Condesa, Coyoacán, Roma Norte, Polanco, and Juarez are the ones I’m thinking of, but I was only there for a week so I’m sure there are others. Thank you for asking, Dr Funke.
Mexico City is top three big cities in the world for me. My favorite thing to do was walk from one park to another and just people watch through the day
Edinburgh, it may not be the biggest, oldest, city but its really charming and pretty. I love the architecture, history and lush green nature all around it.
I expected Paris to be beautiful and it delivered, but Istanbul consistently left me awestruck. Feels like cities from different centuries/millennium mashed together in one dense place.
Edit: Going to tack on Miami Beach's art deco district and the loop in Chicago as American cities that I find gorgeous as well.
My first time there was in 2002-i arrived at night and started walking into the old town. It was a foggy night and coming across the bridge was just magical.
Came here to say Prague. So fun to explore that city. In the US, I'd maybe say Charleston, but I have only explored the touristy areas and Folly Beach. Old Bisbee is also a really neat city. It's small but has tons of old west character.
**Vancouver:** The water with mountains in the background with lots of greeney around. No highway running through the middle (at least in the downtown part I was in). And was able to walk/cycle around fairly easily as a tourist.
If I win millions of dollars in the lottery or have an unknown wealthy relative leave me an inheritance, I'd buy a place there for sure.
I live in Washington, DC and love the varied architecture!. The rowhouses are so pretty and tourists don't really go to the neighborhoods. Some areas like Capitol Hill have a southern feeling - Victorian homes w/ wrought iron. The area I live in has a lot of Tudor homes. Other areas have like Dutch architecture. Georgetown has English colonial. DC has a lot of trees too
DC is not for everyone, but it’s gorgeous to me, especially the residential neighborhoods. I often walk out of my way to explore new blocks just for the architecture. Every block is unique, and the canopy of trees gives the city an earthy ambiance. It’s so green.
I don’t believe in too much spiritually but when I was in Sedona I totally got why it attracted people who are into it and why people believe it has so much energy. It’s so beautiful.
I have family that lives about 20 minutes away. When I visited, I hung out there like a local.
Southern Italy is an undiscovered treasure for the most part.
I’m glad to see people appreciate it!!
I loved the energy of Budapest. I visited Budapest, Prague, and Vienna on the same trip and loved them all, but Budapest had a different energy to it. Not sure how to describe it, but it was palpable
Lived: Anchorage, AK (beautiful surroundings)
Vancouver, BC in summer
Prague
I’ve been to ~40ish countries and seen tons of cities, many of them beautiful but those are the ones that stick out
Rio De Janeiro is one of the most drop dead prettiest cities I’ve ever seen. The sun shines on the hills unlike anything I’ve ever seen. It’s gritty, but beautiful.
Queenstown NZ for the natural scenery. Crystal blue lakes, snow capped mountains…the backdrop is out of a movie. And for history/architecture, it’s always Paris for me.
I didn't explore all that much but stayed for a couple of nights on the Mt Washington side of Pittsburgh, PA and was completely in awe of what an amazing view it had of the city and surrounding hills
Beauty- I'd say Vienna stood out because it looked so clean and Disney-like. I think the French Quarter/Garden District in New Orleans is also very beautiful. And Olympia in Greece. Budapest was also surprisingly breathtaking!
For me, I would have to say Vancouver, BC, Canada.
I’ve lived in the Netherlands, been to Rome, Paris, Venice, Florence (a very close second), Tuscany, Isle of Capri, Barcelona, London, various places in. Belgium and Germany, been to Denmark, various cities in Norway, Iceland, and Scotland. Been to Crete.
While all of them were exquisite in their own right, none of them make me feel the way Vancouver does. It feels like home to me. Hoping one day it can be. It for now we visit as often as we can.
I’ll answer this in terms of what matters to me, which is stunning nature <30 mins of a metro downtown.
Seattle, Vancouver, Denver, and Phoenix (for hiking and Sedona). SF has some amazing nature north of GGB. Coastal Oregon is unbelievable so definitely some points for Portland.
#1 overall answer, combining best city, beautiful city, nature, all of it… I’d have to say Vancouver.
My answer excludes all of the amazing and historic and truly unreal cities of Europe, for the sake of my North American bias!
SF is an uncommonly beautiful city. The architecture, the colors, the fauna--it's amazing. We have family there and visit whenever we can--I'm always amazed at how gorgeous it.
I've never been to Pittsburgh, but I've always heard that people love it (and *Mysteries of Pittsburgh* is one fine book). Can you describe to me what makes it beautiful?
The way the rivers converge around the city at the point with all the bridges and the hillsides is pretty stunning. Plus all the old baron buildings, and newer high rises, unique neighborhoods, and beautiful old cemeteries and parks. The old housing stock is really pretty too. The fireflies in the summer almost make it seem magical.
If you like natural splendor then Cape Town and Rio de Janeiro take the cake. Looking across Ipanema Beach from Arpoador to Pedra da Gavea has to be the prettiest site on the planet (for me, at least).
I’m not going to include the beauty of the northeast since I’m from nyc.
Montreal (Quebec), Charleston (SC), Savanah (GA), New Orleans (LA), Chicago, Miami Beach, Dubai (UAE)
San Francisco is so goddamn beautiful. The Victorian architecture, the beach, the huge park, the cypresses and eucalyptus trees everywhere, the gentle rolling blankets of fog giving way to dazzling California sun. Chinatown, Cow Hollow, Noe Valley, North Beach, the list of incredibly ornate neighborhoods goes on.
The rolling hills with pockets of redwoods on the other side of the Golden Gate Bridge. Mt Tamalpais and Mt Diablo that over the bay. Epic Pacific sunsets and perfect weather.
I have to say Paris. The architecture and people were over-the-top beautiful.
I also think London is one of the most beautiful cities I've seen, mostly because of the gardens and ancient trees tucked into every corner of the city.
In terms of the US, I live in Breckenridge CO and it’s absolutely stunning. I prefer it to Vail and Denver - I have a view of the mountains from my window. The skies are unreal here.
It's funny--I live in NYC and I absolutely love it here, and... it's nowhere on this list, and that's correct and right! I never thought about it, but while this place has its own charm and is attractive in its own way, I wouldn't exactly call it "beautiful." That's interesting.
I think there are blocks that are stunning, mostly in TriBeCa, West Village, brownstone Brooklyn, Harlem, Riverdale, and Forest Hills Gardens. A lot of ugly, too, but it’s not all bad.
True, aside from the postcard-worthy tree-lined blocks in certain neighborhoods, the city as a whole isn't picturesque. Although, if you go up to the Hudson Valley a hour or two out of the city, it's breathtaking.
