On this page, we visit the many gorgeous cities of the world. Since the beginning of civilization, mankind has discovered the advantage to living in close proximity to one another. The convenience of communally sharing readily available resources leads to the creation of villages, towns, cities and eventually metropolis. Every city has a character of its own and is beautiful in its own way.

Featured here are not just "cities" but also villages, towns and other urban communities that have developed their own character and soul.
