I got to visit Prague just a few months after the wall came down, and before everything got westernized and commercialized. It was so so beautiful !!! Also loved Vienna !!! You've got good taste. 😘
Budapest is great too. Generally lots of the old Austro Hungarian empire cities are beautiful. For instance Ljubljana, Novi Sad/ Subotica , Lviv or Krakow
I live in Lisbon and I must say this is an incredible city that it is unlike any other. The unique architecture and the overseas influence South American and African cultures have in the city life makes it one of the most interesting cities in the World right now. It is a shame I will emigrate in less than a year due to the economic struggles Portugal faces (especially when the crisis comes in some months)
I visited Lisbon in 2017 and was shocked by how much I loved it. The people are engaging, sweet and kind. The place has such beauty and enchantment. I want to go back so much.
@@r.pres.4121 people just got too much hate on nyc..just admit that nyc got more tourists than any other cities on the list for a reason..I guess u think people love to spend big bucks to visit a shithole. Lol
I am in Vienna right now, thought it's on the list. Too bad, because Vienna is sooo beautiful! The architecture, the rich history, classical music culture and beautiful coffee houses! I ❤ Vienna!!! And I shall return😊
Hmm not a bad list, though I think Id swap out a few haha. San Francisco despite it problems id say beats out New York on natural beauty, Vienna, Rio, St Petersburg, Buenos Aires, Tokyo, i think should be honorable mentions too.
Barcelona is my favorite city of all. It has a little bit of everything-beaches, mountains, old town, old & modern architecture, food & drink, young & old people, diversity, tons of things to do. Reminds me of a European Los Angeles. I love it.
Briggs, you’re just the best. I do think Budapest deserves to be on this list. So much history and beauty…I don’t think it’s the BEST but, biased as I am, but, I feel it deserves a spot! ❤️ 🇭🇺
Thank you! This was really fun and interesting. I'd love to see another, more in depth video about these cities. I was surprised that Prague wasn't on the list. My sister worked for British Airways and her well traveled coworkers raved about Prague being stunning.
Rio de Janeiro, Cartagena Colombia, Tallinn Estonia, Annecy France are so beautiful. Paris is beautiful that I agree with on this list (haven’t been to Cape Town or Singapore though.)
I've been to Amsterdam, Barcelona, Vancouver, Venice, London, NYC, and Paris. All beautiful, but like others, I would have expected Prague and Rome to be on the list. Vienna, Innsbruck, Salzburg, and Heidelburg are gorgeous, too.
I'm not sure about one o two in the list, but I'd like to add: Dubrovnik (Croatia), Brugge (Belgium), Prague (Czech Republic), Warsaw or Cracovia in Poland, Marrakech in Morocco
A city is so much more than its buildings. London may not have the ubiquitous exquisite architecture of a Prague or a Paris but its Royal Parks are out of this World and jaw droppingly gorgeous and contribute hugely to the enjoyment of the city for both residents and visitors. Personally I think Stockholm is one of the World’s most underrated cities. Sweden was a super power back in the 17th century and it shows in the legacy of its glorious architecture plus its access to water and the great outdoors is second to none (only drawback is that, glorious as its summer is, it is short and winter is very long and dark) . Go anytime from May to August and revel in its brilliant light and long long days.
@@geoffreyschuchardt5350 they were laid out by royalty centuries ago who had the funding and the power to acquire vast tracts of prime land for their personal leisure (riding, hunting, falconry etc). George II queen, Caroline of Ansbach, was gifted what is now Hyde Park in the early 18th century and he had it designed to be reminiscent of her homeland. Royal Parks are large and extravagantly designed and you will struggle to find a large World city that has so much space and beauty given over to leisure in their prime real estate central zone. The combined area of Hyde Park, Kensington Gardens, St James’s Park, Green Park and Regents Park are London’s glory.
Been to most of these and agree with most, especially Lisbon, Singapore, Amsterdam, Venice, Capetown, but sorry I don't think London, Paris or New York are that beautiful, popular and famous yes, but beautiful no, though not ugly, and I would rank Paris top among those 3. Other cities not mentioned but very beautiful are Prague, Bruges, Cartagena (Colombia), Edinburgh, Florence, St. Petersburg, Budapest, Dubrovnik, Ljubljana, Quebec City, San Miguel de Allende, Seville, Tallinn, and Valletta

@@TheMaltamonument I love Paris, and yes pretty areas, but trouble with large cities is overall aesthetics get lost with size, smaller cities being better able to encapsulate a certain charm and beauty.

