Second Chances: Where Would you Like to Revisit?
Posted on 18. May, 2010 by Steph in Inspiration
Some places you leave knowing you’ll never return (at least voluntarily). Other places just keep calling you back again and again.
There seem to be two major schools of thought vis-à-vis revisiting places you’ve been before. They are:
- The “Life’s too Short” People- There are so many interesting things in the world to see that you can’t possibly get around to them all. There’s no point dwelling on ground you’ve already covered when you could be exploring brave new worlds.
- The “Quality over Quantity” People- Why mess with what you already know you enjoy? Sure it’s good to branch out a little, but if Spain is what you love, stick to Spain.
Prague in the Fall
I, of course, am conflicted. I’ve been visiting London over and over for years now and I can’t seem to get enough of it. Seeing Big Ben and the gherkin is like visiting old friends and yet I still feel different and learn something new every single time I walk along the Thames. I adore that city and will never, ever pass up an opportunity to visit.
On the other hand, outside of England there aren’t very many places I’ve been more than once. At this point in my life I’m far more focused on seeing new parts of the world than returning to the ones I already know.
Zagreb Opera House
Still, in the back of my head, there is a list of places I need to get back to. These places are all very different, and my reasons for needing a second encounter vary. Among them:
- The place I didn’t give enough time: Zagreb
That one hurried evening in Croatia’s beautiful capital before I rushed to catch a bus left me intrigued and wholly unsatisfied.
- The place I may have misjudged: Prague
The rainy November weather and bickering travel companions may have clouded my judgment on this city that everyone but me seems to love.
- The place where I felt a connection: Rome
If London is my favorite European city, Rome is a close second. Even though it was late December, my time in Rome felt like constant sunshine. I’d love to go back and soak up some more.
Other places I’d add to the list: Amsterdam (never did see the red light district- that’s a story for another time), Puerto Rico, and Edinburgh. I’m sure that as I continue to travel this list will only grow, until one day I get around to making a second round.

Bali, first time travelling and it was my first stop outside of Australia, I didn’t leave Kuta and I despised the place for so many reasons. I know there is so much more beyond Kuta and I’m disappointed I missed it so I will head back. Still even the thought of passing through Kuta makes me feel dirty, I really hate the place that much.

I think nearly everywhere I’ve visited I want to go back too. Unless I live there or spend a lot of time somewhere I always leave feeling like I saw it all but did I really experience it? did I get to the heart of it!? The countries high on my list to revisit are Albania, Croatia and Greece and Slovenia. I regret not seeing more in Paris but I think for me Paris is one of those cities that if I’m close by I’ll always think may as well take a side trip to Paris! Also Naples, revisit Pompeii, got wizzed around so fast it’s all a blur!

i would love to go back to thailand. even though i had the best time partying on the beaches of ko tao, ko phi phi and ko phangan, i never really ventured beyond the main strip.
i would love to go back and eat more papaya salad in local eateries with no menues. i’d like to walk into the forests faraway from the guesthouses, and explore more places outside of the “farang” frequented areas.
if i had a second chance at thailand, i’d spend less time consuming buckets and more time visiting different parts of the islands by longtail boat or rented scooter.
and even less time sleeping/recovering.

What a great post!
The place where I haven’t spent nearly enough time: NYC. But it’s close enough to me (Boston) that I can visit easily.
The place I’d like to see under better circumstances: Capri. I loved Capri, but I didn’t get to see its best attraction, the Blue Grotto, because the waves were too choppy that weekend.
The place I’d like to see at night: Milan. I’ve sped through there a few times, but I’d really like to hit the legendary club scene.
The place I return to over and over: Las Vegas. Like anyone didn’t know that already. :-p

Great post! It got me thinking about past travel and, well, it’s really hard to pinpoint just one place. But…if I had to choose it would be Leh in northwestern India. My husband and I did a three night trek up to the peak of Stok Kangri. He made it to the summit, while I only made it to the second base camp. I had to give up due to altitude sickness.
He summited a 6,137 meter (21,035 ft) peak while I had to lay in my tent too sick to eat.
Yes, if I were to go back anywhere it would be to that peak – slowly this time, to ensure I could stand with him on that mountain.

