Top 5 European cities?

Brussels over other cities that I have visited such as Venice, Paris,
Dublin, Amsterdam, etc. To me, it's sophisticated without being
pretentious. It's not overtly touristy.

Of course it is not. There is absolutely nothing to see there!

Where I would spend my free time...


1. Strasbourg - perfect
2. Prague - pretty though overtouristy
3. Lyon
4. Zürich - nice, but expensive
5. Madrid

London, but its too familiar to me...

Venice
Prague
St Petersburg
Barcelona
Paris

Oddly enough, huge megalopolises like London, Moscow, Istanbul don't
make it into the list, although the Kremlin, Hagia Sophia, and the
Tower are among the most recognizable landmarks of Europe.

Perhaps you're right and I haven't visited enough places but I still
prefer

of
the old.

I was thinking more of the OP's desire for something:
'sophisticated without being pretentious' and 'not overtly touristy'
