Rio is amazing!

San Sebastian, Spain has an incredible location.

Duluth, Minnesota probably has one of the most scenic locations of any Midwestern city.

Many Swiss cities have stunning settings. Not a big surprise in a Country famous for its landscape:

Lugano

Luzern (Lucerne)

Lausanne

Zürich

5 of the ten biggest cities of Switzerland are situated next to a lake. And one third of the 100 biggest communities.