Although I’m a bit biased since I lived there for five years, I’d definitely give Prague another go. Let me know if you’re going so that I can steer you away from those awful souvenir streets that have taken over parts of the old town.
There are so many places I’d like to revisit – our list of things to do only seems to get larger after we spend time in a place. Georgia, Tajikistan, Nepal, India, Peru and Guatemala are all places I’d like like to revisit and spend more time to learn about different regions.

I’m on both sides of the fence here. There’s so many places I want to go, yet, there’s places I’ve fallen in love with and would love to go back. In fact my upcoming trip (halfway round the world – I’m travelling to Canada the long way from Australia on a working holiday) – I’m planning to spend some time rediscovering Croatia and Bosnia, which I loved on the first visit, yet adding in some new places as well, and seeing things I missed the first time.
Over the years I’ve been to Vienna (which would be my favourite city in Europe) about 5 times, often just on the way to somewhere else, but I can always stop for a day or two and see something new, and London is somewhere that I’ll always find something to do, even if just for family and friends, and revisiting the places I loved when I lived there.
Places I really want to go back to? Croatia, Moscow, Spain, New York, Turkey… plus lots more!
For me – the key is mixing it up a bit.
Steph

Croatia and Bosnia are definitely on my list to return to as well!

India for sure. We spent 6 weeks in India at the end of our year long RTW trip. Our thoughts were that we would be professional travels and would be able to more easily adapt to the chaos that is India. While part of that was true, we were also tired and ready for some comforts of home after being on the road for so long. It’s not that I didn’t like India, it’s just that I was so tired of the annoyances that travel sometimes brings, that India was probably not the best place for me to be at that time. I know it deserves another chance, and I can’t wait to go back someday.

The first time I went to Mexico I got left behind by the group I was traveling with. That soured Mexico for me. The second time I went back motivated by the person I was going with and I LOVED it, so much it left me wanting more – now I want to go back to Mexico once a month! Ha!
Another place I’ve loved but want to go back to is the England outside of London. London was great, but the countryside had SO much history and all I really did was drive through, get out and stop for food once in a while. I’d want to go back, take a loooong journey through all of the United Kingdom outside London…including stops in Ireland and Scotland of course!!

I can think of very few places that I have been that I don’t want to go back to, especially because I’m usually only in a place for a week or two at most. Every place I travel to and love – Cartagena, Buenos Aires and Mendoza, Cinque Terre, San Sebastian, etc, etc – goes on my “to return to someday” list. Unfortunately, that list is still dwarfed by the “places I haven’t been yet and want to go to” list, so for now, I’m concentrating more on seeing new places, with the occasional stop somewhere familiar.
For example, when I do return to Italy, I’ll probably schedule a few days in Cinque Terre, but then visit other cities I haven’t seen yet. And I’ll combine a few days in San Sebastian, Spain with my trip to southern France.

I would love to go back to Tibet to go further and enjoy the landscape and the company of pilgrims for a longer period of time. This year i’ll be in Shanghai for the 2nd time and i guess it’s good if you learn to see a place differently. When you visit for the 2nd time you don’t feel so much as a turist, you can enjoy the place better because you already know how to move around and don’t feel the cultural difference so much. There are a lot of places i want to go back to, but it’s not easy to decide if i’ll go somewhere new or repeat a good experience. I was once in Morocco and hated it and when i went back, a few years later, i loved it and i’m planning to retur. Among 2nd visits, being Tibet nr 1, i’d go back to Turkey, Cambodia,and Italy.
Congrats on your blog – although i don’t comment often, i read every article with great pleasure.

