London vs. Paris
I've never been to London, but I went to Paris and loved it! I would also like to go to London someday.

Like comparing apples and cantaloupes.......totally different cities with a totally different feel.
Both have their pluses and minuses.

I'd say Paris, but I'd need to learn French.  |

Very different cities. I've only spent one day in Paris so maybe not a fair comparison, but I prefer London where I've spent a lot of time.

As everyone else said very different cities but Paris gets my vote.

Sometimes it depends on which stage in life you are. When I was in my 20s, it was Paris! Now in later years it would be London.

I've been to London twice and Paris once. I preferred London, but I was also in a bit of a screwy situation while in Paris that may have influenced my outlook. I'd like to give Paris another try in the coming years.

I love visiting Paris (I speak French); I've been to London many times and never liked it.

I don't think I could choose one over the other, but in terms of language, London has an edge because my tourist-style French is wretched.
I've been to London 8 or 9 times and there is still plenty I have not seen.
I hope to return.
Been to Paris about 4 times. Would like to return there, as well.
Both are very expensive, that's for sure.

Yes, but London's far more expensive than Paris is...even when I was living in the UK and earning money in pounds rather than dollars, I found London to be prohibitively expensive. I don't know how anyone manages to live there! |
