Kao sto vidimo nase Sarajevo je ispred skoro svih Balkanskih gradova ali sasvim sigurno ispred svih ex-Yu gradova. Sarajevo je se oporavilo odlicno nakon rata, i neboderi izbijaju na svakom cosku, a plus to je grad s' velikom tradicijom i historijom. Grad gdje cete na jednom mjestu naci dzamiju,pravoslavnu i katolicku crkvu pa i sinagogu. Grad sa dusom i ponosom.

Bravo za Sarajevo !!

[Saraj Fanático]

Cool! We got 43rd baby!!!! I was very supprised to see Zagreb in 125th place.

Thank's for sharing

[hehehe]

bio sam ja prosle godine u sarajevu, nije los gradic, dosta toga treba da se sredi od rata, ali nije ni 30% blizu beograda, beograd je stvarn grad ipo, plus citao sam vjesti da je beograd grad buducnosti, inace ja sam rodjen u banjaluci.

Gradic :rolleyes: ...ali ok necu da se prepiremo ovdje bezze sada.
Kao sto znamo ljubav i zelja su jedno a realnost i stvarnost su drugo.

To je isto kad su Albanci pricali da je Tirana bolja od Sarajeva,a Tirane nema ni u prvih 200 gradova..

Kao sto vidis Sarajevo je ispred Zagreba,Beograda,Los Angelesa,Lisabona i mnogih drugih vecih i razvijeninijh gradova. Ali fino ti pise da je ovo izbor po......Autori Lonely Planeta izabrali su u kozmopolitskoj monografiji The Cities Book dvjesto najzanimljivijih, najprivlačnijih, najizazovnijih i za život najugodnijih gradova.

Mnogi gradovi ispred kojih je Sarajevo su mnogo razvijeniji, ekonomsko jaci i s' vecom populacijom, ali ljudi su fino objasnili po cemu su oni birali sve to.

U BG imas kriminala kao u cijeloj BIH npr.. i jos mnogih drugih stvari, a biralo je se najzanimljivijih, najprivlačnijih, najizazovnijih i za život najugodniji gradovi i tu je Sarajevo ubjedljivo najjace od svih EX-YU, cak i Balkanskih gradova osim Atine koja je stvarno preljepa i privlacna, mislim suvisno je pricati o Grckoj uopste.

P.S. To sam bas postavio link sa hrvatskog website da nebih bilo nekih zajebancija kao da smo mi to izmislili itd..Pa svidjalo se nekom ili ne Sarajevo je uvijek bilo jedan od najatraktivnijih gradova u Evropi, zbog burne historije i ljepote tog grada, pa i svega ostalog uopste tu u toj dolini :)).

[Panathinaikos2]

Hmm.. I disagree with some of the cities in their but never the less congratulations.

[ItalianBoy]

Best according to what specifically.

[ulster21]

Bangkok, Capetown, Hanoi???? Is this a joke??

[alchemist]

i take it that this is an old list cause i don't see post-Hurricane Katrina New Orleans being the 39th best city in the world

[ARBANITAI]

OK this looks like a joke to me, How can great cities like Las Vegas be 46th place and Los Anglese stand on the 49th place...!!!

and Bangkok, Capetown, Hanoi be like better place !!! :faint2: :lol:

heheh truly unbeliveble :D

[ulster21]

I think this list is a little more accurate: http://www.citymayors.com/features/quality_survey.html
It measures cities with the best quality of life.

Cool , I live in the 13th Best city according to best quality of live. :smoking:

Bosnian Unit, No doubt that Sarajavo is a beautifull city
But your list doesn't make much sense, how is it ordened, according to what
population, quality of live, geographical size,...?
plus that's from a croatian website, So I don't really think it's a reliable source

[philipas]

Bangkok, Capetown, Hanoi???? Is this a joke??

why not? coz they're not european?

Cape Town is a magical city by all accounts, the setting by the sea and mountain, great architecture etc

Bangkok I've been to. It is a happening place, but not a favourite of mine

Hanoi was very famous in ol'times with a strong French influence.

I'd like to know the criteria that decides the list.