For France though, if I had to pick the prettiest city it would be Annecy. But beauty is in the eye of the beholder! And happy travels anywhere you go!
Kyoto Japan is probably the most beautiful city I've been to. It is a cross between a modern city and also feeling and looking ancient too. This list is a little too mainstream and mostly lists all of the big tourist cities that have enormous populations.
Yes absolutely, its more of a list of "most iconic tourist destinations" rather than cities of pure beauty. In my opinion only a fool would argue that London or New York are more beautiul than cities like Florence or Toledo.
Leave it to the mainstream. Don't let people with "bucket lists" come to the real beautiful cities only because some influencer posted it on Instagram or youtube. They will destroy it.
@@ageoflove1980 i live in nyc for over 23 years. Regardless of how much I hate this city, I must say nyc is truly different from any other cities on the list, not because of its beauty tho. It’s just different. Anyhow, I will move out next year. Not gonna miss this city, but I will come back to visit and see my family here.
@@InvincibleAkuma Cool! Ive been to NYC last may for 10 days, just visiting. Its indeed a very special place and it sure has its beauty here and there. Especially the art deco at Rockefeller Centre, the various gothic architecture and the beaux art buildings stand out. A city with beautiful things however is something else, at least for me, than a beautiful city. I wasnt criticising NYC, although I could probably never live there. As a Dutchy, I could probably never get used to the insane gaps in wealth, feeling both uncomforatble in the most posh and the most deprived areas. But it is certainly unique!
Kyoto is pretty underwhelming as a historical city when you compare it to famous European medieval cities. Random modern buildings among historical streets really destroys the uniformity, and that's why Kyoto has a really awful look when you oversee the city from above. I will admit that Kyoto has its own charm and lots of things to do, but in terms of beauty? No it's definitely not on the same level as cities like Florence or Edinburgh.
I was in Paris 5 days ago. I walked around for 3 days, plus a lot of metro. My first thought was how clean and spotless the city was!!! Not dirty at all!! I agree Paris is probably the most beautiful city in the world!!! I was also in Rome, that city was very dirty!!
Um, try again, no one thinks Paris is clean and he even said it TWICE, been to Rome, yes some bad spots as any major Capitol but your assessment is no where near accurate
Paris would be great if it had more green space. Same dirty colour buildings in normally grey cloudy weather doesn’t look beautiful to me. Give me a pure white townhouse surrounded with cherry blossoms , huge green communal gardens and a nice small park in front of it(London)
Switzerland has such beautiful cities from what I have seen I guess it is just not on this list because not many people are aware of how beautiful the country is
The problem is that the whole Switzerland is not very big, but every tiny part of it is beautiful. It could be considered as one city comparable to New York :D
Interesting & fun video, but very much an English / Western bias, that said I have been to almost all of these cities and they are great. I think that Kyoto, Victoria BC, Krakow, Budapest, Vienna, Istanbul, Buenos Aries, Prague are worthy of this list. Some day I would love to see St. Petersberg too, but you know...
Completely agree. Loved Budapest, Prague and Istanbul. And, Vienna is my favorite city anywhere. Haven’t been to Krakow yet, but definitely appreciate its potential to be recognized among the most beautiful cities (have been to Warsaw on business a few times and want to return for pleasure. There are a few others I haven’t been to yet that I think also have potential, such as Quebec. Brigs‘ list this time was kind of a mess. I think he needed more diversity in the sources used to create it.
Fira, Santorini, Greece Siena and Florence, Italy Budapest, Hungary Dublin, Ireland Dubrovnik, Croatia Toledo, Spain I have a few more, but these are the ones that you didn't list that I really want to visit.
My Top 10: 10. Rio de Janeiro, Brazil 9. Sydney, Australia 8. Singapore 7. Cancún, México 6. Dubai, UAE 5. Gramado, Brazil 4. Buenos Aires, Argentina 3. Willemstad, Curaçao 2. Zurich, Switzerland 1. Santorini, Greece
I might go a little left-field and recommend Edinburgh! It's a very beautiful city with lots of history, nature, culture, and things to do and definitely deserves to be on this list.
I was in Paris, London, Lisbon, Amsterdam (but for me Rotterdam is better) and New York. They are really beautiful cities. Prague is also a beautiful city and deserve a place in the top 10.
