Although I had never thought I would love Paris...it is an amazing city, the energy, nighttime is aboslutely breathtaking. But another town, so different from Paris, is a small town in Austria, Lofer. Our $60.00 a night accomodation had breathtaking views of the swiss alps. This is a hometown and just an amazing experience of living in a small austrian village. Liking small towns, I never thought I would love Rome as I did, but it was truly amazing....just to realize that these amzing structures were able to be built at the time they were. Another small town....Bellagio in Lake Como....wonderfully charming, great food, beautiful scenery! I also loved Positano on the Amalfi coast.....the energy of the Italians make every city delightful, but staying in a hotel with our view over the water......great way to end our italian trip.

Surely Istanbul. The epitomy of Islamic culture and the previous European Christian culture that it destroyed. Incredible food as well.

For beauty I think Florence is a top contender.

I also love Talinn, Estonia and Bruges, Belgium for their fairy tale appeal and beauty.

Madang - the town itself isn't that much to look at, but has a great market, a park with crocodiles, and is next to some amazing diving sights and tropical islands, and has the mountainous jungle just next door.

Great night life hanging around with the local rascals etc if you are into that sort of thing.

Gimmelwald, Switzerland, though not really a city, has yet to be dethroned on my end... It's high up enough to give an epic view of the valley below, with the Alps' tallest mountains right next door, yet low enough that you're still close to a grocery store and other civilization things.

Honorable mention for me hometown of San Diego, CA. Even Bali's beaches and the Italian Riviera couldn't trump good ole Torrey Pines.

Yes, Gimmelwald is beautiful.
Is that where the waterfalls are in the mountain?

Yea, not exactly but it's part of the same general area (the Lauterbrunnen Valley.) Gimmelwald is a tiny village above & across from where that waterfall is.
