I think Rio without a doubt is the winner on this one... however i want to mention since I live in LA that it's setting alone with it's climate has been the major contributor to it's phenomenal growth.

Well, when it comes to LOCATION, I'd say one of the most fascinating cities for me is Ushuaia. Indeed in the end of the world, in the tip of the South American continent, far from everything in the whole planet, just amazing.

and where is the airport, because the international airport is usually located near the capital.

PS: Maybe should Al Gore be candidate for presidency elections in the Maledives, because from my first sight it can be one of the first islands that can be swollen by the rising sealevel ...

For me it's Lugano



I was just there pre-last weekend and it is always an astonishing place! Maybe I will make a pic-thread if I find the time.
