I have only been to three cities of this article: London (England), Rome (Italy), Dubai (United Arab Emirates).
I visited these cities with my wife some years ago. Our favourite one is Dubai due to its high contrasts between the poor neighborhoods and the so modern buildings.

Barcelona is the easiest city for me to visit, because it’s located in my country (Spain). We would like to go there the next year with our two children.
Any other city that requires some hours by plane is hard for me now. My children are still very small and they can’t be more than two hours travelling without a break.
