Sure, but you can describe what attracts you to Porto, right?
It being stacked up the sides of a river valley, traversing it by zig-zag staircases, not knowing what's a ruin, the Brazilian cultural backwash...
I guess to me, dramatic natural settings of cities tend to serve as attractants to people throughout time, leading to the mix of influences, which leads to the sensory percepotions that make our time spent there rich in one form or another.
Berlin? There's nothing great about it, but it's great nonetheless... for some reason.
