MY FAVOURITE CITY


WATCH the VIDEO about PARIS, one of my favourite cities in Europe.

The city of Paris is one of my favourite cities. It's the only place in Europe where you can find a great variety of monuments, beautiful buildings and a pleasant atmosphere. L´Arc de Triomphe, The Eiffel Tower, The Sacre Coeur, The Notre Dâme, The Louvre, Disneyland... There is no ending of the list of things you have to see.

What's your favourity city? Why?

  2. Paris and New York are very important and big cities, but London is more cultural.
    London is the capital of United Kingdom in this city there are a lot of cultures and religions. Here we speak over 300 languages.
    London has many monuments and museums.
    The most important monuments is the Tower of London, Houses of Parliament with Big Ben, Trafalgar Square, Abbey Road, Westminster Abbey, Parliament Square, Tower Bridge, Hyde Park, Regent's Park, The Mall, Buckingham Palace, St. Paul's Cathedral, Piccadilly Circus, or Windsor Castle.
    The most famous museums are the British Museum, Science Museum, National Army Museum, Imperial War Museum, Natural History Museum, National Maritime Museum and Royal Observatory Greenwich.
    London is a big city, so many means of transportation such as subway, taxi, train, etc. ..

  3. Paris is a very important city in the European view, but I think that Oxford is better because it has got more history and culture among their streets.
    Oxford is situated in the county of Oxfordshire, in Great Britain, and is one of the biggest university cities around the world.
    It has got a population of just under 165,000 people. The rivers Cherwell and Thames run through Oxford and meet south of the city centre.
    You can move in Oxford by taxi, but there are cheaper transportations as the bus lines.
    We can find in Oxford the Bodleian Library, which has got nine million of shelf kilometres with books and seats for 2,500 readers. It has been one of the numerous scenery for the cinematographic adaptation of Harry Potter’s books (it appeared in the two first films). The books enter in this library by a passageway which go under the city, for protect the books, some most of them are very old and come to this place to be repaired and to have a rest.
    There’s too the University where J.R.R. Tolkien has written “The Lord of the Rings”, and where he has spent a lot of hours teaching students. Lewis Caroll, Oscar Wilde and C.S. Lewis are other celebrities who have coexisted in this place. It appears in a lot of novels with false names (In “His Dark Materials”, by Philip Pullman, is known as “Jordan School”, for example).
    For the people who don’t like monuments, buildings and literature, I can say that the city has got a lot of shops when you can buy since the normal things and souvenirs like the famous Oxford Jumper and T-Shirt. There are a lot of restaurants and some interesting Book Shops.
    Like other English Cities, you can go to take a cup of coffee to the Starbucks establishment.

  5. I think that París is an important city but my favorite city is venecia.
    Venecia is composed by 120 small linked to each other islands by 455 bridges, if we include the islands of Murano and Burano.
    It comes near to Venice for the Bridge of the Freedom, which accedes to the Piazzale Roma.
    It is known as the city of the channels because it Is placed on a set of islands that Adriatic Sea spreads in a homonymous swampy lagoon in the sea.
    Monuments can be visited as: Plaza of San Marcos, the palaces Ca ' d'Oro, Ducal Palace, Palazzo Fortuny .... and someone of the churches mas important as Basilica of San Marcos, Basilica of Holy Maria Gloriosa dei Frari...
    You can visit her a foot but the form mas rapid and comfortable of seeing the whole city it is in gondola.

  6. My favorite city is London, because it has a very attractive culture.
    I like the lifestyle of the English people, because I consider serious people and happy people. When I was in Worcester treated I was tried very kindly.
    The buildings I call attention, because it shows me is a company very stately.
    It calls my attention the royal palace, as well as the simplicity of the house of the prime minister.
    The Tamesis river gives a great charm to the city dividing in two parts. I like his avenues with large shopping centers and theaters.

  13. I think that all the cities have something special, but if you love skiing you must go to Innsbruck.
    Innsbruck is situated in the western part of Austria and is the capital of the state of Tyrol. Innsbruck sits in a very wide valley between some extremely tall mountains. This city serves as an ideal place for skiing in winter, and mountaineering in summer.
    There are several ski resorts around Innsbruck and the Olympic Winter Games have been there twice.

  14. I love Paris very much , but I think there are a lot of beautiful cities around the world.
    My favourite place isn't exactly a city , it's an island. This island is Bora Bora, in the French Polynesia, 260km to the norwesth from Thaiti. It's formed by a volcano, it's surronded by lagoon and separated from the sea by a reef. It's one of the most exotic places around the world , it has some hotels and you can sail,swim in the sea or only be separate from the world.

