Sorry that I am seeing this but it comes under Munich....I apologise so I will put up a new City.......

It was Odessa Ukraine....

[Framling 1]

Odessa.

My mother was born there in a bizarre twist of fate, but that's not how I know (I just ran a methodic search)

Do I get to propose the next one?

sorry then it is Kyrenia because you see the mountains from the other side. In the south cities it is impossible to see Egypt. lol

[Ny24 0]

no

[Framling 1]

The European city looks Greek, but it could also be somewhere else in the Balkans...

The Asian city is tricky - the flag in the propaganda posters is the Pan-Arabic one, serving for a host of countries in the Middle East. Only Yemen has the flag without any additional decals in the middle bar, but the city does not look like Sana'a at all...

[awake_78 0]

so for the european is then even Paphos or Larnaca. As for the I would say Beirut or Tel Aviv...

[Ny24 0]

awake_78 is correct please answer the Asian one at the Asian Version....Also Framling is in the right country for the Asian city......

New European City to Guess.......

Framling sure made it tough. And the picture is very... blue. I'm sure I've seen that picture before. I have no idea where though. Is it in Germany?

[Ny24 0]

No

[Gozer_Jep 0]

it's warsaw i believe. it's a building, or more a roof above a square, between buildings

[Framling 1]

Oooooh, I've missed Koeln... That one was SO EASY!

Mine was easy too, I forgot to ask Ny24 not to tell it's from the humble myself... It's the Z?ote Tarasy (literally: Golden Terraces) shopping centre spanking right in the middle of Warsaw. If you arrive by train (and force yourself to get off at the disgusting, in every way, Central Station), that's more or less the first thing you see.

This photo is hardly attractive (and I assure you, it looks rather neat in person, see other photos plenty of which are online), but you can see the bubbly glazing of the terraces (the "terraces" in question refer to the different levels of the shopping mall covered by the bulbous roof; "golden" just sounds better than "blue").

The thing at the bottom of the photo is not a Star Destroyer docking to restock at the Carrefour at -1, it's the roof of the infamous Central Station.

Sorry Framling.......New City....

[Framling 1]

Dubrovnik

What do I win?

[DominikS 0]

Ah, Warsaw! And I'm from Poland... terrible, isn't it? Well, I've never been to Warsaw in my life, so it's not THAT bad. Anyway, it looks meditteranean. By the sea. It looks very nice. I have no idea where it is though.

[Ny24 0]

Framling is correct.....Framling gets to put up the next city well done....

[Framling 1]

Dominiku, no wiesz co! Stolicy w?asnej nie pozna?!

I understand I get to post the next city, which is coming right through, I am looking for a good pic....

MEANWHILE

I will make up for a little omission - Ny24 did not put up the mandatory Tourist Board video for Warsaw. So, here I go:

Here's a combo somebody made from the best "artsy" photos of the city centre available online. It only presents a fraction of the city's landmarks and sights, and the music is crappy (it doesn't even run until the end of the vid). I recommend listening to one of your favorite songs while watching:

This one offers a more "pedestrian" view, with more variety and a SLIGHTLY better selection of music.

[Framling 1]

OK, so here's my riddle - this European city survived many ups and down, having been at the heart of most of the continent's turbulent history. It is most renowned for its lavish historic buildings.

Which is why I chose this picture:

It contains all the clues you need. I do hope it will last more than 15 minutes

[jotauveefe 24]

the old city was dubvronik?

[Ny24 0]

Thanks Framling. I like your new style.

Im now a Sightseer coindciedence seeming that I am doing a guess the City game with videos of the Sights....