Thanks for another video Briggs! Hope you are well! I know it’s not your personal list, but for what it’s worth, I would definitely include: Brugge, Belgium; San Diego, California; Montreal, Canada; Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Biarritz, France; Miami, Florida. Cheers!
I was in Quebec and Montreal a month ago. Quebec is so European looking Montreal does too! Quebec and Montreal are so beautiful in their own way. Vancouver is a beautiful Canadian city too with the Pacific ocean,and mountains around it.
Love your videos but maybe for this one, travel experts aren't the best to ask. I love & adore my home London, but more beautiful than Venice? Barcelona more beautiful than Seville? And no Bruges, Prague, Vienna, Rio, Sydney, San Fran???
7/10. Have not been to Singapore, Vancouver or Lisbon yet. I would strongly exhort people to visit Buenos Aires in Argentina. Utterly gorgeous and superb for opera, theatre and the arts.
I've been to several of these cities and have heard good things about the others. I too wondered how far Rio de Janeiro and Sydney were off the bottom of the list. They're pretty and they know it (like most of the towns on the list), but they're still pretty. I adore Montréal...
I have been to each of these cities, and agree with most of the assessments. I go with you, though, that New York, while fascinating, is far from beautiful. DC is far more pleasing to the eye. In Spain, I think Valencia is more beautiful than Barcelona, and I'd replace Venice with Vienna. I went to school in Cape Town. Beautiful, not so much. Try either Brisbane or Auckland.
I live in Brisbane. It was always great until recent population boom and housing crisis. Singapore is nice but I wouldn't say it's in top 10 most beautiful. And the humidity is crippling. Lisbon is nice but not sure about top 10. Same with Venice. Venice is ruined by the amount of people. Amsterdam is lovely, except for the red light district & coffee shops!
@@Sammy-il1qf That’s what Amsterdam is about. A place where prostitution and weed is legal and thus people go there to enjoy those things there that are banned in vast majority of the world
Personally, I don’t see anywhere topping Amsterdam. Been there several times. There is something about the atmosphere... from the canals, the architecture, the tulip fields, the windmills... absolutely breathtaking!
I would never have NYC or London listed as beautiful. They are big cities with a lot to do, but not beautiful. Cape Town is the most beautiful city I have been to on this list. I would also put Bruges, Belgium on the list.
I've been to Amsterdam, it's amazing. The canals are so cool, and the food is amazing!!!! Oh and the smart shops ya go to them. But the flight from west coast is LONG. Spent two weeks there in 2019 highly recommended. Also the train system is great, you can get to alot of Europe just on the train from there.
Very well DONE!!! I am with you on Paris and New York. I believe some other cities on this list would be a better choice... just saying :-) Sounded much better!
Thanks to Gaudi's architecture, I agree about Barcelona. I love Venice and Paris, but I was surprised to see New York and London on the list... they are interesting cities, but definitely not beautiful. I would take Rio de Janeiro and San Francisco over New York and London when it comes to eye candy.
No Rio de Janeiro; absolutely nuts. I’ve been to 9 of 10 on your list. All very beautiful, but Rio is absolutely the most beautiful city I have ever been to.
I live in Vancouver, it is a beautiful city. Unfortunately it is becoming too expensive for most locals but nothing beats a place where you can go for hiking, river fishing, ocean diving and skiing ⛷️ all in the same location. I haven’t travelled a lot but I am glad my city made it to the list.
if the locals aka canadians cannot afford t o live in their country but foreigners can then there is something really disgusting and treasonous going on in canada
I’ve been to Paris, London, New York, and Singapore, but the most beautiful city I have ever traveled to in my life is by far Tokyo, Japan. I’m absolutely astonished that it didn’t make the lIst.
Yeah it’s a clean great city but not stunning beautiful like Prague. Just a modern city I guess (I’m Japanese btw) But!! after I saw the whole video, I agree with you, Tokyo or Kyoto should be there if Vancouver and Singapore are in the top 10. I don’t agree with New York would be #2 and Paris? It stinks like human pee!
Dad’s from France and I’ve spent plenty of time in the country. Paris is by far my favorite city not only in France but the world. It’s the quintessential city
Surprised Sydney, Australia; Auckland, New Zealand; Buenos Aires, Argentina; and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil did not make list. I’d give a shout out for Hobart, Australia as well nestled on the banks of the Derwent River with Mt Wellington in the background it it has to be up there for one of the most stunning natural landscapes.
