There are so many beautiful cities that have been shown here and so much variety of beauty it is very difficult to rank them. The pics of Istanbul are stunning, I’ll have to visit one day.

Of the cities I have actually visited Paris is the stand out. Roma, Firenze, Venezia, Barcelona, Praha, Edinburgh – the usually suspects are all beautiful (has Edinburgh been mentioned). I also like smaller cities such as Bath and Brugge. A bit of a Eurocentric view, hopefully that will change when I get to visit some more continents. The videos of the towns in Yemen were amazing. But we should probably stick to the larger cities as there are hundreds of beautiful small towns, and thousands of beautiful villages around the world.

Although I appreciate ot a lot to see photos of all those places - wouldn't it be enough to show the very best and leave some others out!? Sometimes it is like some people just emptied their whole HD here. And this is not a photo-thread.

isaidso · January 22nd, 2009, 07:37 AM

Perhaps not a top 3, but Quebec City deserves a mention. Sorry about the photo quality.

Skyline_FFM · January 22nd, 2009, 12:11 PM

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!!!

This is one great view of the city! Stunning and impressive!

Quebec City is like a fairy tale land in the winter. That towering building is the Chateau Frontenac Hotel. It is part of the Fairmont Hotel chain and built in the Canadian Chateau Style. It's not a commonly known architecture around the world as it is only found in Canada. It never gained popularity beyond our borders which is a shame. I've always admired Canadian Chateau Style.

Seventeen thousand readers of The Guardian chose the southern Polish city of Krakow as the second most interesting world city in 2008 - reports of The Gazeta Wyborcza daily.

In a special questionnaire, the British daily asked its readers to pick the most interesting places, the best hotels and the most interesting world tourist destinations.

The capital of Australia - Sydney turned out to be the winner, followed by Krakow and such cities as San Francisco, Singapore or Vancouver.

That's good because I managed to visit Krakow in 2008. Lucky me i guess.

The capital of Australia is Canberra, not Sydney.

Nobody mentioned small city. There are so many beautiful small cities in Spain, France, Austria( When I was boy I used to look at a pic from an Austrian small city between alps mountains, very beautiful city) and in Greece. I picked up some photos from Greek cities, they look like heaven, it gives you a heavenly peace sensation:

This one is transcendental:

This one gives me a nostalgic feeling:

The straight street passes harmony:

agrimaldo · February 12th, 2009, 01:13 AM

What I wonder is that not even the most modern architecture nowadays in Dubai, Beijin etc. can be more beautiful than those poetic simple colored forms mixed to the sea.
