Parking a motorhome

As cities go I don't mind York, Chester or Worcester, but they are not really more  than big towns anyway. The one city I would like to return to is Stockholm, but it would have to be with a local as a guide, just as it was last time we visited.

Returning to the OP  its not  access to towns and cities that has kept us from going down the motorhome route with its obvious advantages for ease of travel, its more the more mundane aspects such as shopping and space and comfort on long stays. However we have visited many of the great cities of Europe simply by selecting a site with public transport links and if its towns and  cities you are particularly interested in it makes little difference whether you MH or caravan.

St David’s is lovely. Unique in terms of City size, but has more of interest than many huge cities. I had a week at Twr Y Felin Adventure Centre back in the early 90’s, superb week. Although I recall being immersed in water for most of it!😁

I want to go back to Athens again. I was too young to appreciate most of what I was looking at really, but will never forget the Acropolis.......nor having my brand new gold bracelet taken off my wrist in the Plaka☹️ Insurance covered it though.

Athens is definitely on our future plans to visit.

I can fully understand your reasons to wishing to return as what we see/ appreciate when we are much younger is different as we get older with more time.

I'm not criticising but I what do find harder to understand is those who return to places they know well and have seen 80% of rather than exploring new places. Last year we visited Rome (4 days), Pisa ( 11/2 days) and have previously visited  Venice ( 2 days) and Florence  (3 or 4 days) which were all fantastic and I'm sure we have not seen every single area of interest, however we are highly unlikely to ever visit again preferring to  search for new cities in Italy or wherever.

We seem to have drifted away from the original discussion.
