Melbourne>>>Sydney anyway.

― Drooone, Wednesday, 11 July 2007 01:34 (eighteen years ago)

FUCK YOU, PARIS.

― Casuistry, Wednesday, 11 July 2007 01:57 (eighteen years ago)

Sydney?!?

― theboyqueen, Wednesday, 11 July 2007 04:40 (eighteen years ago)

Also, putting Udaipur on this list is like calling Lake Tahoe America's greatest city.

― theboyqueen, Wednesday, 11 July 2007 04:43 (eighteen years ago)

Yeah, I know, fckn Sydney.
The article I got it from was saying that Sydney ruled this bullshit for 10 years or something.

― Drooone, Wednesday, 11 July 2007 05:07 (eighteen years ago)

What were the parameters?

― Heave Ho, Wednesday, 11 July 2007 05:08 (eighteen years ago)

I got it from here: http://www.smh.com.au/news/travel/sydney-no-longer-no1/2007/07/11/1183833556430.html

sydney's a pretty great place for a holiday - lots of people with fond memories. i doubt many of the people who voted for it live here!

Florence from this list, but no London, no credibility.

― aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, Wednesday, 11 July 2007 07:40 (eighteen years ago)

I have a degree in geography and do not know where Udaipur is. I'm gonna guess somewhere in Indonesia before going and immediately Googling it.

― iiiijjjj, Wednesday, 11 July 2007 08:02 (eighteen years ago)

whoops, way off

― iiiijjjj, Wednesday, 11 July 2007 08:03 (eighteen years ago)

fuck all, bring on Portland.

fucking carbon-footprinting motherfuckers.

― That one guy that hit it and quit it, Wednesday, 11 July 2007 08:11 (eighteen years ago)

No Tokyo, no credibility.

― Super Cub, Wednesday, 11 July 2007 08:17 (eighteen years ago)

No Tokyo, No Bento for you.

― nathalie, Wednesday, 11 July 2007 08:19 (eighteen years ago)

Yeah I would srsly rep Melbourne over Sydney, my bias aside! Cost of living is better here, cultural quality better. Why does Sydney always get the only bigup.

― Trayce, Wednesday, 11 July 2007 08:58 (eighteen years ago)

I've only ever been to one of those cities, so my vote'a a bit crap.

― Ste, Wednesday, 11 July 2007 09:18 (eighteen years ago)

The list's a bit crap.

― Noodle Vague, Wednesday, 11 July 2007 09:24 (eighteen years ago)

Sydney = great place to visit, not so great place to live.

Melbourne represents.

― SeekAltRoute, Wednesday, 11 July 2007 09:30 (eighteen years ago)

Depends what criteria they use for the top cities doesn't it?

I love Sydney and Rome as places to visit, but I can't imagine living there. If I could only return to one city for holidays, then I would choose Rome.

However, if I had to choose one place to live (and not where I'm living already) I can imagine living in Melbourne. Just returned from a couple of days there, and it is such a great place.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

― ILX System, Thursday, 19 July 2007 23:01 (eighteen years ago)

I love that there is a city that even I have never heard of on the list.

― The Real Dirty Vicar, Friday, 20 July 2007 14:13 (eighteen years ago)

Cape... Town??

― ghost rider, Friday, 20 July 2007 14:14 (eighteen years ago)

Cape Town is pretty sweet if you have money.

― Ed, Friday, 20 July 2007 14:16 (eighteen years ago)

Sydney = great place to visit, not so great place to live.

OTM

Melbourne represents.

Sydney = great place to visit, not so great place to live.

the magazine is called Travel + Leisure

― gabbneb, Friday, 20 July 2007 14:20 (eighteen years ago)

Udaipur's alright if you like dholaks

― ghost rider, Friday, 20 July 2007 14:21 (eighteen years ago)

exactly

― sunny successor, Friday, 20 July 2007 14:21 (eighteen years ago)

I'm 37 years old, relatively well educated, and have never heard of Udaipur.

I'll go with Rome

― Bill Magill, Friday, 20 July 2007 15:32 (eighteen years ago)

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

― ILX System, Friday, 20 July 2007 23:01 (eighteen years ago)

I love living in San Francisco and everything, but really? Best city in the world? How is that possible.

― polyphonic, Friday, 20 July 2007 23:05 (eighteen years ago)

This poll has a liberal bias.

― admrl, Friday, 20 July 2007 23:06 (eighteen years ago)

I was the only one to rep for the Cape Town. :(

I'd rather go there than anywhere else on this list. I could probably eat some fish there.

― Abbott, Friday, 20 July 2007 23:18 (eighteen years ago)

I voted for Buenos Aires even though I haven't been there.
