Everyone to their own tastes!
You really SHOULD visit Ferrara - it's quiet, you can get around on push-bike, there is the usual assortment of castles and art galleries and of course, amazing food. I spend as much time as I can there .
I have visited the Rijksmuseum many times - most recently a special trip to see the Rembrandt Exhibition - ALL the Rembrandts they own - pictures, sketches, prints - truly amazing.
Calgary - been there as well - nice place but not sure I could take the weather every winter.....................
