Top 6 most interesting cities in the USA
San Francisco, California.
The Most Interesting City in America has long been recognized as one of the most unique places in the world. From the high towers of the Golden Gate Bridge to the rocky walls of Alcatraz; from the twin peaks in the heart of the city to the downtown cable cars; the landscape of San Francisco is as famous as it is beautiful. There is more to this city than a handful of nice attractions, however. Some will be surprised to learn, for example, that San Francisco is among the most diverse cities in the country--sixth out of the 200 cities we examined.
New Orleans, Louisiana
A city filled with magic and rich with history,its mix of cultural influences are as unique as they are interesting, ranging from Spanish Creole, to French, to American South. That cultural heritage becomes twice as interesting when accompanied by a drink: on New Orleans’s Bourbon Street, bars often stay open around the clock, and its legal to take alcohol into the street in a “to-go” cup. Plus, with nearly six drinking establishments for every 10,000 residents, New Orleans is the only city that has a greater concentration of bars than San Francisco.
Austin, Texas
There’s a lot going on in Austin. It is the capital of the second most heavily populated state in the country. It is home to the largest public university in the country. Each year it plays host to several of the nation’s most significant arts festivals, including Austin City Limits and South by Southwest. While this may be too much action for the weak heart, many outsiders are finding Austin’s pull too strong to fight: a population growth rate of 2.4% make Austin the 10th most rapidly growing city in our study.
Washington, DC
The only East Coast city to be in the top five, the nation’s capital is a city at once filled with history and ripe with opportunity. Landmarks such as the National Mall, the Lincoln Memorial and the Washington Monument misrepresent a city that is anything but stuck in the past. The District is a destination for many of the country’s most ambitious and energetic individuals, people who hope to reshape the very future of a nation.
Oakland, California
The population of Oakland ranked in our analysis as the second most diverse in the country, behind only Honolulu, Hawaii. That diversity has contributed to Oakland’s deserved reputation as a cultural capital: it claims among its current and former residents Oscar-winners (Clint Eastwood, Tom Hanks), musicians (Billy Joe Armstrong, Keyshia Cole), influential writers (Daniel Alarcon, Jack London) and even the inventor of the popsicle (*棒)(Frank Epperson).
Seattle, Washington
Seattle has always attracted interesting, and some might say strange people, and many cultural movements have arisen from the region over the years. Today’s Seattle is more tech, but that doesn’t make the Emerald City any less appealing to outsiders: Seattle ranked 6th on our list for population growth.
