I'm glad and grateful to say I've visited all the cities in the Top 10, except for Honolulu and Chicago. I definitely want to make the trip to both those cities at some point in my life, though. I love traveling - both in the US and abroad. I love experiencing different cultures, different people, different foods. I love seeing different architecture, sights and attractions, and wildlife. "The world is a book. And those who do not travel read only one page."

Chicago should have been at least #2 on this list. So much to do. It is amazing.

I have lived in the bay area (across the bay from San Francisco) my whole life. If you want some advice when visiting here's what I always tell visiting relatives.
1.) Wear pants. It's on the water under a fog hand. It's freaking cold when the sun is out, and freezing when the sun is down.
2.) The wharf is a wharf. Don't expect it to smell any better.
3.) San Francisco is a walking city so don't expect to find parking spots.
4.) It's much smaller than you think. You could walk the entire city in a day and still have time for lunch.
5.)Every touristy place will be crowded so get there early.
6.) No native ever calls it "San-Fran" or "Franny" or any other name you can come up with. It's just "the city" if you're across the Bay, or "San Francisco" You don't want to be labeled as a tourist. Oakland is a fifteen/forty-five minute drive away. You get labeled as a tourist, your stuff gets stolen.

Isn’t America wonderful? Each state is practically its own country. God bless America.

My three favorite American cities are LA, Vegas, and San Diego.

[MissUnicon]

New York and Chicago only for me They are my biggest cities in USA

[KoTM]

Chicago made top 10 must visit cities and top 10 most dangerous cities lol. Gotta love my hometown..

[ZhangtheGreat]

Not a big fan of New York (maybe I visited at the wrong time), but definitely a fan of Seattle. Glad it at least got an honorable mention; I know making the list was probably tough given the number of great tourist cities in this country.

In my Opinion, Seattle should easily make the list. I've lived there my entire life, and there are so many amazing things to do. There's some amazing family activities at Seattle Center, which is home to the Space needle, the Seattle Fountain, Chihuly Garden of glass, and one of the best museums in the city, the MOPOP (Museum of Pop Culture). The Waterfront is breathtaking. The Seattle wheel gives some unreal views of the Puget sound and the city, the seafood there is unbeatable, and the Aquarium is awesome as well. So many other places also occupy it, including Wings over Washington. The ferry system is one of the biggest in the world. Some great day trips are available, like the San Juan Islands, Whidbey Island, and Blake Island, which is home to some Native American Culture. This can also be found in Pioneer Square, which is the historic part of the city, with some beautiful parks and buildings, and delicious food. Of course, Seattle is also known for Pike Place Market. (Seriously, you cannot go to Seattle and not stop there) and also it's neighborhoods. Ballard, Greenlake, and Fremont are all beautiful neighborhoods, with some amazing parks and downtown areas. Speaking of parks, Gasworks park sits along Lake Union, which is a gorgeous park just east of Downtown. Along it's shores sit some super cool places, including the University of Washington, which also sits along lake Washington, which is a little farther east and much bigger. During the Summer, Sea fair happens along the shores, where hydroplanes race, and the blue angels do shows. Trust me, there is nowhere you wanna be in the summer other than Seattle.
