+1. Although globally, I'm intending to visit Switzerland. Heard Zurich and Geneva were fanatastic (best quality of life in the world?)
Oh, yes I've been to Zurich its beautiful and the quality of life is the best in the world but I would never consider living there. Nothing really happens.
I tend to prefer cities with a lot of culture and history. Just being "scenic" with little else to offer doesn't seem to do much for me. I don't get what the big deal with that is. I'd rather the city just get out of the way, become a small town, or not be there at that point.
I've been to Zurich. So far, it's the only European city I've been disappointed with. Maybe because everything was so outrageously expensive.
It is very expensive, but it is still a very nice city. Great transport, clean, compact, attractive in a "perfect" type of sense. With that being said I never felt a connection to it at all as a city, there is no wow factor to it at all.
I haven't traveled much, but I have explored in depth most of the areas I've traveled to.
non-urban
farms of Salem, Sussex, and Cumberland Counties. The farms out in Salem remind me of the mid-west with the vast expanses of flat farm land, silos, and bright red farms. The farms here in Cumberland remind me of Europe with the all of the hedge rows that surround many of the farms in East Vineland. Sussex County=Norman Rockwell painting + ghost stories. I also LOVE driving though the marshes in Southern Cumberland county, and small towns such as Vincentown in Burlington County (again, Norman Rockewellian)
Other's include the Delaware Water Gap, the Blue Ridge Mountains (the first time I ever saw a mountain), and almost all of the Pine Barrens
urban
Alexandria VA is one of my favorite cities and was amazingly walkable
Old City Philly
The view of Newark, NJ from my studio (especially at night). It looks like this great small city in some other country with it's art-deco sky scrapers dominating the skyline. I almost feel that if I were to go there I would find a thriving nightlife just below some of them, but won't because I know it's not there and don't want to get mugged.
the view of Philly from Camden (I've grown to feel that the NYC skyline is over rated, it's too busy)
the view of NYC from Eagle Rock in Verona (think that classic mountain view that teenagers go to, to do you know what in the back seat of their cars)
sub-urban
Highlands, NJ. Full of great beautiful homes, mountain side views, the twin-lights of Navasink, and great views of the ocean.
Oh, yes I've been to Zurich its beautiful and the quality of life is the best in the world but I would never consider living there. Nothing really happens.
"Most Beautiful city/region you've been to?" is the thread's name, not most beautiful city you wished you lived in. A trip to Zurich would probably just be some R&R for me...
