Where Would You Like To Go?

There are so many beautiful cities in the world that are full of life and opportunities! However, do you ever wonder why people like to visit certain cities more than others? There isn't a “best” city out of all of them, yet so many people still only chose to go to certain cities in our world. The article/ slideshow “Top 25 Cities in the World: Readers’ Choice Awards 2013” shows us how every city is different in its own way, and that not all cities need to be full of lights and tall buildings to be a “one of a kind” city. It's a reliable article since it's from a website that provides many tips and information on traveling that many people find useful.

1. Some of the most popular cities in America are either close to a sea, or close to a lake, such as Chicago, New York, and Los Angeles. Much of the cities on this top 25 list are close to a body of water, such as Barcelona.
2. It's not the cities and lights that make a good city, it's the history. In 2013, San Miguel de Allende was rated the top city since it had rich history and a "traditional feeling of a small town in the heart of Mexico".
3. Cities such as Tokyo has a culture so diverse, that some people even said that it feels as if you have everything there. As in diverse, people had never seen such a different culture before, which is what makes Tokyo special.
4. Cities also have to be safe! It's not a surprise that people enjoy Vancouver since not much crime happen there.
5. Transportation needs to be convenient! Whether it's on a bike or on a train, people still need to travel to many places in a short amount of time. Gondolas in Venice are exceptional since people find them traditional, and most of the city in in water.
6. A city full of jobs and opportunities? Sounds like New York and London to lots of people, but those cities are definitely crowded and full of diversity. Diversity is what makes tourists want to go to that city, but when a city gets too crowded people, tend to move away to cities that have a bit more of a "countryside" feeling to it.
7. Every city has different kinds of food. San Sebastian not only has a wide amount of seafood cuisines, but it is also called the "food capital of Europe" surprisingly, instead of Paris because of its wide variety of delicious food.
8. This may be a bit unfair, but developed cities were ranked higher than developing cities since people still prefer cities that have convenience and many places to shop instead of relaxing on the beach drinking out of a coconut.
9. Fresh air, sunshine, beautiful view of a clean lake, is all a part of nature. Nature is different from a "countryside" feeling, since there can also be nature in a city, such as parks. Yet cities that have more nature can make people feel more peaceful oftentimes. Sydney ranked 17 on the list since it possibly had more "nature" and beautiful sights.
10. Lastly, people should be generous. Who who would want to live in a city full of people that rant and yell at each other daily? When people are living in peace and not so focused on jobs and work, the atmosphere can really change drastically.

What are some attractions that each city has which makes it special?
