Glasgow is the badly behaved younger sister to Edinburgh's snooty debutante. I would add Stirling to the underrated Scottish cities list, followed by Perth. Edinburgh is overrated - too English and too many tourists.

Overrated: Amsterdam. Unfriendly, cold, crowded, and the seedy parts are all for straight men. Milano.

Underrated: Agrigento and Erice in Sicily. Glasgow.

Must admit, I'm loving all the love for my home (Glasgow!) We're a friendly bunch - as long as you buy us a pint or some chips and cheese at the end of the night - and we do actually know what salad is (it's the crap in a plastic bag with your pakora or kebab). And unlike them lot over in Edinburgh, we *won't* ask you if you've had your tea yet.

But we might just headbutt you if you're an arsehole.

Oh, let's just add London to the mix. A miserable, expensive, grotty, infested, snobby, look-down-your-nose city. Give me the excellence of Manchester or the sheer vibrancy of Liverpool any day. Especially Manchester. Those two cities are cities with a soul and a heart. Both of them are perfect in their own way.

Underrated: Cardiff and the entire country of Wales.

Cardiff is so charming and most of the men are dark and handsome.

Wales in general is fucking GORGEOUS! The countryside is lovely!

Overrated - Amsterdam and Paris. Yes, I like the museums of Paris, and Notre Dame...but it leaves me cold otherwise. Just don't like the architecture or the attitude.

Underrated - Glasgow and Brussells

I've loved all of the European cities I have been in, BUT there are quite a few I wouldn't return to. Prague and Barcelona are full of important works of art and amazing architecture and history, but they have become tourist factories. After a couple of days in historic Prague I went out into the burbs for a breather and outside of old town, the city is Reseda with some history.

Ubder rated? II can't get enough of Madrid, Paris, Budapest, Berlin. But that's my taste.

Underrated - Hamburg. Beautiful plus red light district fun. Loved living there.

I'm surprised that a few people said Rome is overrated. I've been there a number of times and can't get enough of the place.

More spectacular than I even dreamed of as a child.

Right, I would get tired of Paris, London or Madrid (in a touristic sense) long before I saw half of what's hidden in and around Rome.

Agree [R47] and [R48]. Some people just don't "get" Rome.

Overrated: Amsterdam, and for the reasons already mentioned.

Underrated: Frankfurt. Yes, the area around the train station and the convention center sucks, and the city center is like a European version of the Chicago Loop without the charm and whimsey, but if you take the time to explore a bit, it's a wonderful city with interesting neighborhoods and lots of parks and green spaces. College kids and foreigners give it a vibe that's like Berlin, but without all the attitude.

Years ago on the Howard Stern Show, Robin described her trip to Amsterdam and it matched what many DL'ers are saying on here. She said it was smaller than she expected.