Have you ever visited Indian cities of Jaisalmer, Udaipur etc..... You will be spell bound if you approach Jaisalmer in a Helicopter. My first visit to the city was by a Helicopter from Jodhpur.... Unforgettable experience... You will feel like entering a medieval town.....
Cape Town was a beautiful city to visit, but has become quite dangerous (I have been there many times and have friends who live there). Like Paris, their golden age is finished because of social unrest.
I have been to many of these but New York beautiful NO, though highly entertaining with tons and tons to see and do. Of all the others that I have been to they are beautiful...love the beauty of London, Venice, Amsterdam, Paris...Barcelona and Vancouver just okay for beauty. San Diego is a gorgeous city as are too many others to list
Paris is very beautiful. It seemed to have a heavy air about it and very gloomy. I loved the city, but I thought the Parisians were rude, generally speaking.
I did enjoy this one! I love to see places I may not ever get to go to in person. Thanks for doing this, I am also enjoying your recent series of cities. :) I don't know if you have done a " famous historic " cities but you could do several in that category but it would be fun.
I haven’t been everywhere, but I agree that Paris deserves #1. I visited 3 times before the pandemic and was planning to go again in 2020 but that didn’t work out. In my opinion, France is a beautiful country overall.
All beautiful cities. I was surprised that Prague wasn't on that list. I thought it was a beautiful city. Anyway, they were all beautiful cities, loved the video. Thanks for showing!
I think this is a great video Briggs. So much for the travel professionals. I'm just thinking they're going on the numbers that travel there. But when you're talking about beautiful cities you can easily kick New York City and London off this list have no idea how they think that Florence Italy does not deserve to be on this list. Also San Francisco is everybody's favorite City. But maybe what the leadership has done to the city in the last few years has booted them off the list. Anyway I would easily trade San Francisco for New York and Florence for London
Good job man, i love that list. I think we need to remember that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. But history and a cities that running more than 1000 years have the edges
That is the 25 de Abril Bridge, a suspension bridge connecting the city of Lisbon, the capital of Portugal, to the municipality of Almada on the left bank of the Tagus river.
Ive been to all the cities mentioned. I agree with most on the list. I live in Paris and this past summer was horrible. It was tourist revenge. It was so crowded and noisy and the heatwaves didn’t help. I known tourism is important for the economy, but last summer was the worst ever in the 15 years I’ve lived here.
Nice video. It would be interesting to see what the travel professionals think are the most beautiful smaller cities. NYC though? I'm not sure where the beauty is. Singapore sure looks like a beautiful place
It's all what one likes, I think one of the most beautiful city in the world is Vienna great architecture all those great concert halls that I would like to visit one day.
Hi, Jimin Lachimolola, we have a lot in common I to live in New York and I came from Croatia, so in Croatia, Istra where I come from we have cities that were built during Austro-Hungarian empire absolutly beautiful. Check it out Opatija and Volosko.
Well they're certainly more beautiful than Vancouver, which has natural beauty, but the city itself is a collection of dreadful looking condo buildings crammed into a small area. The downtown is a scary place full of drug addicts and people walking around looking like zombies!!
@@Skanzool title said most BEAUTIFUL cities, it didn't say most beautiful people. You can go to most every city in the world and you will find bad sections and bad people.
If you're going to the trouble to be in Vancouver, catch the ferry and go to Victoria instead. It's 10X better! .....or, just park your vehicle in Port Angeles, walk on the PA ferry and walk off in *_truly_* beautiful historic Victoria !!!
It is.... I'm from SA and Cape Town is the crime capital of SA. Only thing going for it is the neighbourhoods around it. The city itself is extremely unsafe to walk around.. Ask me... I've been mugged twice there.
Considering only the beauty, without taking into account the population or number of visitors, my list would be: 1- Venice, Italy 2- Boston, US 3- Quebec City, Canada 4- Amsterdam, Holland 5- Endinburg, Scotland 6- Rio de Janeiro, Brazil 7- Himeji, Japan 8- Charleston, US 9- Bath, England 10- San Francisco, US
I thought Vienna and Prague were two of the most beautiful cities I've ever been too, although they may be considered smaller cities.
I got to visit Prague just a few months after the wall came down, and before everything got westernized and commercialized. It was so so beautiful !!! Also loved Vienna !!! You've got good taste. 😘
Budapest is great too. Generally lots of the old Austro Hungarian empire cities are beautiful. For instance Ljubljana, Novi Sad/ Subotica , Lviv or Krakow
Great list of beautifully exciting cities
Yeah, they should replace Cape Town and Vancouver who definitely don't belong.
