How this was counted. Counted the same way as Most Beautiful City in the World: by distinct redditor who names a city, top-level or in a reply, with upvotes on the naming comments breaking ties. Agreement without a name (“Came here to say this”) adds nothing, and a city named only to knock it — “I would 100% NOT consider it beautiful” of Cologne, “you’ve clearly never been to Hamilton” — isn’t a vote. Answers that aren’t a city (the Cotswolds, the Isle of Skye, Lake Bled) are left out; villages people gave as their answer stay, and so do the jokes: Gary, Indiana, followed in the replies by Scranton and Reno. The whole thread, 174 of 178 comments. Set it next to the other list. Asked for the most beautiful city in the world, a travel subreddit put Rio and Venice first and Paris third. Asked for the most beautiful one you’ve visited, AskReddit named Rio and Paris twice each and went instead for Vancouver, Vienna, Prague and Edinburgh — the four cities that sit near the top of both. Ghent is the surprise: five votes here, three there.
