Paris, France is not only the most gorgeous city I've ever been too...it is also exhilarating, romantic, fun, different & the list goes on. There is so much history there. You feel yourself going back in time and living in a modern day all at the same time. If I had to pick a word to describe Paris...It would be "MAGICAL."

Santa Barbara, California
Santa Barbara is sometimes referred to as the American Riviera. Her beautiful beaches, majestic mountains and colorful culture make Santa Barbara a premier resort destination. World-class accommodations and dining await her many visitors.
Santa Barbara is little more than an hour's drive north from Los Angeles or a short hop from any corner of the world via the Santa Barbara airport. Santa Barbara's harbor is home to the world famous Stearns Wharf; a great destination for the entire family. The zoological gardens are known as a great family day-trip.
From the City, you are just minutes away from the Santa Barbara wine country. The gorgeous Santa Ynez Valley, with its breath-taking vistas, is home to such notable attractions as Solvang and the Chumash Reservation.
Whether you enjoy hiking, fine-dining, water sports, lazing on the beach, culture, or a great night-life, Santa Barbara has something for you.

Vancouver B.C. is officially listed as one of the five most beautiful cities in the world, right up there with Paris. And indeed, it is!!
First, it is nestled between the snow-capped mountains and a series of bays and rivers. It has gorgeous beaches, snow skiing 15 minutes from downtown, one of the worlds largest Urban parks, and so much more!!
Definitely a must see destination city.

I really loved Edinburgh, Scotland. I walk around a lot, and there was plenty to explore, especially all the stairways coming down off the Royal Mile. There is a hill in the middle of the city, with a castle at the top, overlooking the water, and it is lit up at night. It is surrounded by beautiful old buildings, built in a pattern of concentric rings, as best as I can understand it. Really, I wish I could go and explore it more.
I'm from Minneapolis, and it delights me that someone liked my hometown. It is a wonderful city.

Durango, Colorado.
Durango is nestled in the Animas River Valley surrounded by the San Juan Mountains.
The Animas River - El Río de las Animas Perdidas or the River of Lost Souls - runs through downtown and boasts gold medal fly-fishing waters and is very popular for whitewater rafting, kayaking and canoeing. Durango is an outdoor activity paradise - Hiking, mountain biking, road biking, backpacking, rock climbing, hunting, fishing, kayaking, rafting and golfing - to name just a few.
In the winter, Durango has easy access to five major ski areas, including Purgatory at Durango Mountain Resort, located just 30 minutes north of downtown.
Located 35 miles west of Durango is Mesa Verde National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its Ancestral Puebloan Cliff Dwellings.
Durango is also well known for another historical attraction, the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad, a heritage railway which takes visitors back in time from Durango to the historic mining town of Silverton, Colorado.
Durango hosted the first-ever Mountain Bike World Championships in 1990.

Minneapolis. It has such a pretty sky, and clean air, and awesome streets to shop on, dine out. nice parks, and the mississippi river. Tons to do! VERY well kept up. It feels safe and clean. (at least the parts where I was did)
PS since i noticed a lot of ppl said paris... i'd have to agree that it is a beautiful city, with gorgeous architecture and so much history. i found it very dirty (smoggy & smokey) though. But a definite must-visit! amazing!

Tough question. I'm going to have to go with... Pittsburgh, PA.
It's a beautiful city, with lots to do, but it's not overwhelmingly big like Chicago is, and there aren't people begging for money like they do it Detroit. The city is built right in the mountains, and downtown is at the intersection of 3 huge rivers. Lots of nice restaurants, parks, scenic lookouts, and other places to visit. Fabulous city.

Chicago. It's clean, and it has a great skyline. Very warm and welcoming. I've been to a few other cities around the world, but Chicago is very advanced and has home written all over it. My kind of town.

I haven't travelled enough, but since it's sort have been my life long dream to go to Paris, I really enjoyed seeing Quebec City for the historical architectural similarities.