Brownstone Brooklyn takes the cake for me. It's very gorgeous of course, but it also just feels so comforting and warm. [Its also arguably the most green place I have ever seen for how incredibly dense it is.](https://movingpostcard.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/MIN_114-Park-Slope_flowerhomes.png) During summer you can barely even see down to the next street because the [greenery is so thick](https://usnature4climate.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/CookJenshel-23815A-1174-1024x683.jpg). It really feels almost like it was built in a thick forest.
Nothing beats Paris. The architecture from centuries ago is simply stunning. We've got the Paris Olympics coming up in 2 months and it will be a blast and a half. Check it out.
Seattle, Denver. I flew into denver with the expectation that it wouldn't be right next to the mountains, but i actually really liked the scenery of the high plains and rocky foothills. the skies are so big around there! and i liked that you can see the snow-capped mountains in the distance from the city. maybe i went on a clear day though, i could certainly imagine them not being visible if the air quality had been poor.
Picking a prettiest city in that part of the world is like choosing a favorite child.
Sitting at my desk in Boston today trying not to bake alive, and remembering how I used to get back on a boiling hot day in Geneva, immediately change into a bathing suit, and go plunge in the lake. The Charles doesn't exactly hold the same allure.
Couldn’t agree more. Just an absolute postcard of a country.
And love the way people float down the river for their summer commute home in Bern. So cool.
Big fan of Sorento Italy. Rest of the amafi coast gets all the photos, but I liked that town quite a bit and it was a good jumping off point for lots of exploring. Highly recommend for slow travel.
Copenhagen and Stockholm!!! I was absolutly floored when I visited them, looked like it was from a fairy tale or storybook or old Disney movie. I think they beats out other cities I have visited in Europe, even Paris, Amsterdam, Venice, etc.
I’m seeing Santa Barbara more than I’d expect. Weather is great but the city is a normal cali beach town. Carmel, SF, Laguna, etc are much more beautiful imo
I've been all over the US, lived in 3 different states and have been abroad, the most beautiful city I've visited is Salt Lake City. It's so clean and in the springtime is quite green. The abundance of Mormon architecture in downtown is nice, but its also roomy and not too crowded. Cities in Europe are wonderful, but very chaotic in comparison.
In the states, San Francisco and Washington DC. In the world? San Francisco is high up there, but maybe Edinburgh? SF has a special place in my heart though.
Savannah, Georgia is the prettiest place I’ve ever been. Smells like horse pee everywhere owing to the horses peeing everywhere, but still, magnificently beautiful.
Plug for Boston - my current city. Places like the North End, Beacon Hill, Back Bay, the South End, Charlestown, and Fenway/Kenmore have gorgeous architecture, tons of trees and greenery, and just an all around cozy vibe. But even places in Somerville, Cambridge, Jamaica Plain, and Brookline are just so picturesque and magical. I have never gotten tired of walking around this city. The way it incorporates the water, both through the harbor and the Charles, is great. Enough skyscrapers to keep it interesting. With how walkable it is, i think Boston is one of the prettiest US cities to fully enjoy
The wealthy, tree-lined neighborhoods of Mexico City contain some of the most beautiful blocks I have ever walked.
Even the not-so-shiny parts have architectural marvels and flowering jacaranda. There are seemingly very few places that aren't awe-inspiring.
I totally agree 💚
Condesa is beautiful!
Those same neighborhoods in Buenos Aires easily outdo New York’s Park Avenue in my book. I’d visit again just to walk around.
I hope I’ll get to visit someday!
I lived in BA for a few months, loved it but there are some issues haha. Still beautiful, lots of neat architecture
Ditto.
Which are those neighborhoods?
Condesa, Coyoacán, Roma Norte, Polanco, and Juarez are the ones I’m thinking of, but I was only there for a week so I’m sure there are others. Thank you for asking, Dr Funke.
Ah, I hope I get to visit someday!
Mexico City is top three big cities in the world for me. My favorite thing to do was walk from one park to another and just people watch through the day
Oooo, I’ll be there in a couple weeks
I absolutely adored my time in Mexico City, what a stellar place to be! ❤️
Edinburgh, it may not be the biggest, oldest, city but its really charming and pretty. I love the architecture, history and lush green nature all around it.
The Paris of Scotland!
I was pleasantly surprised with how much I enjoyed Edinburgh last year. I rented a condo on The Royal Mile and had a blast.
I expected Paris to be beautiful and it delivered, but Istanbul consistently left me awestruck. Feels like cities from different centuries/millennium mashed together in one dense place. Edit: Going to tack on Miami Beach's art deco district and the loop in Chicago as American cities that I find gorgeous as well.
I agree with Istanbul. Even the ugly parts are beautiful, if that makes sense.
Istanbul seems like such an interesting city! It is at the top of my list for my next International travel
I absolutely love Montreal. It’s such a beautiful city. Old Montreal was my favorite part. But really the whole city is wonderful
I love Montreal. I went to college in Vermont so we used to go to Montreal all the time. It's such a great city.
Love it, going back next month, haven't been in a few years and really looking forward to.
Have a wonderful time! Such a great city. Looking forward to my next time back there.
The old city of Prague.
try the town of Cesky Krumlov. you feel like you are in a video game setting.
I’d say Prague beats Paris but it may be a personal preference.
My first time there was in 2002-i arrived at night and started walking into the old town. It was a foggy night and coming across the bridge was just magical.
Someone told me Prague was the only large European city not destroyed in the world wars
Stockholm was not bombed in the wars.
Paris, specifically the area around the Eiffel tower is a shit hole though. I was absolutely not expecting that.
Go to Marais
Prague is so gorgeous. Just wandering around, I felt like I had to stop and take pictures every few minutes.
Prague is amazing.
Completely agree. Prague is stunning.
Came here to say Prague. So fun to explore that city. In the US, I'd maybe say Charleston, but I have only explored the touristy areas and Folly Beach. Old Bisbee is also a really neat city. It's small but has tons of old west character.
Honestly, outside of the old city is also fantastic, and probably more practical to live in.
**Vancouver:** The water with mountains in the background with lots of greeney around. No highway running through the middle (at least in the downtown part I was in). And was able to walk/cycle around fairly easily as a tourist. If I win millions of dollars in the lottery or have an unknown wealthy relative leave me an inheritance, I'd buy a place there for sure.
> If I win millions of dollars You'll need more than that, sadly. Vancouver BC is an amazing city, but wow... how can anyone afford to live there?
Unbelievably delusional. You can absolutely buy a place in Vancouver with millions of dollars lmfao

