Are levelling an alliance fun?

When i pass through alliance specific territories, some of them look extremely fun and different. Medieval castles, cool harbors with boats, exodar looks really exotic. All from Vanilla, to the quest-hubs in Outlands (honor Hold looks especially cool) and Northrend.
Is playing an alliance the same as playing a horde with almost equal questlines, or have i missed something besides different scenery by playing horde?
levelled 2 horde toons to 80, raid on one, raided in TBC and end of Vanilla and have a lvl78 alt also. But feels like i missed a large part of the game, and i enjoy the levelling part, is it worth it to level an alliance from 1-80?

For some reason I always end up in Westfall, Redridge, and Darkshire on my toons. I enjoy the quests and the areas, but many will disagree.
I have vowed to level through the Night Elf areas passed Darkshore sometime, as I always think the scenary looks great. I really do neglect Kalimdor until Tanaris, Un'Goro, and a little taste of Silithus.
I'd say it's worth leveling an Alliance up until level 20, so that you see the starting zones. Once you hit contested, they are very similar, and you will have seen the zones already.

Exodar gives me head pain with all those lights and crystals. And the quests are a lot different. The quest to get the Succubus (for warlocks) show this well. While a Horde warlock need to kill the two last man with pure heart, the alliance warlock need to walk half-world to pick a fruit in a tree in Ashenvale.
But, yes. You missed a lot of the game.

I would say that it is worth it if you care about content at all. If not, then no.
I played Alliance for years and only recently became interested in the lore. Because of that, I decided to roll a Horde character and I have found most of the journey to be interesting.
There will be a point where it doesn't make a whole lot of difference. I'd say that point is probably 40-50. You're mostly doing random tasks and quests that both factions will give. It gets kind of boring in there because you've done these quests as the opposite faction for the most part, or at least very similar versions of them.
Once you hit 50, and get into the 50+ zones, the lore starts to take center stage again.

Same thing as leveling Horde, but with less mud huts.

I found alliance quest chains and running around in territories, and major cities fun.
This one time I started a horde (blood elf tbh) and it just turned out to be boring and certain point.

to tell the truth, not exactly, we dont have alot of "Awsome/epic" quests and we have 2 most abandoned major cities ever known. some of the quests kinda make no sense. so if you are gonna role alliance i'd possibly say role dwarf or gnome those 2 have simaller quests that are better then human/night elf quests, Draenei quests are pretty cool so i'd roll that 2!

I have to say, I dont like most of the alliance starting zones. I really only enjoy Azuremyst and Bloodmyst, since all the quests are kinda close together AND if your lucky, you can snag a nice mask that can sell for up to 35g (depending on your server).
