Pretty good and accurate list IMO, curious if yall have any critiques or feel something was left off. I like how they break it down by small cities and major cities. Pasted below for quick reference as well:
My quick thoughts:
Best Small Cities
10. Sedona
9. Annapolis
8. Pensacola
7. St. Augustine
6. Aspen
5. Savannah
4. Greenville
3. Alexandria
2. Santa Fe
1. Charleston
Best Major Cities:
10. Miami
9. DC
8. Nashville
7. NYC
6. Boston
5. SF
4. New Orleans
3. Milwaukee
2. San Diego
1. Chicago
My quick thoughts:
- shout out to Pensacola for making this list - was not expecting that.
- Greenville, SC kinda surprised me.. I have always heard it's a pretty cool town but I've never been.. good for them.
- Savannah and Charleston both top 5 in the small cities list... that's definitely a cool region.
- Milwaukee at #3 large city was definitely a shocker.. I have never been there but seems too highly ranked at #3.
- Chicago at #1 surprised me, but everyone that goes there raves about how cool it is, and international travelers I speak to seem to love it.. it just gets a bad rap by certain media outlets which is probably undeserved.
