Venice is unreal but yeah Florence is very dear to me, and a must-go place if you like Medici history, with historical palaces and artworks scattered everywhere in the city. Regrettably when you live in/near a place you tend to get used to the sights and sort of take them for granted and never take the time to visit anything, but there’s so much to see 41 minutes ago, R4wly97 said: When I went to Venice I went around finding all the Casino Royale filming locations Lol that’s exactly what I do when I visit the UK, go around taking pictures of all Doctor Who and Harry Potter locations Film tourism and cons are my main motivations for travel 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s something very special about visiting in real life the places you’ve seen in your favourite movies/show, it’s magical Northern Ireland is the only country in the UK that I haven’t visited yet (shame on me) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, there’s already plenty of movie/book/tv show-themed city tours, so who knows what they might do next. Maybe a journey around the world in the TARDIS?

Donegal Place leading away from the city hall has been updated and there's a thriving Continental market twice a year. With the Titanic building opening a few years ago as well, there was a further boost to tourism! (And that's most likely all I can think of at the moment. lol) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unkown error Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 I've visited many counties but New Zealand tops it for me, we went to the south island and it was amazing. I'd love to visit Vancouver as so many great TV shows was/are filmed there. Here is a list where I've traveled... Australia, New Zealand, United Arab Emirates, Republic of Ireland, Germany, Spain, Italy, France, United States, Switzerland, Belgium, Scotland & Wales.

Chris1970 Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 I used to live in Australia for a number of years, back in the early/mid 90’s until 2000. Went back there for the first time since then last year, around this time. Always been a traveller, sometimes through work. Hard to pick a favourite because each place has its own pro’s and con’s. Australia has become my second home (Sweden first of course) so I dont count it really. If I should elevate some places it is Iceland, love the nature in Wales, Azores is fantastic..so much to pick. Up until now countries I have been to, some dont exist anymore: Finland, Norway, Denmark (Greenland & Faroe Islands), Iceland, the UK, Rep of Ireland, Netherlands, Belgium, Germany (East & West Germany), France, Luxembourg, Poland, Soviet Union, Hungary, Austria, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Chechoslovakia, Slovenia, Croatia, Italy, Greece, Malta, USA, Canada, Mexico, Australia, New Zealand, Vanuatu, Fiji, Salomon Islands, Tonga, Singapore, Japan, India, UAE, Oman, Egypt, Vatican, Monaco, San Marino, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Portugal, Albania. But I have slowed down now, maybe 2-3 times to the UK each year and some other destination during summer for sun, sand and relaxation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a fantastic time in Lithuania. I can highly recommend a visit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
