty boring, also. Link to comment
manboobs109 Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 The towns no as busy as it used to be. Too many taxis on the road nowadays Link to comment
Sonoftherock Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 I suspect many of those who have Dublin on the list, spent most of their time in the various tourist traps.... I've a few friends from Dublin, who've taken me about, and if you steer clear of areas like Temple Bar you gain a different perspective of the city. Link to comment
hopeisimportant Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 Is it cool to think beautiful cities are a dump? Not sure I've visited anywhere I really didn't like. I have seen Florence, Prague and Paris all mentioned which are all fantastic in my opinion. Every city has it's share of tramps and rough edges but the architecture in these places is outstanding. Florence is probably my favourite city I've visited. 1 Link to comment
Zeus Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 No it's not cool. Paris is a fucking shithole Link to comment

muttonhumper Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 Surprised to see Athens getting some mentions here. It is a truly fantastic place, some amazing bars and areas with indy/alternative culture.Piraeus is excellent too. I think those calling it a shithole may not have had time to explore it, say in the days around the Dons visit to Panathinaikos.For that one, I thought the place was pretty shit boring, until the last night when we actually sussed the best places to go. Had 5 days there visiting friends earlier this year, was fucking fantastic.Of course it does help that they had lived there for a couple of years and knew where to go. For the other mentions.Agree with Milan, pretty boring, pricey.Paris, I've enjoyed some of the time there, but can see why folk would think it a shit hole, and agree that it is overated.Barcelona, I really like, but again possibly overated.Hamburg I love, but that's probably because I'm a pervert. Decadent.Dublin, I'd touch on what someone else mentioned, get away from Temple Bar and Grafton Street for a bit, and it's great.Had some amazing times there.Prague, also many visits, and canna hae that place marked doon. That's nae possible when you can still get pints for less than a pound.Just keep awa fae Old Town Square and Wenceslas Sq. Some brilliant bars kicking aboot. Link to comment
StandFree1982 Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 Rome. Overcrowded. and full of Asians selling water, umbrellas and fake tickets every 20 yards Link to comment
NEM Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 Darlington ,Great Yarmouth, Middlesbrough and Stoke on Trent leave a lot to be desired. Not sure anyone rates them that highly tbh Link to comment

Zeus Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 Thought Rome was really good. Stayed in Travestere (sp?). Ace wee bars away from the centre. Hoora crowded around colusseuem, Vatican etc however to be expected. Folk didn't seem to smell of pungent BO like Paris. Link to comment
Parklife Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 Rome is fucking brilliant. Up there with Barcelona, Madrid and, of course, LDN as the best European cities IMO. Link to comment
Clydeside_Sheep Posted December 20, 2019 Author Share Posted December 20, 2019 I liked Rome, naturally. Expensive, but plenty of beautiful women and beautiful Churches, plus great food and wine. Everything a man needs really. Surprised to see Hamburg on the list, I really liked it there. We had a fantastic time on the Reeperbahn. I liked the feel to it and, of course, the "grosse freiheit".

Wester Hailes Skins Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 I know you're all giving Dublin a hard time but tbf I went there and it was even fucking worse. Shit city. Shit people. I haven't been to Paris, and wouldn't go if it was free. Looks like London but with worse breath. Birmingham. Englands second city? I wiped my feet on the way out. To balance things. Naples was awesome. Been twice. Amazing place, great food and drink, beautiful people. Football mad. Loads to do. It's even got a working volcano. Link to comment

Aye Hamburg is a great city ! Couldn't fault it at all. Was in Munich a couple of week's back and it was ace as well... not found a German city i haven't liked as yet. Dublin is completely overrated, as numerous others have said. Didn't hate it as such, but it wasn't what folk make it out to be. Link to comment

Redforever86 Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 Wasn’t too enamoured with Copenhagen either. I suppose a gauge is “ would you go back?”Copenhagen is fucking quality. Link to comment
Foster14 Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 Rome is fucking brilliant. Up there with Barcelona, Madrid and, of course, LDN as the best European cities IMO. Berlin too. Can't really think of anywhere that I have been that had no redeeming features, or where I would point blank refuse to go back. Link to comment