    Pd: Search some photos of the island in Google , this is a very beautiful place.

  15. My favourite city is London,If you have time,you shoul visit London becouse is the most cosmopolitan city in the world.
    There are a lot of many beautiful places that you can visit like for example: Westminster, Palace,Trafalgar Square,Parliament Square,St.Paul's Cathedral...
    If you are interested in art you can visit the best museums in the world like the British Museum, The Natural Museum...and if you are interested in classical music you can go to the Royal Albert Hall. A part of from that you can walk around the city ,going shopping ,visiting the big parks…
    I love Trafalgar Square because is a famous square located in the city center.It commemorates Nelson’s great novel victory over the French

    The worst thing in London is the weather.
    If you go there,you will go in summer but sometimes it rains.

  20. My favorite city is Santorini. It is an island of Greece. It is different from the rest of the islands, has form of half moon and they are several small islands. I have never been but I would like to go because I am charmed with the harmony that has with all the white and blue houses and the tranquilida that exists in his islands. It does not have many things to see but it calls my me the attention. Paris also is a very nice city but I like it mas santorini.

  21. I haven't a favourite city, because unfortunately I don't know all the cities, so I can't choose, but really I love Roma.
    I was in roma in January, and I liked it!
    It has a lot of interesting places, like La fontana di Trevi,or the Popolo's square, and now, I like more, because I have read "A tres metros sobre el cielo" and the story happens in Roma, and it's very exciting read places where I have been.
    And really I liked the italian's pizzas...mmm!

  23. For me,New York is the best city around the world clearly.like most of the american cities, is well known by the skyscrapers, but you can go too to the Central park,the Fifth avenue, China town, Times square and too many different places. Don´t forget the museums and the theaters because they are always at the art´s forefront. How you know NY has the most famous and beatiful buildings and just taking a walk you would agree. For shopping is also a really good place. There are thousands of shops and you always find what you are looking for.

  24. My favorite city is Prague, is a good place to visit it. You can see in this city the Astronomic Clock, The Plaza of the Old City and Carlos' Bridge.
    In Prague you can go afoot it is not necessary to use the transport to see the city.
    I believe that Paris, London and New York are also very nice.

  26. My favourite city is Berne. It’s the capital of Suiza. I like it because it’s situated on the middle of the Swiss Alps, where you can practise skiing, a lot. It’s a small city, but I think it´s alright. There are many
    beautiful monuments, like the cathedral, the Federal Palace of Berne or the Bümpliz Castles. Berne climate is very cold, so if you want to visit it, you have to wear warm clothes!

    I think New York, Madrid or Paris are very interesting too.

  27. Sorry for the delay but that I had forgotten.
    My favorite city is Las Vegas for your entertainment and places to relax,
    is internationally known as the global entertainment capial, with a population around half a million people registered is a sparsely populated hare been carefully compared to other like New York or Los Angeles but they come to register the visitors twice that of people who live there . The city in Nevada County is also known as l sin city ... xd, and it is said, what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. For this and many other things when I turn 18 I will try to make a trip to Las Vegas.

  28. I like Paris a ton, I've been there once. But my favourite city is certainly Lisboa.
    Lisboa is the capital or Portugal. It's located in the river mouth of Tajo. It's clean, wide, and very nice. I think it's the nicest city I've been.
    There's a phrase that designes Portugal, and specifically Lisboa: "it's a palace habited by gypsies". And it's almost true! Most of the people who lives there is of lower classes, and the environmente is spectacular!
    If someone says "Lisboa", you can think about many things: the "torre de Belem", the bridge called "April 25th"... Yeah, all of them are interessants. But really, the thing with I got efectively impressed was the "Elevador do Carmo". It's like an enormous but normal lift, but it connects some streets in different height! Going up there is an indescribable feeling! And it allows a panoramic view of the city.
    Other interesting things in the city are the oceanographic (one of the biggest of Europe!), the "Parque das Naçoes"(the location of the Expo98)...and lots more.
    You must visit Lisboa!!

  29. My favourite city is Barcelona, because the weather is very good, in winter is a little hot and in summer you can go to the beach.
    You can go shopping too, or you can walk in all the parks that are around the city.
    There are a lot of interesting places to go, for example you can go to the Sagrada Familia, or you can go to La Rambla, where are a lot of artists in the street.
    There are a lot of restaurant too, where you can eat a Mediterranean menu.
    I think Barcelona is better than Madrid, because is more interesting.
    Going to Barcelona, is a good idea!
