Mine is San Francisco - so much character, a laid back feel, a zest for life and a confidence in its own identity. Outstanding views all over the city, iconic bridges, buildings and attractions as well as not being a massive urban sprawl.

What is your favourite city?

    I love San Francisco although I think that Boston just pips it to be my favourite city... Boston really has something for everyone no matter what mood you're in - great history, great sights, great shopping, great food & great sport.

    I can't decide between Boston and New York. Boston probably is better, just.

    This things do tend to develop into lists.

    However if I could live anywhere lother than where I do already - and very happy. I'd want to live in Hobart.

    Lovely city surrounded by mountains, sea and beaches in a beautiful part of the world.

    Has to be NYC, which really means Manhattan.

    The skyline. The iconic buildings. The people. The never ending shift of trendy neighbourhoods. The Chelsea Highline. The ease of getting a cab. The endless eating opportunities. The urban density.

    San Francisco is too twee and overpriced.

    I absolutely loved New York city.

    But I haven't been to a huge amount really. I hope this changes :)

    Ditto, and for pretty much the same reasons.

    I'm very fond of Sion in Switzerland also.

    Regulars won't be surprised that my choice is Hurricane, Utah. Yes, it is officially a city.

    Yes, agree with that.

    Top 5, certainly.