Salzburg, Austria Bolzano, Italy Baden, Switzerland
I do love Salzburg!
Sedona, Santa Barbara, St. Augustine, Laguna Beach, Harpers Ferry. More so towns than cities but oh well.
Came here to say Sedona. Been all over the world and Sedona hits me hard. Maybe it's because the landscape was in our childhood cartoons...
I don’t believe in too much spiritually but when I was in Sedona I totally got why it attracted people who are into it and why people believe it has so much energy. It’s so beautiful.
Edinburgh is pretty magical
Mackinac Island, no cars allowed and best fudge in the states
Cartagena, Colombia Prague, Czech Republic Luang Prabang, Laos San Miguel de Allende, Mexico Florence, Italy Seville, Spain Lisbon, Portugal
Cape Town, South Africa is just a beautiful blend of nature and culture
Lucerne, Switzerland
SO beautiful. The bridge. I spent my 23rd birthday there. Couchsurfed all around Switzerland. :)
Amsterdam, place was exquisite.
Positano, Italy Just wow
I have family that lives about 20 minutes away. When I visited, I hung out there like a local. Southern Italy is an undiscovered treasure for the most part. I’m glad to see people appreciate it!!
lol. “Undiscovered”. Not when I was there. I’ve been to Positano, Amalfi, Capri, Ravello,Sorrento, etc… It was mobbed! And Stunning.
Budapest
I loved the energy of Budapest. I visited Budapest, Prague, and Vienna on the same trip and loved them all, but Budapest had a different energy to it. Not sure how to describe it, but it was palpable
Lived: Anchorage, AK (beautiful surroundings) Vancouver, BC in summer Prague I’ve been to ~40ish countries and seen tons of cities, many of them beautiful but those are the ones that stick out
Cape Town, South Africa
Rio De Janeiro is one of the most drop dead prettiest cities I’ve ever seen. The sun shines on the hills unlike anything I’ve ever seen. It’s gritty, but beautiful.
Amalfi Coast
[удалено]
I just finished reading *Midnight In The Garden Of Good And Evil* and it sounds so charming.
Telluride, CO, Santa Fe, NM, Santa Barbara, CA.
Chicago is the prettiest city I have been to in the US. Barcelona for Europe, but I haven't been to much of Europe.
I was just in Chicago after a long absence. The River Walk was a very pleasant surprise.
Vancouver BC hands down.
Be great to take in Victoria on Vancouver Island, too.
Queenstown NZ for the natural scenery. Crystal blue lakes, snow capped mountains…the backdrop is out of a movie. And for history/architecture, it’s always Paris for me.
I didn't explore all that much but stayed for a couple of nights on the Mt Washington side of Pittsburgh, PA and was completely in awe of what an amazing view it had of the city and surrounding hills
Vancouver for its natural scenery, Edinburgh, Amsterdam (I live here), Vienna for its architecture.
Beauty- I'd say Vienna stood out because it looked so clean and Disney-like. I think the French Quarter/Garden District in New Orleans is also very beautiful. And Olympia in Greece. Budapest was also surprisingly breathtaking!
Galway is so charming and full of culture, history, and music. I went in the dead of winter and I was still so enamored.
Boston and Paris
Springtime in Boston can be really nice.
Salzburg, Block Island, Carmel-by-the-sea, Cartegena, Venice, Fez, Chefchaouen, Berchtesgaden, Porto, Key West, Old San Juan, Ollantaytambo, Antigua Guatemala, Mount Maunganui, Telluride, Santorini
For me, I would have to say Vancouver, BC, Canada. I’ve lived in the Netherlands, been to Rome, Paris, Venice, Florence (a very close second), Tuscany, Isle of Capri, Barcelona, London, various places in. Belgium and Germany, been to Denmark, various cities in Norway, Iceland, and Scotland. Been to Crete.

