Cities

I've only been abroad once and it was so disastrous that it hasn't been attempted since. I'm sure I will visit many of the places I want to at one point, so here is a list of some of them, plus cities I have been to before and wish to return to. Thanks to Naoise for the suggestion.


1. Edinburgh. A city I've visited hundreds of times on account of it's accessibility and what there is to do there. I adore the atmosphere, museums, art galleries, culture, history and architecture, and having lunch in the park with Gemma. Everytime I pass the statue of David Hume, I think to myself "Why is he in a toga?"

2. Kraków. I would really love to visit this city, and experience the culture. Visit the castles and cathedrals, look at the gorgeous architecture and of course, visit Auschwitz. That is something I have always wanted to do.

3. Paris. I have this utterly childish belief that I will fall in love in Paris (unless, of course, I go there already in love, which would probably be just as wonderful ) It just seems so romantic. I would love to visit the Louvre, and see how much French I can remember from school... better yet, it might be a good excuse to learn the language again.

4. New York. I have this sneaking suspicion that I would take black and white photographs all the time there. I'd love to just wander around there. Window shop (Tiffany's!) and obviously, visit all the landmarks. The Empire State Building, Statue Of Liberty, oh and Central Park.

5. Rome. I'd love to visit so many places in Rome, including the Pantheon in Old Rome with the hole in the ceiling, and the Colosseum. Plus, I love Italian food. Oh and not forgetting The Mouth Of Truth. I love Roman Holiday.

6. Berlin. Lots of different museums for me to enjoy, including a Jewish museum which I think seems really interesting and Topography of Terror. I also love visiting churches and there are some that look really interesting there, plus different memorials and the remaining section of the Berlin Wall.

7. Amsterdam. Many museums, churches and synagogues to catch my interest. I'd really like to visit the Anne Frank House, Van Gogh museum and take in the parks and countryside.

8. Athens. So many of the landmarks in Athens look fascinating, especially The Acropolis and The Ancient Agora.

9. London. I have been to London twice, but there is so much to see and do there, I'd probably have to go back quite a few times to get it all done. I've yet to visit St. Paul's Cathedral and The Tower of London. Lots of different museums and galleries too.

10. Prague. Prague Castle, Josefov - the historical Jewish ghetto, various museums and galleries and the Gothic Týn Church in the Old Town.
