In the context of my actually being in Hiroshima, I think I could say

> すごいすごい。初めてです、広島は。

to mean "`This is my first time in Hiroshima`".

  * Is this correct?
  * Is that natural Japanese? 
  * Do the gratuitous "`すごい`"s enhance the context?

Somehow helps clarify what I'm trying to say?

But, this would not sound ok at all?

> 花粉症が酷くて、暑くて、初めてです、Floridaは

**addendum**  
I'm now thinking that my assertion is groundless. My speaking is somewhat
modeled after _キキ_ in `魔女の宅急便`. She is always so positive. Being negative when
you visit a place just sounds unnatural to me. In any event, who am I to say
what "sounds natural"...

question
spoken-language
Is "初めてです、広島は。" ok in spoken Japanese?
「すごいすごい。[初]{はじ}めてです、[広島]{ひろ・しま}は。」 is not wrong, but if you are a man, it's a
little strange, because 「すごいすごい」 is a phrase that a girl says, usually (if it
has a positive nuance). If you want to emphasize すごい, すっごい would be more
natural to use than すごいすごい. すっごい is commonly used by both men and women.

> 「すっごい初めてです！」

is naturally said in casual conversations by some young people. It means "This
is my very first time!"

> 「めっちゃ初めてです！」

has the same meaning, and used by many people.

です is keigo, so 「すっごい初めてです」 and 「めっちゃ初めてです」 are nice ways to say, but they
sound somewhat casual.

> 「まったく初めてです。」

is polite and more common, so this can be used in more various situations.

If you feel 「初めてです」 is too simple,

> 「初めてなんです。」

may fit your needs. This なん confirms the meaning of 初めてです. It's like saying
"This is definitely my first time."

The は of 広島は is not necessary.

> 「初めてです、広島。」 or 「初めてなんです、広島。」

sounds natural.

When some distinction is needed to express, は is useful. For example,

> 「初めてなんです、広島 **は** 。[大阪]{おお・さか}は[二三度]{に・さん・ど}[行]{い}ったことあるんですけど。」 (This is
> definitely my first time in Hiroshima. I've visited Osaka a couple of times,
> though.)

If you want to say something positive about the place but don't want to
specify what, 「すごいところですね。」 is a nice way to say as mentioned in the comment by
The Wandering Coderさん. Or,

> 「いろいろすごいです。」 or 「ほんと、すごいです。」

would work well. In this case, saying a 初めてです sentence first would sound more
natural. For example,

> 「初めてなんです、広島。いろいろほんと、すごいです。」

About the Florida sentence, the following example would sound more natural and
relatively understandable for native Japanese speakers.