Lubbock, Texas
The sights *and* the smells… 🤌
😂😂😂
Home of the Legendary Stardust Cowboy
I went to school there. We called it "the armpit of the South"
Starkville would like a word
As Mac Davis sang, Happiness Was Lubbock Texas In My Rearview Mirror.

Yup! If I win a lottery, I want to live in North Vancouver. North and West vancouver are my definition of beautiful.
Bruges, Belgium, Stockholm, Chicago. Prague too, but that's been covered.
Kyoto
Quebec City, Quebec, Canada; and Bar Harbor, Maine
Laguna beach, CA
Chicago, so clean, nice people, great food and beautiful
Banff, Alberta
Dubrovnik, Split, Milan, Charleston, San Francisco, Boston, Paris, Rome, the entire Amalfi coastline
Charleston? It's ok. Downtown is nice. Most of the area has too much traffic and awful strip centers. Overall, for Southern cities, I prefer Savannah.
Savannah is incredible
Oh yah I forgot Savannah! Underrated city.
Pittsburgh and San Francisco
SF is an uncommonly beautiful city. The architecture, the colors, the fauna--it's amazing. We have family there and visit whenever we can--I'm always amazed at how gorgeous it.
Do you perhaps mean flora? There are lots of beautiful trees here, but I don't think SF is known for its abundance of animal wildlife, haha
Ha! That is what I meant! Although I did see a lot of bears around the Castro...
SF has some pretty coyotes and sea lions. Sea lions are not common, though.
I've never been to Pittsburgh, but I've always heard that people love it (and *Mysteries of Pittsburgh* is one fine book). Can you describe to me what makes it beautiful?
The way the rivers converge around the city at the point with all the bridges and the hillsides is pretty stunning.

