    Amsterdam? If I would have to chose a Dutch city, I would go for Rotterdam.

    I've visited Rotterdam numerous times... Pretty nice city, but I live in Brabant and have always lived in Brabant...

    I like Brabant, but Rotterdam is my favorite city. The Hague my least favorite. It just feels like the city doesn't have a soul.

    Depends on which dialect. I like the Flemish soft G, but around Den Bosch, I dislike it. It really depends on what region. Where in Brabant do you live? Eindhoven? Tilburg?

    Rome. I mean it is located on a river, it is in the center of Italy (vertical wise).

    Catania, Italy because it's located in the middle of the Mediteranian and has great farm land next to it.

    Constantinople/Istanbul and Machu Picchu. Well, the last one isn't really a city anymore, but damn it took us long to find.

    I've been to Rome, so yeah Rome is just a overall great experience and it is certainly a hot spot to go to. Such a bad ass historic context it had to it as well. Loved it!

    I just love where it's situated though, right in the middle of Italy.

    All the Mexican cities close to the border of the US.

    Perfect for the drug trade.
