Ask yourself what makes a city beautiful and the answer may surprise you. Is it the natural landscapes, the architecture or the people?
FlightNetwork, the Canadian travel site, has compiled its list of the World’s 50 Most Beautiful Cities, and it’s definitely a who’s-who — make that a where’s-where — of iconic metropolises. In other words, all of the above.
FlightNetwork’s list was created by mining the expertise of more than a thousand travel writers, bloggers and agencies from all around the globe. Whether beloved for architecture, scenic landscapes or stunning landmarks, the top 10 represent the biggies, from Paris, which topped the list, to Venice, Italy (No. 4), Barcelona, Spain (No. 6) and Rome, Italy (No. 10). Condé Naste Traveler, which released a similar list earlier this year, also featured these five cities in its top 10.