No they should replace New York City and Paris with Prague and Vienna.
I was shocked that Prague didn't make the list ! If you ever get the chance, Prague is one the most amazing places I've ever seen !
agree 100%
It’s a wonderful New Year’s destination!
Agree 100% it's like a fairy tale.
Same, fully agree.
You stole my thunder!! I lived in Prague briefly. I will always remember It’s old world charm. Just beautiful!
I live in Lisbon and I must say this is an incredible city that it is unlike any other. The unique architecture and the overseas influence South American and African cultures have in the city life makes it one of the most interesting cities in the World right now.
It is a shame I will emigrate in less than a year due to the economic struggles Portugal faces (especially when the crisis comes in some months)
Truth....I went to Lisbon on a whim a few years ago and was blown away! It's unique, magical, the people are all shades; I fell in LOVE with it!
Also the weather I heard is unlike Europe.
I visited Lisbon in 2017 and was shocked by how much I loved it. The people are engaging, sweet and kind. The place has such beauty and enchantment. I want to go back so much.
I thought Porto was prettier
Totally agree...I have been there 3 times and must say it's really unique

Cities that could have been on the list in my opinion are Rome, Edinburgh, Stockholm, Vienna, Istanbul, Florens
Istanbul is amazing.
I went there for five days this summer. Stunning!
In my mind, there were two glaring omissions from this list!
Florence, Italy
Victoria, BC, Canada

Perhaps they're not large enough? I would have put RIo.

Kyoto definitely deserves to be on this list. It’s got everything you can ask for. Heritage, beauty, and of course, the hospitality people provide.
Tokyo is amazing. And Kyoto.
Yep that too, Tokyo and Kyoto will be on the list even though Tokyo is the most populated city in earth.

@@borinightmare apt name! 😂
lots of maids in Singapore.
Yeah alot of em. They're mostly diverse in any part of the area.
My Top 10:
10. Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
9. Sydney, Australia
8. Singapore
7. Cancún, México
6. Dubai, UAE
5. Gramado, Brazil
4. Buenos Aires, Argentina
3. Willemstad, Curaçao
2. Zurich, Switzerland
1. Santorini, Greece
Victoria, British Columbia definitely belongs on this list. I have also really liked Stockholm, Oslo, and Osaka.
I agree. I was thinking that Stockholm could be number one.
Love Victoria went there 10 years ago! Took the Clipper ferry from Seattle to get three.
@@darrendawson4800 Yeah, Victoria is a very pretty city. Agreed!
@@seewaage love Vancouver too! Also went to Montreal and Quebec a month ago both very European looking.!
Victoria definitely over Vancouver.
I might go a little left-field and recommend Edinburgh! It's a very beautiful city with lots of history, nature, culture, and things to do and definitely deserves to be on this list.
YES!! I was going to post this same city!
Not having Rio de Janeiro is a joke. The most beautiful city in the world. I’m talking about the geography and landscape.
For architecture, Paris.
I was in Paris, London, Lisbon, Amsterdam (but for me Rotterdam is better) and New York. They are really beautiful cities.
Prague is also a beautiful city and deserve a place in the top 10.
Thanks for another video Briggs! Hope you are well!
I know it’s not your personal list, but for what it’s worth, I would definitely include:
Brugge, Belgium;
San Diego, California;
Montreal, Canada;
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil,
Biarritz, France;
Miami, Florida.
Cheers!
Rio de Janeiro? My guy what are you on
YES to San Diego!
I like your list. Thank you.
Rio and Sydney should be on this list.
I was in Quebec and Montreal a month ago. Quebec is so European looking Montreal does too! Quebec and Montreal are so beautiful in their own way. Vancouver is a beautiful Canadian city too with the Pacific ocean,and mountains around it.
Love old Montreal
Always heard Vancouver is beautiful and green
Quebec City is as close to feeling like you're in Europe without going to Europe as you'll get in North America.
@@timmmahhhh It’s like a French city in Canada
@@thomasgrabkowski8283 yes I've been there
Love your videos but maybe for this one, travel experts aren't the best to ask. I love & adore my home London, but more beautiful than Venice? Barcelona more beautiful than Seville? And no Bruges, Prague, Vienna, Rio, Sydney, San Fran???
