Are they fuck. I've been to all three and each one has its pluses and minuses, with more minuses than pluses.

People think Paris is a romantic city, is it bollocks, it's a shithole with some nice attractions. But once you've seen those attractions (Eiffel Tower, Louvre, Notre Dame etc etc) it's back to being a shithole. People who go to Paris and say it's romantic do so because they're going to be rutting like rabbits in an hotel room over a cheap bottle of vin rouge.

London is exactly the same and New York has very very little going for it apart from Broadway.

We all have our own thoughts and interpretations of what is or isn't a great city, but unless we've actually been there to judge for ourselves then we can't really comment.

If I was to choose what my list of great cities would be, then I'd be struggling to think of any apart from Luxor in Egypt, that city truly is a phenomenal place. Rome would be on my list but I haven't been there yet.
