1. Paris, France
2. Rome, Italy
3. London, England
4. Barcelona, Spain
5. Prague, Czech Republic
6. Venice, Italy
7. St. Petersburg, Russia
8. Florence, Italy
9. Edinburgh, Scotland
10. Istanbul, Turkey
Number 9, fair doos, but the Top-rated things to do seem a bit dubious, particularly the tours????
Attractions
1 Xtreme Karting Edinburgh 29 reviews
2 Camera Obscura and World of Illusi... 200 reviews
3 Royal Yacht Britannia 122 reviews
Tours
1 The Hairy Coo - Free Scottish High... 336 reviews
2 Afternoon Tea Tours 52 reviews
3 Scottish Routes Day Tours 23 reviews
So a tourist (mappy) comes up to you and says they want to do something usual and something a bit unusual in Edinburgh. What two choices would you give them?
Usual – Mary Kings Close
Unusual – lunch outside the Last Drop watching the world go by (all afternoon) (and early evening)

I think that we forget how great a city Edinburgh is sometimes because we see it all the time. It's got tons of history, some of the architecture is special, art galleries a plenty and great pubs and restaurants all over the place.
Can you imagine if your closest city was somewhere like Hull or even Birmingham?

I've never really found Trip Advisor to be a very reliable source of information if I'm honest.....

Istanbul is far better than Edinburgh, probably the best place I've been - not to say that I'd prefer to live there though.
I'm also surprised that Berlin isn't there.

That that heap called "London" gets on there but neither Berlin nor Lyon (biaised - moi??!!! ) do is a bit of a head scratcher.
Lisbon as well.

I can't believe Rome is number 2. Been to Italy a few times and every city I've visited is disgustingly dirty, disgustingly expensive and the people are even less friendly than Londoners.

Rome is my favourite out of that lot.
Hopefully go inter-railing next year and check out the ones I've missed, heard great things about Prague.

Food and drink amazing though, and the ice cream is something else.

Rome wasn't helped by a taxi strike and the worst public transport known to man. The busses stoped at 11pm despite the taxi strike and the gig I was at at the Olypmic Stadium finished at 11.30pm. There was no way for 60,000 fans to get home and we were staying at the opposite side of the city. It was like a scene from a disaster movie with thousands of folk sleeping rought around the stadium.