7/10. Have not been to Singapore, Vancouver or Lisbon yet. I would strongly exhort people to visit Buenos Aires in Argentina. Utterly gorgeous and superb for opera, theatre and the arts.
What if people are not interested in opera and arts😂
@@InvincibleAkumago to beaches instead a city
A couple I would have thrown on the list for their physical beauty would be Rio De Janeiro & Sydney.
I've been to several of these cities and have heard good things about the others. I too wondered how far Rio de Janeiro and Sydney were off the bottom of the list. They're pretty and they know it (like most of the towns on the list), but they're still pretty. I adore Montréal...
Rio de Janeiro should definitely be on the list
Venice,Rome,Paris,Copenhagen,Amsterdam and Stockholm.
I have been to each of these cities, and agree with most of the assessments. I go with you, though, that New York, while fascinating, is far from beautiful. DC is far more pleasing to the eye. In Spain, I think Valencia is more beautiful than Barcelona, and I'd replace Venice with Vienna. I went to school in Cape Town. Beautiful, not so much. Try either Brisbane or Auckland.
I live in Brisbane. It was always great until recent population boom and housing crisis. Singapore is nice but I wouldn't say it's in top 10 most beautiful. And the humidity is crippling. Lisbon is nice but not sure about top 10. Same with Venice. Venice is ruined by the amount of people. Amsterdam is lovely, except for the red light district & coffee shops!
@@Sammy-il1qf That’s what Amsterdam is about. A place where prostitution and weed is legal and thus people go there to enjoy those things there that are banned in vast majority of the world
@@thomasgrabkowski8283 Not everyone goes for that! As I said, it's beautiful EXCEPT for that.
Personally, I don’t see anywhere topping Amsterdam. Been there several times. There is something about the atmosphere... from the canals, the architecture, the tulip fields, the windmills... absolutely breathtaking!
I think Chicago or Minneapolis are the most beautiful cities in the US
NYC?? Paris is hype. Kyoto is beautiful.
Love Portugal! Lisbon is a beautiful city.
I agree, Paris is number one of the most beautiful city...I want to go back there again.
City is beautiful, but the people's attitudes not much, and is quite dirty on certain time of the day.
Don't overreact
I would never have NYC or London listed as beautiful. They are big cities with a lot to do, but not beautiful. Cape Town is the most beautiful city I have been to on this list. I would also put Bruges, Belgium on the list.
Florence, Boston, Perth, and maybe even Washington! Much of this is about interest rather than beauty. You’re right about Lisbon, though.
I was in Paris back in 1990 and it was
beautiful.
Istanbul is by far the most beautiful I have ever visited,also Lugano in Switzerland
Huh ? It's so dirty and crammed, I couldn't wait to get out of Istanbul.
I also loved Istanbul, but not gonna lie, I saw trash and many dogs very ill
I've been to Amsterdam, it's amazing. The canals are so cool, and the food is amazing!!!! Oh and the smart shops ya go to them. But the flight from west coast is LONG. Spent two weeks there in 2019 highly recommended. Also the train system is great, you can get to alot of Europe just on the train from there.
Amsterdam is much more beautiful than Paris.
Very well DONE!!! I am with you on Paris and New York. I believe some other cities on this list would be a better choice... just saying :-)
Sounded much better!
Thanks to Gaudi's architecture, I agree about Barcelona. I love Venice and Paris, but I was surprised to see New York and London on the list... they are interesting cities, but definitely not beautiful. I would take Rio de Janeiro and San Francisco over New York and London when it comes to eye candy.
I totally agree with your assessment.
I am surprised that Istanbul, Turkey, Athens, Greece is not on the list
No Rio de Janeiro; absolutely nuts. I’ve been to 9 of 10 on your list. All very beautiful, but Rio is absolutely the most beautiful city I have ever been to.
Rio hands down
I live in Vancouver, it is a beautiful city. Unfortunately it is becoming too expensive for most locals but nothing beats a place where you can go for hiking, river fishing, ocean diving and skiing ⛷️ all in the same location. I haven’t travelled a lot but I am glad my city made it to the list.
Athens has all these activities
if the locals aka canadians cannot afford t o live in their country but foreigners can then there is something really disgusting and treasonous going on in canada
I’ve been to Paris, London, New York, and Singapore, but the most beautiful city I have ever traveled to in my life is by far Tokyo, Japan. I’m absolutely astonished that it didn’t make the lIst.
Above Seoul, South Korea!
