    Funnily enough, Groningen is the only city where people don't assume I'm German. I'm from Antwerp, Belgium. And I absolutely love the vibe in Groningen. People are extremely nice up there and it's not too hard to get outside of the city and find some lush countryside views. Perfect balance if you ask me.

    • @DarkAngelEU
      @DarkAngelEU Před 4 lety +1

      Amsterdam is the second worse after Rotterdam. Rotterdam is just way too windy, lots of junkies, Amsterdam is full of wannabe's and annoying British tourists.

      @@fntatn It really depends on the city and the tourists, I find. If they're visually present, like druggies in Amsterdam or couples in shorts with cameras strapped around their neck in Greece, it will take away some of your authentic experience of the place because they keep distracting you from what the location provides. A place like Berlin, or New York, where people often just roam around and aren't visibly tourist-y, I'd say it can definitely add to the atmosphere and the pleasure of meeting fellow natives in such a faraway location suddenly becomes surprising instead distracting :)