I feel like doing a similar post.
Maybe one day you can live in London, and then just use that as a launch pad for other places? Seems a good focal point.
I’d redo Paris, since I only spent a few hours there. And I’d go back to Ireland, but get out of Dublin (which you’ve heard me rant about more than once, I’m sure)

Stephanie – It seems that my answers are the complete opposite of yours. After living in Prague for 4 months I find that is comes close to my favorite city which also happens to be London. If you ever get around to revisiting I can provide a bit of “insight” into what I found spectacular…During my travels to Rome I feel like I lost a bit of the history amongst the crowds, tourists, and modernization of the city. On the same track I think I need to give Florence another chance too…
Steph

I definitely think Prague deserves another shake. I was a pretty newbie traveler then- learned a lot from my mistakes!

Montreal, I went there for spring break in the first week of March, and I want to return there, preferably in the summer, and get out of Montreal, to Quebec City and others that I haven’t done yet. It was the first solo trip outside of USA that I did and I really loved the place.
But there’s 2 other places I want to return to, and I didn’t get to see all when I went to those places the first time, partly because I was stuck in a school group. Italy and Greece. Plus it would be easier for me to navigate Italia because I learned Italiano this year in college.
I do want to touch other places though. Loves to travel.

Rome and Zurich! I would live in Swtizerland in a heartbeat.
I’m lucky enough to be married to an Irishman so I get to go back to Ireland almost every year. I’ve seen a lot of the smaller towns outside of Dublin, but I’d like to go to the north and southeastern corner. Seen Galway, Cork, and Dingle on the west and southwest. I happen to enjoy Dublin, except for the early shop closing times.

I wrote a post along these lines a couple of months ago, about the ‘one place’ that you’d return to above any other.
For me, it was Malawi – such an incredible place with amazing people. It really changed my view of the world for the few days I was there, and I’d love to go back and spend a lot, lot longer…

I’ve had the same conflict about revisiting a place. But one place I cannot get enough of is Paris. Like your connection with Rome, Paris is my second city. There is just a soul there that draws me in. Luckily my partner loves it just as much.
Two places I didn’t give enough time were Madrid and Dublin, even though I loved both.

This is so great, I’ve had the two schools of thought discussion with so many people…most often with a friend of mine who’s been to Italy 11 times and I’m on the opposite end of the spectrum in the Life’s Too Short camp.
There are definitely places I loved (SPAIN!!) but so far I just can’t seem to go back to a place I’ve been before because I’m worried about missing out on something new!

Finland. Granted, it’s the only place not in America that I’ve visited, but it’s a place that I’d really like to spend more time in, when my schedule isn’t dictated by school-work, or a significant other. I got a great overview, seeing most of the country in a small amount of time – but didn’t get to spend a lot of time in any one place.

•The place I didn’t give enough time: Austria
Fresh air, the green Alps, gorgeous views. I must go back, a couple of days was never going to be enough.
•The place I may have misjudged: Mozambique
A lifted wallet, corrupt border officials and scamming money changers within two hours of entering the country left a sour taste in my mouth. Although I loved the rest of my trip, another one is on order to put those bad memories to bed.
•The place where I felt a connection: Galway
This fantastic university town on Ireland’s West coast stole my heart. The people, scenery and general ‘happiness’ the place exuded captivated me.

I feel very lucky that I’ve fallen in love with every city I’ve visited (with the exception of Berlin) and would be willing to go back to any–especially Munich, Interlaken, Budapest or Florence! However, I’m going to try and knock out my top 10 I want to see for the first time before I double back

I have two kinds of places I go back to.
1) Places where I had a bad first impression that wasn’t the city’s fault. First time in Paris, all the museums and the garbage collectors were on strike. So it was stinky and nothing to do.
2) Places I just enjoy being.
Another vote for Croatia. I never get enough of Italy either. I also go back to Prague and Vienna regularly. Oh and NYC.
Going back to places at different times of years with different people are like going to different cities.

I have to go back to Estonia one day. My first trip ever outside of the country was there in 1995 and 1996. I am sure a lot has changed but I wouldn’t have the desire to travel if I hadn’t gone there in college. Something inside of me stirred – a passion I never even knew I had. It was a divine trip for me, in many ways. Estonia will always hold a special place in my heart. Your “first” always does.