Clean but i find it ugly
Yeah it’s a clean great city but not stunning beautiful like Prague. Just a modern city I guess (I’m Japanese btw)
But!! after I saw the whole video, I agree with you, Tokyo or Kyoto should be there if Vancouver and Singapore are in the top 10. I don’t agree with New York would be #2 and Paris? It stinks like human pee!
Tokyo is ugly. Singapore is much more beautiful

going to cape town in March... this video made me happy. but ya lost me at New York City... and at Paris.
I was expecting to see Stockholm on this list; clean, canals and water everywhere and amazing light that you can get at these northern latitudes.
Dad’s from France and I’ve spent plenty of time in the country. Paris is by far my favorite city not only in France but the world. It’s the quintessential city
Nice sharing 👍🏾🤩
Greetings from Bali🏝 Indonesia🇮🇩 🙏🏽🤗
Thumbs down to NYC!
I disagree with you. You didn't mention Dubai or China, Shangzhuo, even Shanghai. You just emphasizing on Europe alone.
Lisbon is very beautiful. I only got to spend a morning there waiting for a flight, but walking around the city for a few hours was pretty amazing.
Loved the video on the most beautiful cities! Added so many to my travel list. Great visuals and info
doing double duty today! thanks briggs.
Beautiful & I like it❤
Surprised Sydney, Australia; Auckland, New Zealand; Buenos Aires, Argentina; and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil did not make list. I’d give a shout out for Hobart, Australia as well nestled on the banks of the Derwent River with Mt Wellington in the background it it has to be up there for one of the most stunning natural landscapes.
Have you ever visited Indian cities of Jaisalmer, Udaipur etc..... You will be spell bound if you approach Jaisalmer in a Helicopter. My first visit to the city was by a Helicopter from Jodhpur.... Unforgettable experience... You will feel like entering a medieval town.....
Cape Town was a beautiful city to visit, but has become quite dangerous (I have been there many times and have friends who live there). Like Paris, their golden age is finished because of social unrest.
I was just 3 days in Cape Town, I loved it, luckily I didn't seen any danger
Vienna, Seattle, Medellin, Sydney, Auckland, Istanbul, Prague, St Petersburg,
Seattle, Led Zeppelin and ranch dressing disaster area.
I have been to many of these but New York beautiful NO, though highly entertaining with tons and tons to see and do. Of all the others that I have been to they are beautiful...love the beauty of London, Venice, Amsterdam, Paris...Barcelona and Vancouver just okay for beauty. San Diego is a gorgeous city as are too many others to list
Jerusalem,Lima, Rio de Janeiro, Lisbon,venice, Vancouver,kioto, Moscow.
Paris is very beautiful. It seemed to have a heavy air about it and very gloomy. I loved the city, but I thought the Parisians were rude, generally speaking.
I did enjoy this one! I love to see places I may not ever get to go to in person. Thanks for doing this, I am also enjoying your recent series of cities. :) I don't know if you have done a " famous historic " cities but you could do several in that category but it would be fun.
I haven’t been everywhere, but I agree that Paris deserves #1. I visited 3 times before the pandemic and was planning to go again in 2020 but that didn’t work out. In my opinion, France is a beautiful country overall.
I lived in Paris and don't deserved to be in the top 10 anymore !
@@rogernguyen1273 oops!
If I was independently wealthy I'd move to Portugal tomorrow.
Venice was one of my favorite places that I went to while studying abroad in Italy. It was especially neat to see because the Biennale was in town.
Chicago is much more beautiful than nyc
I been to Chicago more times than NYC
I cant see how either belong on a world list. Moronic nepotism but the producers i guess
I am from Chicago, the skyline is beautiful.
@@newshound2521im from chicag and i agree
Stockholm is definitely one of the most beautiful cities I've ever been to.
Yep, love it, I was just there. I love how walkable it is, it's peaceful, and the arts in the metro stations are awesome.
I Like when Briggs says “Get it, Got it, Good!”😄
All beautiful cities. I was surprised that Prague wasn't on that list. I thought it was a beautiful city. Anyway, they were all beautiful cities, loved the video. Thanks for showing!
I was kinda surprised not to see Auckland new zealand, Sydney Australia, or zurich switzerland on the list.
