A few things to note:
This is a favorite to least favorite list, in that I certainly have not totally disliked any place we've visited, despite having some conflicts with the specific cities here and there.
The list, for me at least, considers these four things:
1. Quantity, yes, but mostly quality of sites we saw (there was plenty to do in Rome, but little to do in Munich, yet I loved every single second in each)
2. The consideration of the potential of being able to live in the city (a reason why Florence, Amsterdam, and Munich are high and, say, Prague and Budapest, despite their immense qualities, are lower)
3. The cleanliness of the city (this consideration is a major factor as to why Athens and Naples are low, yet is another reason to Munich's status)
4. The price of living in and/or visiting the city (Venice is breathtaking, but this reason is paramount to its location on the list)
The issue of the welcoming and friendliness of the city's locals is not considered, because, frankly, I don't like dealing with tourists in Chicago, either - so I don't blame them
Jess will post her list soon. Stay tuned...
