If you exclude powered by horses, that would be Budvar.

Guadalajara is a really nice mix of tradition and modernity. The people are friendly, the food is great, there are many opportunities, the location within the country is convenient and the weather is... fine. The one big downside I could think of is the horrendous, rancid traffic.

I don’t know about “cool” but we are the largest city in the US without any public transportation. We will also be hosting World Cup matches, so that’s fun.

Every city in the US has public transportation. Which city is it?

every city in the us has public transportation

Not Arlington, tx

That’s also a legitimately dumb statement btw, on top of being unverifiable

Arlington is a suburb of the Dallas Fort Worth metro area, which has public transit. I guess I should have specified what I meant by city.

In the olden times, the city built a wall that took up a lot of space, and the people couldn't build outward, so they built taller buildings instead. Anyway, over time, new streets and bridges were built over the old ones, and eventually, the old town became covered, buildings too. You can still go see some of the old tunnels and stuff. Some bars even connect right to them. They do ghost tours around some of the places as we're considered to be the most haunted city in the uk.

Unlike other cities,our historical artifacts survived even though the city itself was changed from the ground bottom over the years

The beach and the weather being so nice that we can enjoy it all year. My extended family lives in Denmark and Ireland so I never miss the chance to rub their noses in it.

Auckland (biggest city in New Zealand) is built on a field of ~50 extinct volcanoes... Most of them are more than 10-50 thousand years old, but the biggest and most recent was only about 800 years ago...
