Londonderry has been named as one of the world's best cities to visit in 2013.
Guidebook company Lonely Planet placed the Northern Ireland city as high as fourth in a top 10 cities list in its Best In Travel 2013 publication, saying:: "Londonderry is the UK City of Culture 2013, which means this vibrant historic walled city is undergoing a renaissance."
Lonely Planet's Tom Hall added: "Best in Travel is all about identifying destinations which offer the traveller something special. Derry is a brilliant example of a city that has bounced back from difficult times. This is a city with heart, which shines through in its exciting arts and music scene."

Have you ever been ?
A beautiful vibrant city, I walk it a few nights a week, strangers nod and say hello and smile.
Granted every big City has it's Chavs (or Muckers as we call them here) but do not talk down a place before you give it a chance.
2013 should be something special here.I am trying, honest;) very trying according to my dear OH:rotfl:0 -
I worked there for years actually!! I'm just surprised it topped the 'worlds' best cities!!Wealth is what you're left with when all your money runs out0

Halloween next week too. London/derry is the place to celebrate.
(Needless to say I'm staying clear. I drove down the Strand Road once early-ish evening one Halloween and swore never again! :eek:)
EDIT:
And I'm well aware your makeup comment does not refer only to Halloween

Reports last week placed a young woman in the center of the City wearing jeans and a hoodie… she was quickly set upon by a large crowd who striped, spray tanned her, highlighted her hair, dressed her to the nines and stillettoed her feet, order was quickly restored :rotfl:
YES, all preconceptions of slap wearing are 100% correct I am trying, honest;) very trying according to my dear OH:rotfl:0 -
Some really do epitomise the term "slapping it on with a trowel"!
Is it something they teach the young girls in the schools down there?
Either that or they are all somehow David Dickinson fans0 -
