Boston, MA
History and modern times are joined at the hip, making Boston one of the most beautiful cities in the US. It’s the place where federal architecture goes back to the 1600s, and cobbled-stone streets meet glass-enclosed shopping galleries. And speaking of architecture, make sure to see the famous Back Bay row houses that are eye-catching and a must-see.
From chowder to lobster rolls, the city also loves its seafood. So while here, visit the city’s best raw bars and lobster shacks. Uncover Boston’s past while enjoying its modern edge. Enjoy the brewmasters, pedal-powered swan boat rides, or high-speed catamaran whale watches. Shop artisanal markets or chic boutiques.
Spend the afternoon at a sidewalk cafe or dine at one of the popular food trucks found throughout the city. Enjoy star-studded concerts, some under the stars, and take a stroll on the vibrant waterfront or cruise the historic harbor. There’s always something to do in Boston.

No Philadelphia?
You should put Pittsburgh ,Pa, on the list.
Not San Francisco?!
I like the list in general, but I didn’t know that you intended to include relatively small cities like Charleston and Savannah. The One Giant Omission is San Francisco which is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful cities in The World.
Thank you for those lovely cities. I am a native of Chicago and enjoyed your view of
the city. I now live in South Carolina and enjoy visiting Charleston and Savannah in
Georgia. I am familiar with most of these cities and your description of them makes
one wish to visit. Luckily I have a son living in San Diego which gives me a reason to
visit.
I’ve seen and lived in both the New York and Las Angeles area and they are concrete jungles and not lovely! You would have to be in a park itself to make sense, but most of those cities by and large are sad and tragic! Wonderful theater and arts culture for both, but Charleston, South Carolina they are not.
You are CORRECT. LA is a PIT. As in armpit YUK
Agree with You. I have been to 10 of the cities.
I didn’t see Pittsburgh, PA on the list. Having lived there in the 40’s and 50’s when the steel industry made it a smokey, sooty, malodorous city, more recent visits reveal a clean and picturesque vista with the three rivers and rolling hills overlooking the confluence. I look forward more to the aerial views of Point Park during Steeler games than the games themselves. Beautiful!!
I agree with you wholeheartedly!! Grew up not far from the Steel City.
At least 2/3 of the cities on your list, I would not go if I had free airfare and accommodations to them.
Miracle Mile Beautiful – but the Crime and killings weekly -ypu dont want to be there
How about Newport News ,Virginia: best small community in America
Yes ,I agree completely the cities are wonderful.
Have you been to these cities lately? I have been to all of them. The crime in some is out of control. San Francisco used to be the most beautiful, like a European city. Now it’s not even on the list. Everyone knows why. I would agree with San Diego, Charleston and Savannah and Boston. Very sad to see what years of liberal mayors have done to many once great cities, in my humble opinion.
I have been all of ithem, (way more beyond: Phylli, Pitts, Potland OR, Houston, Vegas … ) but where is San Francisco, which shall be put in the first place !
Philadelphia, Pa should be in there too.
Not sure why Orlando isn’t on the list since Orlando actually IS “The City Beautiful”.
Speaking of beautiful cities, Honolulu and Las Vegas should be listed as two of the most beautiful cities in the U.S.
San Antonio? Of course, standards of beauty can be expected to vary considerably when complex objects are being compared.
What about Philadelphia? I loved it when I was there for Grad School.
Philadelphia is a beautiful city. Loved it when I was there in Grad School.
LA & San Diego but not San Francisco? You’ve got to be kidding me!!
Lived in Chicago and Miami. Chicago a yes, Miami a no. San Diego the best. Love the southern cities.
great tips. thanks
any list of beautiful cities that does not include San Francisco is totally ridiculous.
Denver or Anchorage aren’t listed? WOW!
Washington, DC is beautiful in the Springtime, all the lovely blooming flowers just make the various monuments priceless. The weather is usually kind to all!