Sevilla, Spain. I studied abroad here and I loved it.
Granted it might not be the same going back, but there is just something about the Andalusian lifestyle. Maybe it is better to live than visit? However, I worry that if I went back it would not be the same and the romantic nature of the city would be lost. Perhaps it would be better to state that I wish to travel back in time to when I was there before and live it again, in my early 20s. As you can see, I am conflicted between the desire to revisit and the worry of (to quote Thomas Wolfe) You can’t go home again.

It’s so hard to decide which places I’d like to revisit. Venice, Tuscany, Prague and Santorini come to mind. I went to Venice in late December, and it was drizzly and cloudy all three days when I was there, so I’d like to give it another try. Tuscany was beautiful and I would love to spend more time traveling around the small towns. And Prague and Santorini are both beautiful and really left an impression on me. I’m definitely one of those who LOVED Prague and think you should give it another try!

Also loved Budapest and would love to go back there. Another city I went to, but we only stopped in for a few hours, was Bratislava. The people were so friendly, and although it was freezing, it was beautiful.

I know what you mean about London. I feel that way with Italy. Despite revisiting countless times, I am still not finished with the country. I would love to revisit Luxembourg. I spent just one night in Vianden, right near the German border. The lush green hills and castles atop them intrigued me, instilling that notion that I had to spend more time exploring the country. Many places in Europe I visited as a kid, from 8 to 14 years old. While I remember the experiences, I was young and now crave to return with my older eyes.

Prague is always on there because I have loved it for 14 years, yet there are still plenty of things I haven’t done there. As others have said, I think if you go back and have a few days there, you will love it, too. Then again, everyone is different!

Fes, Morocco is a choice favorite I’d like to revisit.
Before heading to this landed inhabited by Muslims, my parents and friends were telling me not to go. They said it was dangerous.
Regardless of the outcome, my girlfriend and two guy friends were determined to go; we knew it would be an experience (good or bad) either way. In fact, my girlfriend and I were prepared to wear long sleeve shirts and pants (exposing as little skin as possible), avoiding eye contact with men and only speaking when spoken to.
The trip itself was short lived , only a long weekend, but it was the best travel experience I encountered during my semester abroad in 2006. The Muslims were the most hospitable people I had encountered, the food was amazing, the culture was peaceful, La Medina was mysteriously beautiful. It was a world completely opposite from what our family and friends warned us about – it was perfect.
Although we were invited to dinner with a variety of Muslim people (even though they were in the middle of their traditional Ramadan), we declined – the one thing I regret from the trip. I’d love to return to Fes, Morocco and really dive into the culture. See where these people live and how they live and create a cultural exchange via dialogue.
Hopefully, someday, I will return. I’m still torn, too – having a list of places I’d like to go before I return to places I have been…but, it’s still on my list!

That said, I absolutely loved Prague. 5 days wasn’t enough. I would like to go back for a longer amount of time (maybe live there for a bit?) There’s even a famous stature on the bridge…it is said that if you rub the image of the dog, you are destined to return to the city. I didn’t hesitate to rub it.
Still waiting for fate to send me back.

I’m probably more prone to head somewhere new as well, but there are definitely places that deserve a couple of thorough visits.

I would give Paris a second chance. I was sick when I visited, and I didn’t have as good of a time as I expected.
I love Amsterdam! I’ve visited it 3 times, and I loved it every time! So much art and culture.
I would revisit New York. There was so much to do, and I was only there for three days. I didn’t get to see a broadway and I didn’t get to the top of the Empire State. I would also love to see this place in the summer and fall. I went during winter and the trees on central park were bald. They were still pretty though.

I was in Spain 3 months and that was not nearly enough. I would need at least six months there to be close to satisfied. I definitely need to give Madrid a take 2. But then again it is Spain, obviously so much to see.

I definitely long to go back to Spain- I’ve only been to Madrid!
