Which city do you prefer, Athens or Sparta? why

According to my query about "Athens" on Baidu Encyclopedia:

Athens (Greek: α θ? ν α) is the capital and largest city of the Greek Republic, located at the southern tip of the Balkan Peninsula, with a subtropical Mediterranean climate. As of 2008, the population of Athens was 7455 14. The total urban area is 4 12km? It is the eighth largest city in Europe and one of the commercial centers of the European Union. [2]

Athens has a recorded history of more than 3,000 years and is known as the "cradle of western civilization". [2] Athens is also the birthplace of European philosophy, which has a great influence on European and world culture. A large number of great historical figures such as Socrates and Plato were born, which is called the birthplace of democracy. [3] Athens still retains many historical sites and a large number of works of art, the most famous of which is the Parthenon in the Acropolis, which is regarded as a symbol of western culture. The cultural and political achievements in the 5th and 4th centuries BC had a great influence on European and world cultures [4].

Athens is the birthplace of the modern Olympic Games [2], and held the first Summer Olympic Games [5] and the 28th Summer Olympic Games in 1896 and 2004 respectively. [6]

On February 26th, 20 19, 19, it ranked 89th in the list of the top 500 global cities in 20 19.
