All other Cities in the world seem dull after I saw X City?

San'a, Yemen, hands down.
I seriously felt like a time traveler, going back over a thousand years... The culture, the architecture, the sounds, sights and smells. The guns, donkeys, mosques amd warm people... I know it sounds crazy, but it made a bigger impression on me than Cairo or Jerusalem.

Like others, I can't think of one city that tops them all...
Berlin - a living museum, so much history yet so modern, all the culture
Seattle - the mountains, the sea, the water, the nature, the people
Cape Town - the grandeur, the diversity (albeit segregated), quaint history, wine

Kyoto, Japan.
You'll be sorry you went back to heavy civilization after you see the Golden temple there!

It's amazing how most of us seem to like the same kind of city, as my favourite ones are Singapore and Hong Kong, with New York and Istanbul as runners up. I'm looking forward to the weekend I'm spending in Bangkok next month, and Tokyo has been on top of my wish list for years...

This thread is being hijacked by people talking about their favorite Cities instead of the most interesting. I was trying to get information on the most shocking, bizarre and exotic places people like to visit, instead of Disney like places- San Francisco.
