Have you SEEN Havana? ;)Zurich, Damascus (Old Damascus, anyway), Marseilles, etc... Not to mention smaller/non-major cities , many of which are WAY more beautiful than any of the above!
Iv e Been to many parts of the U.S and world and seen all types of cities and countries but CALI has it all, S.F is nice, San Diego is nice too, visit Santa Barbara and you ll agree CALIFORNIA is King. When you mention your from the U.S to a Foreigner they say what part and if that part is not California they are not too interested.
San Francisco is certainly beautiful. But Milan, Paris, etc. are also very beautiful. Milan also has better dressed ppl. Much of the SF population (including women) wear black Old Navy hoodies, jeans and ski caps. Yuck.
Thank you - having only traveled vicariously through books and film and never lived in other places, I find your information interesting. I m sure you are a beautiful person, that s why you like SF.
I m not going to disagree... Saying that one city is more beautiful than any place else is totally subjective, but SF certainly IS beautiful, and much moreso than most other major cities.
Probably not the most beautiful in the world, but definitely the most beautiful in the USA!
one of the most beautiful cities in America and one I love living close to and working incertain cities in Austria and Italy are breathtaking as well
Hmm...I think Edinburgh (The capital of Scotland) could give S.F a run for it s money.
I think it is. SF is my favorite city. There is nothing else in the world like it.
LOL! The most beautiful city in the world?..........NO!
Never been there, but it looks nice on television.
absolutely not
i agree dont ya LOVE San Francisco!
Well, definitely SF can be captivating and a daily reward for someone who lives from the heart and who believes that aesthetics is an essential ingredient in determining quality of life. I have lived in SF for many years. Not now, as I am taking a much needed break from California. Two things you did not mention: 1) the general sense of respect for human beings, including those who are troubled or somehow disadvantaged. There are many people who are living on the margins and they are a daily presence. But iI think they know that being in SF is better than other places (such like LA, which can be a pretentious rat race).2) the atmospherics of SF s unique weather. I have always had a deep fascination with the fog as it can be strikingly beautiful in the most unexpected way. I will suggest to you two beautifully photographed videos on Vimeo which manage to capture some of the magic of SF and the Bay Area in general.http://www.vimeo.com/hd#7260115andhttp://www.vimeo.com/hd#6601409PS: I have lived also in Rome and in Seattle and I think both are exceptional places.
I have grown up and lived in SF Bay Area all my life and I admit, I doubt I will ever leave this area of California. Unfortunately, as the cost of living here rises, so does the pretentiousness of the residents! But speaking architecturally and weatherwise, it s a gorgeous place to visit and live. However, I also found Seattle to be so beautiful, but the weather from November-April is just so dark that I don t think I could live there. NY (Manhattan and surrounding areas) is also beautiful, diverse and full of energy. Also -- Boulder, Colorado is another beautiful place; very sunny even when there s snow! I think the most beautiful city in the world is the one where you feel most at peace.
