Yesterday, upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...

Strictly sticking to the question's criteria, I guess it would have to be only London.  :(

But since I'm definitely not a city person, I'd go for a favourite landscape instead.  :bowler:

To sleep, perchance to dream. But in that sleep of death, what dreams may come?

I've rarely traveled somewhere alone or without meeting someone. The first time was actually Madeira in 2008. I could see myself enjoying life there. :)

Had to consult the archives for this one, mostly I travel with someone or meet up with someone. So there is a surprise winner.........Coimbra in Portugal  :cool:

Oddly enough, considering what a recluse I can be, I cannot recall going to any city as a tourist on my own without at least meeting somebody there.

Definitely a Zürcher. I demand perfection from city government.

Sydney. I think I could live there.

While working this out I noticed a strong correlation between solo travel and being in long-term relationships  :Embarrass:

Milan.

So-so. Loved the people, didn't love the city. Much more industrial that I'd thought.

It wasn't until I was single that I had this experience. I'm really, really glad that I was single and had this experience.

Cleveland, Ohio. I can certainly live with it. I love that city.  :)

I don't think I have a city.  I've always either traveled or visited others, or traveled for non-tourist reasons by myself.

Honestly, Whitehorse Yukon. :cool:

Or anywhere along the Alaska Highway. But definitely not Fairbanks.

Montreal by the criterion of the OP, where I lived for a year after university.
