As we can see in this list, there are many cities people hold close to their hearts. These cities can range from popular destinations, which can be found, for example, in the top destinations of 2023 list, like Rome, Tokyo, and New York, to not as popular ones, like Granada, Bruges, and Porto.

There are many reasons why these cities stood out to people. From just good vibes and nice views to emotional attachment -- to each their own. Well, without traveling, you can’t find a city you hold close to your heart, as, sadly, Google Maps can’t show you the full magic of a place. At least not yet, but who knows what the future holds?

While some people like to travel to nature-based destinations, some others are more fond of cities. They’re full of life, and they are exciting and fascinating. But these aren’t the only reasons why cities are a thriving destination type.

For instance, some might say that cities can be challenging because you can experience life in a different place, culture, and language. Traveling there might be a way to get away from your daily life and see how others live theirs.

This kind of exposure to different city cultures might broaden your horizons. Then you might get an emotional attachment to the place, and maybe, one day, your story could end up in a similar list to this one.

It's one thing to visit a city and be captivated by its magic, but it's another thing to live in that city every day. While some cities might be interesting to visit, they aren’t as good for living.

So, if you get so captivated by a city you visited that you want to move there, then before moving, you should consider these things and whether they apply to that city or not:

Security;
Democracy and freedom;
Mobility;
Diversity;
Attainable jobs;
Amenities.

This list doesn’t even cover all the things that make a good city, as you could also include environmental factors, the state of health among residents, and so on.

Someone's read about tapas but not really understood the concept. You go to a tapas bar of that type, a small plate of food, just a snack really, is included in the price of a beer, it's not "free". To get a full meal's worth would take multiple beers. Not a bad thing, of course... But in fact most places are not like this, you go to a tapas restaurant and order off a menu, paying for each dish.

According to Forbes in 2023, the best cities to live in the top 20 list consisted of cities like Malaga, Alicante, and Valencia in Spain (these are the top 3, and there are way more Spanish cities in the list), Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia, Amsterdam in the Netherlands, and many others.

Interestingly, famous destinations such as Rome, Milan, Paris, Berlin, and London were listed in the top 10 lowest-ranked cities to live in 2023. This only proves that visiting a city and being captivated by it isn’t the same as living in it.

So, if you ever think about moving to a city you think is the best one you have ever visited, maybe it’s time to rethink your decision. After all, maybe keeping the magic inside your memory or revisiting the city as a traveler is the best way to keep it on today's list.

Someone Asked “What Is The Best City You’ve Ever Visited?” And 30 Peeps Delivered Hong Kong circa 2016 was an absolutely wild time. You could relax on a beach, go hiking on another tropical island, party at nightclubs in LKF, take a gondola up to Victoria Peak, and meet with business associates for a Michelin star dinner in a single day.

And you could spend the next day at night markets, eating amazing food at a sleepy seaside village and chilling in bookstores or exploring the under city by the subway stations. The entire city was easy to travel on the best subway system the world has ever seen.

I know Tokyo is gonna be at the top. As it should be. But what people in this thread don’t realize is that Hong Kong in the mid 2010’s had everything Tokyo had plus tropical beaches and incredible hiking/outdoor activities. With even better mass transit (as crazy as that sounds).

It really was the world’s first S Tier city in my honest opinion.

Read all the way though and was surprised to find San Francisco not represented. For me it was the first, indeed the only, US city that I really liked. It has it's downsides, like the homeless/street beggars, which is apparently even worse than when I used to visit regularly, but there was something about it, particularly wrt food and drink, which they 'get' in a very European way. Complete contrast to, say, Maiami Beach, where I once once genuinely asked by a waiter, on requesting to see the wine list after I'd ordered food, why, if I wanted wine, I hadn't ordered it at the beginning along with my Mojito. I hated Miami Beach. The mojito was good though, the food and wine less so.

Stratford-upon-Avon is my favourite place in the UK. I love history and being Shakespeare's birthplace means there's no shortage of historical buildings to see.

I've been to a lot of places on this list, and I agree with all the comments that praised them. I would add Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur and Dublin.

I'll add a lesser known must see for travelers that want to visit somewhere the is both beautiful and will tickle that fancy of literature nerds... Monterey Bay and nearby Salinas (the birthplace of John Steinbeck and the setting of several of his novels)

I'm surprised no locations in Ireland were mentioned. The food wasn't great but the people were fantastic, the scenery spectacular. It's a toss up between Belfast and Galway as far as a favorite.

The scenary is fantastic if the weather lifts enough to see it. I was in Belfast for almost a week until the hills around it were even visible.

San Francisco is by far my favorite "big" city in the U.S.

Representing a city with such a single oddball encounter (waiters absolutely do not act like that in the U.S.) is kinda silly.
