If you could pick one city in the world to live in for just one year, where would it be?
Not surprisingly, when we asked this on IndependentTraveler.com’s Facebook page, we ended up with a fascinating and eclectic list of cities located all over the world. But a few places were a bit more popular than others.
Paris, for instance, rocked the list with 14 out of 65 poll respondents selecting the City of Lights as the number one city they’d love to explore for a year. Other cities in France that got a mention included Honfleur and Lyon.
London also ranked high on the list, with six people selecting British capital as the place they’d like to spend a year. But London wasn’t the only U.K. city to see some love. Edinburgh got three votes and the small coastal town of Lyme Regis in West Dorset also got a vote, specifically for “all those fossils!”
Personally, I was happy to see Sydney appear five times, as the Down Under city is my choice for where I’d like to spend a year.
Surprisingly, no single Italian city got more than one vote, though many made it onto the list including Venice, Amalfi, Florence, Rome and Rimini.
Other cities to get more than one vote included Papeetee (Tahiti), Barcelona, Vienna, Bangkok and New York City.
Where would you like to spend a year? And why?
