Looking at so many topics about different places, I made up my mind to start another one. The question might look simple to you, but it really interests me. 

 

So, what city that you have been to actually has its own spirit, atmosphere, something personal about this place? The only city that I've been to for a long time is Baltimore, MD, and I feel really personal towards it, however some other places where I stayed only for a few days or hours also have something special about them, while others do not.

 

I can definitely say that NYC has something about it that makes the Big Apple unique - whether it's Brooklyn or Manhattan or Harlem or whatever, this city has its own identity.

Chicago is a wonderful place for sure, leaves an impression even if you spend only a day there. Those steel curbs and narrow streets!

D.C. is also impressive, especially the downtown area. Suburbs do look quite general though. 

I was disappointed that Las Vegas didn't impress me at all: some concrete cubs in the middle of a desert with casinos inside. Pity.

 

European cities have even more of that special thing the way I see it. London, Ashford, Edinburgh (one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen, while Glasgow left no mark), Luxembourg, small French or German towns... 

 

So, which city has some personal about it, in your opinion?

 

I'd like to hear some Americans as well since it's a common opinion that most U.S. cities are alike.
