What is the prettiest and ugliest cities you have been to?

The prettiest for me is: Gold Coast Australia and Sydney but some suburbs of Sydney is ugly
The ugliest cities for me is: Launceston Australia and Ipoh Malaysia

Belfast manages both, depends on which part you go to, there are cities that beat it in almost every single way, but they don't quite have the charm... well maybe Baghdad does but I haven't been there.

partietraumatic · 28th Dec 2009, 04:36 AM

hmm Valencia was really pretty. Tbh my hometown of Oxford would be considered by many people to be on of the prettiest in the world

As for ugly, i thought Los Angeles was pretty ugly lol

Lychee · 28th Dec 2009, 05:03 AM

Prettiest would probably have to be Paris, but that's coz I was staying in a really good part of it.
Ugliest would be Ho Chi Minh City. So many motorbikes and the electrical wires were everywhere..

Baghdad isnt a very pretty sight to behold, its pretty scarred up.

I love San Francisco. Even the rundown areas seem to exude a charm.

The ugliest? It pains me to say so, but Denver. I love the city to death, but it's just not pleasant to look at. In the winter, it's either buried in snow or everything is dead. In the summer, it's often in a drought, and everything is brown. The architecture ranges from boring to ugly, too.

The ugliest has to be Hartford, CT. It's filled with urban decay. I'm not sure what the prettiest city would be though.

ethelred · 28th Dec 2009, 10:21 AM

Ugliest: Philadelphia, and not the pretty part of town outside the Franklin Institute. I mean the part of town when you turn a corner and suddenly everything is overgrown duplexes and old apartments with broken toys in the yards. *shiver*

Prettiest: Montpelier, VT. It may only take ten minutes to walk cross town, but it is compact, clean, stout, and made of bricks. Just an adorable little city.

Ander Blue · 28th Dec 2009, 10:55 AM

Prettiest big city: Boston
Prettiest small city: Kalispell, MT
Ugliest big city: Albany, NY
Ugliest small city: Butte, MT

have you been to east Belfast?

Gin Uh Fur · 28th Dec 2009, 12:14 PM

dont have a pretty one

but hoboken NJ is fairly gross looking.

28th Dec 2009, 12:35 PM

I would have to say the ugliest city I have been to is Vancouver, BC. For the prettiest I am going to agree with Lex and go with San Francisco. I have visited San Francisco twice and I am totally in love with it...alot of happy memories there

.

Phoenix · 28th Dec 2009, 12:39 PM

I love Boston. I still think it's an amazingly good looking city, especially at night. All the run down areas even seem nice to me. I want to live there when I'm older. I think Orlando is pretty gross. Well in the summer anyway, because it's all hazy and humid and it makes me claustrophobic.

mattypants · 28th Dec 2009, 12:46 PM

for pretty, i too lean towards san Francisco

ugliest ive been too?...i'll get back to you on that

revolutionrock · 28th Dec 2009, 12:48 PM

I was totally thinking San Francisco, and then I was stoked to see I'm not alone.

Ugliest, probably Phoenix or Tucson, AZ. Both really gross cities.

i cant speak for tuscon, but i cant see phoenix as being that ugly. chunks of LA make phoenix look clean and pretty

Nodnarb · 28th Dec 2009, 01:03 PM

Prettiest I've been to would be downtown Chicago at night.

Ugliest...I dunno. Bismarck, North Dakota was bad. It didn't help that I was there in the middle of winter. And when discussing crappy cities, I have to make the obligatory Council Bluffs, Iowa mention. There really isn't anything pretty in Counciltucky.

Markio · 28th Dec 2009, 01:59 PM

Prettiest: Providence, RI, since everyone is saying San Fran...

Ugliest: Probably LA, there's way too much smog. And the mountains in the background are all dry and blah.

This, although once I visit NYC I'm sure I'll think differently.

As far as ugliest cities go, I don't really find anyplace I've ever been to ugly. They all have good parts and bad parts.

ANightDude · 28th Dec 2009, 02:13 PM

Prettiest: San Antonio, Texas. Not the entire city, but downtown is just incredible.

Ugliest: Houston, Texas. Ugh...