My top twenty would go like this - that I've been to

1. Paris - grand and beautiful
2. Melbourne - most livable
3. Madrid - never sleeps
4. Barcelona - pumping, stylish
5. Seville - beautiful party town
6. Rome - history and beauty
7. Tokyo - fun, safe, exciting, modern
8. Montreal - charm of its own
9. Vienna - classy, cultured
10. Berlin - cutting edge, diverse
11. Amsterdam - :smoking:
12. NYC - enormous
13. Boston - character
14. Athens - sentimental, history, the vibe
15. Krakow - like Prague but friendlier
16. Istanbul - history, atmosphere
17. Bath - perfect little city
18. Bologna - secret beauty
19. Sydney - harbour is amazing
20. San Sebastian - little Paris by the sea IMHO

[ulster21]

why not? coz they're not european?

No, because they have high crime rates, low wages for its residences, & no economic stability.

How the hell do you find the time to visit all of these places? How old are you?

[Gerasim]

Everybody is forgetting Milano

The city with the most beautifull woman :D

[philipas]

No, because they have high crime rates, low wages for its residences, & no economic stability. WRONG!!!

[philipas]

Everybody is forgetting Milano

The city with the most beautifull woman :D that's a myth....and hate to say it except for the duomo and galleria it's rather disappointing, but the people are cool and there's a good club scene

"The world's top 55 cities offering the best quality of life"

All of these are big cities, and I don't see how they can offer people the best quality of life. I lived in Seattle, WA USA and that is like the most expensive place in the world. Personally I find smaller places to give people a better quality of life and its def better for kids to grow up in smaller places.

I agree.

[philipas]

How the hell do you find the time to visit all of these places? How old are you? hehehe...jealous are we?? I took a year off between university. It's a common thing for australians to do, backpack around the world, especially to Europe. I must admit I only had a quick look at most places. Also I've travelled a lot with my father for his work....and yes i'm still in my early twenties...:smoking:

[ItalianBoy]

Sorry but you are not right. Milano given his huge party life and loads of clubs has loads of hot girls (like the rest of Italy and Europe).
I think it is because girls in Italy care more for themselves unlike in USA for example where some girls who have potential just act goth and look like crap.

I never trust this "best this best that". Best for? Everyone has different opinions.

I agree 100% !!

As we can see Sarajevo is front of Los Angeles,Las Vegas,Belgrade,Zagreb or even much bigger,economicly stronger cities,with few millions more population then Sarajevo.

But just imagine how much crime those cities have, and all other stuff.
Sarajevo is not like that, im not saying they dont have crime up there but not like those cities i mentioned.

To live in Sarajevo is not expensive, its beautiful city with a lot of history and one of the only cities in the World, where you can find mosque, chatolic and ortodox church and synagoge.

Infrastructire is beautiful with historic Otoman buildings,and 21st century European/World skyscrapers.

Population is 400.000+ and its not even crowded city, with trafic and things like those much bigger and know cities. And you wont find there from 100-200.000 homeless like in Los Angeles for example. But you will find Chinese resturants and all other stuff just like there ;) !!

[ItalianBoy]

Sorry man, but I live in Las Vegas and I can tell you that LA and the others might have high crime rate, but not Las Vegas and Vegas for sure has a lower crime rate than Sarajevo. For one thing, LA is huge so you can not compare it to Vegas or Sarajevo. Vegas has 1.6 million people (compared to LA 18 million) and we have more police per average than any city in the world. If you tell me LA I agree, Compton ain't what you call safe. :D

I was compering LA(and simular cities) and Sarajevo, i dont know much about Las Vegas, but i know the one thing, its the city that never sleeps:drum: :) !!

[ItalianBoy]

Yep... you GOOOOT it. :D

They say this about every city, it is just a marketing ploy to get more people to vacation in that city.

Sorry but you are wrong.

Yeah and Italia has lower crime rate also :boo: you are a special specimen "italian boy":lol:

[Centarfor9]

Sarajevo 43rd in a world "forget about it"
Ps:Sad bih pasao Sarajevski Burek i cevapi

[nb-legenda]

sarajevos the best. no offense to cities like Paris... but your stinking drinks cost like 20 euros for one glass.

