Well done Hull, it's already on my list of to visit, you're up there with some good cities, sadly I've not visited any of them.  So it looks like I'll be adding to my travel list.

Anyone visited all of them?

If anyone is thinking of a visit I would go to Hull next year for thr City ofCulture as at the moment the New Theatre and Ferens Art Gallery are closing for refurbishment and the streets are being upgraded. However if you can't wait it is still worth going not just for the city but the surrounding area. The coastline from Spurn point to Scarborough is great and the countryside which includes the Yorkshire Wolds ( Hockney country (artist) ) is wonderful and of course the Yorkshire Moors. What more could anyone want.

I had the same ignorant misconception of Liverpool as some folk have of Hull, then I visited Liverpool & realised I had been stupid & based all my preconceived notions from ideas formed decades earlier. The Hull of 20-30yrs ago is not the same Kingston-upon-Hull of today & it will be different again by 2017. I live 12miles from Hull & everytime I visit I see it has changed, changes for the better. The only way to have a true opinion of anywhere is to visit that place-then you will no longer be ignorant as I wasHappy

We done the same we visited Liverpool many years ago and saw it in a bad light. We then avoided it at all cost for many years until last year when we thought we would try it again and we loved it. The Albert Dock area was brilliant with many trendy bars and restaurants. We will definetly return to Liverpool sometime soon. We have only ever driven through Hull on our way to the ferry but will try and visit the city at some point.

There are many cities through out Britain that are worth visiting however, you need to be careful where you go, I am very cautious when visiting certain parts of London. Again Liverpool, Manchester and I would presume Hull have places that need caution.

For years Kingston upon Hull has only been known as a place to enter the country or a departure point, its the A63 as soon as possible when leaving the port to 'a' destination. Let's hope visitors will dally a while as it has many attractions on offer.

Ehm... I live in the Yorkshire Wolds.
The rolling green Wolds, the jewel sea on the horizon, beaches, culture, good food and quiet roads.
I can assure you it is truly awfull, please stay away.
Thank you.

Hull...  My jury's still out.
It certainly isn't offensive, safe and pleasant enough when compared with other regional UK cities (I do get arround a bit)
Stay a day or so by all means.

But top 10 world destination?
Edinburgh, York, London, heck even Leeds may be.
Hull ?  er no.
