God no. Dublin is a city of chances and cheats and back stabbing snakes. It is a city where the worst of humanity collects the poison of their country.
If I were to list my top 10 (subjunctive grammar, so don’t expect a list) I’d stack it with cities intended to show how well traveled outside Asia, Africa and South America I was.

I have been to Dublin and Galway. Not much of a fan of Dublin, but did enjoy getting to stay in a professor's room at Trinity when I visited in the summer one year. If I were to include an Irish city I would put Kinsale and Dingle ahead of them. Dingle is one of my favorites spots in the world. I can't argue with 1 through 6, but might move the order around a bit. Haven't been to 7 through 9. Montreal would be up there and Bruges.

I wasn’t in love with Montreal but it was also moth season I guess and the city was covered with them. Swallowed a mouth full more than a few times!
there are very few cities I've visited that I don't like. It would be easier to list those, but I don't want to be negative. But here are some that I like for various reasons, even if I don't have a list of "favorites."
Liverpool is a must visit for Beatles fans.
Several cities in Spain are wonderful for the food and history - Barcelona, Granada, Toledo
Venice is overrun by tourists, but it's pretty special after dark when the day trippers have headed back to the mainland.
Austin is fun, but I suspect it's already too late to enjoy what it was before the world discovered it. That goes double for Nashville which has the best musicians anywhere, but has turned into bachelor/bachelorette party central.
Reykjavik is another city that was probably even cooler before the tourists discovered it, but it's still an amazing place to visit.
Lisbon and Porto -- two more cities to visit before they become tourist hells. Amazing food, great history, wonderful people.
LA -- I don't expect people to agree with me on this, because my reasons are personal. I've traveled there so many times, and I have a lot of friends there, so it feels very comfortable when I visit. And the weather is usually wonderful

I loved Toledo as well. As you say there aren't many cities I wouldn't want to go back to. I didn't like Nicosia in Cyprus and people in Berlin felt a bit cold to me as if they hadn't completely gotten over the Berlin Wall. I'm also not in a rush to go back to Vegas.
Jeez, nobody mentioned one of my very favorite cities: San Francisco. Beautiful city in every way. Culture, sightseeing, dining, drinking, boating, parks, mountains, and close to so much more.
[Hated Paris the two times I was there. I need to visit with a local person, I guess.]
If I were to list my top 10 I would say
1) Rome
2) Paris
3) Barcelona
4) Amsterdam
5) Prague
6) Munich
7) Mexico City
8 Quebec City
9 Vancouver
10 NYC.