[1bosnian]

i would pobably say the one reason and the important reason that sarajevo is ahead of las vegas on that list is because life in las vegas is too expensive..and most people that live their they are either a star or a stripper!!!lol...but sarajevo is a place where u can afford to live and have fun...and a lot of history,the most thing sarajevo is famous for in history is when arch duke franz ferdinand got assinated on the one bridge in sarajevo

Yup and then WW1 happend... =D Thank you Gavrilo Princip
If it wasn't for you there would never be a Yugoslavia!!!

[nb-legenda]

not just that guys, but you have to admit Sarajevo is a beautiful city. the natures around with the mountains and the river that cuts through and some amazing architecture and buildings.

[1bosnian]

yea and in a few years u will see pyramids in visoko very close to sarajevo that will be one reason too guys!!!!

[Wabbit]

16. Buenos Aires, Argentina

:D

[Saraj Fanático]

Sarajevo is just perfect for me. Its just so fun to be living someplace where you can afford to live and just hang out. Sarajevo is the perfect size and everything. You can get to know what and where everything is and just enjoy the city. For me its the best city in the world off course.

[Wabbit]

Man u r in love with ur city, thats just awesome :D

I am with mine and with my entire country :D

[nb-legenda]

yeah I've heard great things about Buenos Aires and that its the purest city in the Americas

[nb-legenda]

Sarajevo is great because there are 2 cross-city rivals Sarajevo-Zeljeznicar, home of the Kosevo where you can watch national and league games and its so easy to live there since everythings affordable. prices arent ridiculous like in Paris you have to pay 80 euros just to eat at a resaurant and the food in Sarajevo is awesome! Nice skyline, river, landscape... you can ski, fish, anything you want... plenty of soccer unlike here in America, you have to pay in order to play in a stadium. Usually its nice people, awesome night and day life, you can walk everywhere instead of using stupid SUVs in America and drive 10 miles to the store. Transportation system is awesome, culture is great, nothing really wrong with the city. maybe there might be racism with Croats, Serbs, and Bosniaks, but thats controlled by the police and I usually see them getting along well

[Wabbit]

yeah I've heard great things about Buenos Aires and that its the purest city in the Americas

Well..........if u heard that then must be truth :D

haha it actually is an amazing city to bad is full of porteños...:lol:

[Wabbit]

Sarajevo is awesome! Nice skyline, river, landscape... you can ski, fish, anything you want... plenty of soccer unlike here in America

Dude America is not a country is a continent

USA-> country
americans-> USA citizenship
America-> Continent

3 completly different things ;)

I dont pretend to be annoying but I can't not clear that up :D

[Pr0s]

I thought North America was a continent and when he says America, i think he means the United States of America

[1bosnian]

@B-RABBIT whats porteños?

[())__Green__))>]

wow lots of stupid people on here
they do the research on how great the places are.. culture.. history.. and so on
it doesnt have to mean that las vegas has iunno millions of people and sarajevo has 500,000 people and that las vegas is better
if you really believe that then answer this.. what is so special about las vegas and what makes las vegas better than sarajevo?? hookers? casino? drunken idiots?
las vegas has nothing in comparison to sarajevo
sarajevo is just a beautiful city by itself and with its rich history and culture makes it a great city..

[Wabbit]

@B-RABBIT whats porteños?
Porteños r the ones that live in Buenos Aires :D

Almost no one likes them, they r all way too arrogant. Like ppl in NY and in London

[1bosnian]

oh ok thx just wondered what it was

[nb-legenda]

guys guys... if you have to use an F'ing car for everything you do... the city is trash. las vegas is just a plastic model, and it looks great from the outside... hohoho... wait till you get in there. once you go on vacation there and come back home, you already lost your wallet. and you know what they say, whatever happens in vegas stays in vegas

[Wabbit]

oh ok thx just wondered what it was
Sure anytime :)

[Dinoinho]

Is there Teriyaki in Sarajevo hehehe, I read a Bosnia Unit's post about the Chinese restaraunt's.

[Fenerliyim]

man istanbul is 100x greater than any city mentioned here
