I think Munich should be much nearer the top :-)

I don't know... — 2 years ago

Just my opinion.
I think 1 2 3 should be:
1 Rome
2 Paris
3 London

I’ve been to 12 of them on the list!!!

Yeah, I think this list is much better, and it has some surprises for me at the end which I’ll have to check out.
Why didn’t you tell about this in the other city discussion?

However, I personally wouldn’t consider Berlin/Maryland a European city… And you might want to change some duplicate places which are more established under their original names, like Venezia, Warszawa, Kraków, Praha and München (though I already reported them so that they gonna be merged anyway).
