The 10 Most Beautiful Cities in America

Not only are these beautiful cities economically thriving, they have everything you could want to raise a family: lots of green space, good schools and a strong sense of community.

10. Edgartown, Massachusetts

Edgartown is a city in the American state of Massachusetts, built on the Martha Vineyards in Dukes County. This is the center of Dukes County. The island in this place, mostly known as a private settlement for wealthy and famous people, is the most impressive island of Edgartown, the largest and most expensive place in the vineyards. An attractive collection of carefully preserved Victorian sea captains' houses and shops and galleries lie next to the harbour. "Wander the city's tidy streets with a homemade ice cream from Mad Martha's (which has been around since 1971) and you'll have everything you need for the perfect day," said Arabella Bowen, executive editor at Fodor.

9. Key West, Florida

Closer to Cuba than the mainland of the United States, Key West exudes a relaxed, casual atmosphere unlike almost any other city in the country. Here, for example, there is a life that plays and plays itself. Take your kids to watch dolphins, rent a boat to catch swordfish, or relax on the beach by the crystal blue waters. Coming here is another fun part of the job. The 204-kilometer Overseas Highway is the only way in or out of the mainland. Moreover, there is no other road like it in the country. If that wasn't enough, Key West is also home to the only National Park accessible by boat, where you can do snorkeling, diving, or just explore the area.

8. Longview, Washington

Even the port industry centered around the Lewis & Clark Bridge doesn't detract from the beauty of one of the Pacific Northwest's most impressive cities. Foster Church, author of the book “Discovering Main Street: Travel Adventures in Small Towns of the Northwest,” said of the city, “This is one of the most unique places, if not the only planned community in the West.” It all started when a wealthy lumber manufacturer decided to build two lumber mills in this area because it was close to the Columbia River. He needed 14,000 workers to run these workshops, so in 1921 he founded a city in which 50,000 people could live. Today, the city retains the feel of a former lumberyard town and is home to the beauty of Sacajawea Park, a neatly planned but serene park that Foster calls "one of the most beautiful parks I've ever seen."

7. Athens, Georgia

It's a college town that gained some minor fame in the '80s and '90s thanks to B-52, REM, and many other creative musical cultures. Athens continues to gain more fame lately for its post-industrial success story. Old factories, gallery houses and stores have been renovated and beautified, but production may have ended despite this. The city is still trying to hold on to its glorious identity. Jason Cochran, editor-in-chief of Frommer's.com, said of the city, "It continues to make the most painful developments at the lowest level." Here you can see the paths of the magnificent and old Georgian mansions that are still found in the best cities. So you can feel the vibrant mix of crooked, redbrick warehouses and steep 'Greek Revival' mansions.

6. Tarrytown, New York

Tarrytown's rich history, including being the crossing point on the underground railroad, was described by Washington Irving in his story "The Headless Horseman", and later on, it is one of the out-of-town spots preferred by the rich and powerful people of New York, which you can see wherever you look in the cities near the Hudson River. It makes a profit for itself. Lyndhurst, the city's castle-like palace of highly respected robber baron Jay Gould, is visited by throngs of visitors every year. The city has hosted plenty of entertaining and cultural events, such as the famous Tarrytown Film Festival (repeated from 1971 to 2006), organized by '70s and '80s film critic Judith Crist.

5. Fort Benton, Montana

Font Benton is the city located in Chouteau County, Montana, USA, and is the county seat. In 1961, part of the city was designated a District of National Historic Significance. Founded in 1846 before the American Civil War, Fort Benton is one of the oldest settlements in the American West. Founded as a fur trading center in 1847, the city became very wealthy in the 1860s, when money from the Gold Rush flowed eastward. The railroad eventually halted the city's development, but Fort Benton nevertheless gained a reputation as a place where disputes were regularly restrained by force. "Jesse James and all the thugs used to gun down these streets, and then you could forget about it all on Main Street," said Andrew Evans, one of National Geographic's Digital Explorers.

4. Breckenridge, Colorado

In a state known for its impressive Alpine-style cities, Breckenridge is uniquely located for its stunning scenery, charming streets, family-friendly atmosphere and, most importantly for many visitors, a wide variety of world-class skiing options. With giant hills, over 150 bike trails, North America's tallest ski lift, and a variety of options for everyone from the most daring newbies to the seasoned backcountry daredevil, Breck truly has something to offer everyone. Although the city is lively from November to early April, there are plenty of things to do here in the warmer months too, from hiking to fishing and mountain biking.

3. Gatlinburg, Tennessee

With its charming downtown buildings, exciting mountain scenery, and the only ski resort in Tennessee, Gatlinburg is becoming a popular tourist destination for those looking for some local fun. Located on the border of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Gatlinburg takes advantage of this location's tourist draw and supplements it with attractions like an overhead tram, an aquarium, whitewater rafting, hiking, and even a haunted house. But let's not fool ourselves. As charming as it is irresistible, this city in Tennessee draws its real attention from nature. National Geographic's general manager of travel, Zain Haboo, says the city is "definitely worth a visit, as are the mountain tulips around Gatlinburg and the wildflowers that appear on the hills in spring in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park."

2. Camden, Maine

Camden is a famous summer destination located in the mid-coast coast of Maine. Like Bar Harbor, Nantucket, and North Refuge, Camden is known for its summer community composed mostly of affluent Northeasterners from Boston, New York, and Philadelphia. This place is like a movie set. In fact, this place has been a movie set many times. Camden, like many New England seaside villages, has a certain salty sandstone, allowing many working-class people to show their roots. The residents of the region are quite prosperous these days. 'Where the mountains meet the sea' the city displays all its splendor. One of the best ways to see Camden is from a high point above the harbour, Mt. The best way to look at the city from nearby Battie. In Penobscot Bay, white sailboats bubble the water and seaside seafood dinners dot the shore. If you want to watch an autumn fireworks show filled with reds, oranges, yellows and purples, visit in September, when the season begins.

1. Newport, Rhode Island

This place is known for being one of the "Summer White Houses" greyhound cities. Stuck in time but allowing modern touches through a coincidental gap in the space-time process, Newport is a beyond-perfect New England city with its charming harbor and old houses. Newport's fame began with summertime visitors in the 19th century, the city's magnets, and the city continues to attract visitors in large groups with its daytime shopping, dining and sightseeing options. In the evenings, one of the city's many music festivals or a variety of bars attract local students and ardent party fans who can rock out to loud music late into the night. However, the city itself ranks first among America's small cities in the category of best-preserved colonial homes and gilded age mansions. It continues to attract attention with its reputation as a luxurious resident and its history as a favored summer destination from 1953 to approximately 1963. In addition, this is where a significant part of the maritime training centers are located.