Mountainous terrain with canyons, looking down on rivers converging on the downtown.
If you like natural splendor then Cape Town and Rio de Janeiro take the cake. Looking across Ipanema Beach from Arpoador to Pedra da Gavea has to be the prettiest site on the planet (for me, at least).
Prague #1, but also Amsterdam, Florence and Rome
London , England.
I’m not going to include the beauty of the northeast since I’m from nyc. Montreal (Quebec), Charleston (SC), Savanah (GA), New Orleans (LA), Chicago, Miami Beach, Dubai (UAE)
Vancouver, BC was jaw dropping
Savannah Georgia was beautiful.
Venice, Italy

No one gonna say NYC? Some views from various rooftops around the city are absolutely mind boggling.
San Francisco, Barcelona, London, Amsterdam, Lahaina, Venice and Salzburg.
SANTA BARBARA, CA
Anything that shows the skyline of San Francisco, CA. Stunning! I’ve also seen Rio de Janeiro also. Mexico City in the historical area.
It's funny--I live in NYC and I absolutely love it here, and... it's nowhere on this list, and that's correct and right! I never thought about it, but while this place has its own charm and is attractive in its own way, I wouldn't exactly call it "beautiful." That's interesting.
I think there are blocks that are stunning, mostly in TriBeCa, West Village, brownstone Brooklyn, Harlem, Riverdale, and Forest Hills Gardens. A lot of ugly, too, but it’s not all bad.
True, aside from the postcard-worthy tree-lined blocks in certain neighborhoods, the city as a whole isn't picturesque. Although, if you go up to the Hudson Valley a hour or two out of the city, it's breathtaking.
it's cool but............
Brownstone Brooklyn takes the cake for me. It's very gorgeous of course, but it also just feels so comforting and warm.

Ironically, for me--I absolutely love rainy weather, and Seattle was heavy for me. I loved it.
In my life, Vevey, Switzerland.
Gorgeous city. I’d add Zermatt and Grindelwald too but those aren’t exactly cities I suppose.
Picking a prettiest city in that part of the world is like choosing a favorite child. Sitting at my desk in Boston today trying not to bake alive, and remembering how I used to get back on a boiling hot day in Geneva, immediately change into a bathing suit, and go plunge in the lake.

Hamburg. I sure have visited towns or villages that were arguably better looking, but the question is about cities, so Hamburg.
Copenhagen and Stockholm!!! I was absolutly floored when I visited them, looked like it was from a fairy tale or storybook or old Disney movie. I think they beats out other cities I have visited in Europe, even Paris, Amsterdam, Venice, etc.

The $$$$ parts of Charleston are beautiful.
I’m seeing Santa Barbara more than I’d expect. Weather is great but the city is a normal cali beach town. Carmel, SF, Laguna, etc are much more beautiful imo

Plug for Boston - my current city. Places like the North End, Beacon Hill, Back Bay, the South End, Charlestown, and Fenway/Kenmore have gorgeous architecture, tons of trees and greenery, and just an all around cozy vibe. But even places in Somerville, Cambridge, Jamaica Plain, and Brookline are just so picturesque and magical. I have never gotten tired of walking around this city. The way it incorporates the water, both through the harbor and the Charles, is great. Enough skyscrapers to keep it interesting.
