    Default Beautiful Cities

    Looking at some cities you wouldn't dare to even use the word "beautiful" to describe the feeling when you leave, but if you look around there are some nice cities out there.

    I'm not much of a city person myself, but I am quite fond of Chester which isn't too far away from me. It's hardly beautiful, but the Tudor-style buildings are rather charming in their own way. Otherwise, Canterbury and Oxford are both great. I fell somewhat in love with Oxford when I stayed there last week. I've heard good things about Cambridge, but I've never been, whereas I've stayed in Canterbury and Oxford for a week each on two seperate occasions. Outside of Britain, I'd like to visit Prague, which is another place I've been told things about.

    So what cities do you think are pleasing to the eye? Or perhaps beautiful for a reason other than aesthetics?

    I think NYC is amazingly beautiful. I can't even begin to explain it, I just love NYC, the people in it, the rush, almost everything except for the traffic. xD I don't get to go to NYC as much as I should, despite being a Noo Yoiker, but I'm hoping to go to college there.

    I've been to Paris five times, and it never ceases to amaze me. Parts of the city is very old, and other parts are very modern; blending chic with street.

    I LOVE Paris more than any other city in the world.

    Manilla is a big, loud, dirty, but very a atmospheric city. I love Manilla, but for other reasons that its beauty (or lack thereof). My favourite part of Manilla is its dockside.

    Everywhere around me is just roads and buildings, theres no art. Manchester and Liverpool are so dull, they just blend into each other.

    When I went to Tenby in Wales I thought that was a really pretty town.
    Its so perfect!

    Glasgow is a nice city. The west end, particularly, is very nice.

    I love Bath, it's my favourite city in the UK. The architecture is fantastic.

    Small villages and towns are more my style. Nature provides the best art, best atmosphere, and simply put - the most relaxation.

    Most cities in Europe I would consider beautiful. Barcelona is a favourite, as is Moscow. I wouldnt say anywhere in the UK or US is beautiful, in fact, most cities there are ugly....

    The only big cities I've been to are Detroit, Montreal, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, and New York City. Detroit, is of course, a pile of sludge. Montreal is simply gorgeous. Pittsburgh and Philadelphia were rather nice, and it was nice seeing Philadelphia because I went to see the patriotically historical Independance Hall and Liberty Bell. There was something deep down in New York City that really touched me, and I liked it. I got to see a lot of it too, since we were driving around lost and in a traffic jam for 3 hours. Other than that it was awesome

    Earlier, I was in a semi-big city about 20 miles southeast of were I live, it's called Ann Arbor. I have always love that city so much because there is just so much to do. There was a huge art festival being held.

    Tokyo, Paris and Madrid.
    I also think most Scandinavian Towns look beautiful.
