Comment: I understand this is a city which is less popular. But I love its amazing contrasts on culture, architecture and scenery.

Nomination

Encounter century-old plazas and churches shadowed by towering skycrapers. Find peaceful treelined bicycle routes cut through by wild-traffic avenues. Bogotá is a city with many layers.

  • Almost support. Some of the museums in See section could be described better. Sleep may need trimming. (WT-en) Jjtk 03:01, 17 April 2012 (EDT)
  • Oppose for now. I love the city too, and I don't think the article yet does it justice. With its size and population, I think it needs to be divided into districts (and I would be happy to help with that task!). --(WT-en) Peter Talk 21:57, 17 April 2012 (EDT)
  • Oppose Agree with Peter that this city needs districts. Plus, Bogata is just way to big to feature this page in its current state without a good map to go with the districts/orientation section and see/do listings. AHeneen (talk) 03:23, 22 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Seems there never was any Central European destination. Krakow is also becoming an unofficial capital of UEFA 2012, without any games played here, but with loads of tourists planning to come to the place.

Nomination

The city of Kraków is in Lesser Poland Lowland, the capital city of the Malopolskie (Lesser Poland or Little Poland) province in the southern region of Poland. It covers both banks of the Wisła (or Vistula) river. Uplands region at the foot of the Carpathian Mountains. It is Poland's second largest city, with a population of 756,000 in 2007 (1.4 million after including surrounding communities).

  • Not yet. The main article is great, but the district articles are all outline—there is extremely little listings content throughout the guide, which limits its usefulness for now. --(WT-en) Peter Talk 20:25, 2 June 2012 (EDT)
  • Oppose. While a great destination, it deserves its time in the spotlight when its districts have become more developed. --Globe-trotter (talk) 01:41, 17 September 2012 (CEST)
  • Not yet. Unfortunately, some of the Eat and Do sections are empty, while others contain bare listings without any descriptions. It should not be difficult to bring this article to the guide status, but some work remains to be done. Atsirlin (talk) 11:51, 17 September 2012 (CEST)

Comment: I love this city and I have been there many times. It is really fascinating which has something for everyone.

Nomination

Tokyo is a fascinating metropolis brings high-tech visions of the future side by side which is only a modest fishing village 500 years ago. You can enjoy shopping malls, nightlifes, electronic blare in morden Tokyo, while enjoy visiting old temples, gardens, pottery shops in Old Tokyo districts. It has something for everyone and you will never be tired travelling in this city.

  • Oppose This article is a mess. Districts have not yet been agreed upon and as it is, there are way too many districts with too little information. This article makes Tokyo seem way more complicated than it is. (WT-en) ChubbyWimbus 09:10, 17 April 2012 (EDT)
  • Oppose. Since it was slushed last time, not enough has been undertaken to fix its overlapping districts. --Globe-trotter (talk) 21:35, 16 September 2012 (CEST)
