For me it was Brasov in Romania. It was more beautiful than I had expected and really liked the vibes of this medieval city.

Also, the retro electronic scene is so much better in Osaka than Tokyo. I always come back with 2 large suitcases full of LaserDisc and old video game consoles and peripherals.