Fabulous share and channel friends THANKS see you again cheers
I think this is a great video Briggs. So much for the travel professionals. I'm just thinking they're going on the numbers that travel there. But when you're talking about beautiful cities you can easily kick New York City and London off this list have no idea how they think that Florence Italy does not deserve to be on this list. Also San Francisco is everybody's favorite City. But maybe what the leadership has done to the city in the last few years has booted them off the list. Anyway I would easily trade San Francisco for New York and Florence for London
Good job man, i love that list. I think we need to remember that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. But history and a cities that running more than 1000 years have the edges
2:33 that looks like the golden gate bridge
That is the 25 de Abril Bridge, a suspension bridge connecting the city of Lisbon, the capital of Portugal, to the municipality of Almada on the left bank of the Tagus river.
@@ishfarahmed3684 Possible but I did not do a deep dive into it when we were in Lisbon because there was too much to see.
I loved living in London. And loved being able to catch a train to Paris. And Brussels. And Bath, Edinburgh, Cambridge, Oxford, etc.
Ive been to all the cities mentioned. I agree with most on the list. I live in Paris and this past summer was horrible. It was tourist revenge. It was so crowded and noisy and the heatwaves didn’t help. I known tourism is important for the economy, but last summer was the worst ever in the 15 years I’ve lived here.
Im so sorry that Happend to you,I hope it calmed down. :,(
@@DaveGrohlsprincess No need to apologize.We need tourists, but we were just to use to overload. I'm sure it'll get back to normal.
The food in France I ate was better than the US
Wohooo Vancouver 🇨🇦, as a 🇨🇦, 💙 to here that
Nice video. It would be interesting to see what the travel professionals think are the most beautiful smaller cities. NYC though? I'm not sure where the beauty is. Singapore sure looks like a beautiful place
It's all what one likes, I think one of the most beautiful city in the world is Vienna great architecture all those great concert halls that I would like to visit one day.
Hi, Jimin Lachimolola, we have a lot in common I to live in New York and I came from Croatia, so in Croatia, Istra where I come from we have cities that were built during Austro-Hungarian empire absolutly beautiful. Check it out Opatija and Volosko.
NYC 🇺🇸 💪👍
I wore my wedding dress on my honeymoon on one of those gondolas in Venice. Everyone kept clapping and yelling kiss in Italian, and we would.
Wonderful Beautiful Video. Excellent ALL Beautiful colorful Video. I like this beautiful Video. Thank you so much sharing this wonderful Video.
2: New York
3: London
Most beautiful cities in the world, you got to be kidding ???
To be fair he gave ahuge disclaimer in the beginning of his vid that this list is biased so there's that
Salzburg, Zurich, Stuttgart, Prague, Budapest, Sydney, Kyoto, Daejeon, Haifa, Istanbul, Orlando, San Francisco...
2 Canadian cities that I would include, Montreal and Quebec city. They're overlooked all the time, but they are very beautiful.
Well they're certainly more beautiful than Vancouver, which has natural beauty, but the city itself is a collection of dreadful looking condo buildings crammed into a small area. The downtown is a scary place full of drug addicts and people walking around looking like zombies!!
@@Skanzool title said most BEAUTIFUL cities, it didn't say most beautiful people. You can go to most every city in the world and you will find bad sections and bad people.
Thanks for all the research and editing. I appreciate this list. Been following your channel a long time. Rock on!!!! Fan from Santa Cruz.
Charleston SC and San Francisco are so beautiful.
Definitely Charleston !
Deng! 8/10. Im blessed. Thanks God for this blessings. Just need to visit Vancouver and South America.
If you're going to the trouble to be in Vancouver, catch the ferry and go to Victoria instead. It's 10X better!
.....or, just park your vehicle in Port Angeles, walk on the PA ferry and walk off in *_truly_* beautiful historic Victoria !!!
Interesting list Briggs, especially considering Cape Town is on it... [I guess it isn't as violent now.]
It is.... I'm from SA and Cape Town is the crime capital of SA. Only thing going for it is the neighbourhoods around it. The city itself is extremely unsafe to walk around.. Ask me... I've been mugged twice there.
Considering only the beauty, without taking into account the population or number of visitors, my list would be:
1- Venice, Italy
2- Boston, US
3- Quebec City, Canada
4- Amsterdam, Holland
5- Endinburg, Scotland
6- Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
7- Himeji, Japan
8- Charleston, US
9- Bath, England
10- San Francisco, US
rio…….
@@MrLaxsavage what about Rio?🤔
Paris the first
Yeah you never been to Cape Town. It's breathtaking
Edimburgh, yes. But Charleston?... San Francisco??!
