Yet more Europeans visit Los Angeles and San Francisco than any city on the East Coast other than New York.

DC and Philly are only 2-3 Hours apart with Baltimore in between. That could make for a nice Mid-Atlantic city tour, with NYC being another 1.5 Hours Northeast of Philly.

The rest of Texas is mostly suburbias, massive SUV's, big highways, big people and shopping malls, the kind you see everywhere else in the US!

Miami = colorful latin culture, tropical, art deco, attractive people, good food
NYC = multicultural, interesting, world city
chicago = smaller NYC
NOLA = french culture, good cajun food
California = nice spain influence, beautiful beaches, mediterranean weather
New mexico = amazing with the pueblos and the unique native american and mexican culture

by the way my dad is an American so I am a dual US citizen

I too would recommend San Antonio. I don't agree that Texas is all suburbia. Texas is a huge state and a lot of small towns, ranches and the Hill Country is beautiful!. East Texas has a lot of forest, West Texas is desert, North Texas plains and South Texas has the gulf. It is a very diverse state.

I grew up in Southern California but Orange County and Los Angeles County is all suburbs. San Diego is beautiful and once you get north of L.A. California is amazing.

I didn't realize these were overall foreign tourist numbers and not specific to Europeans. The link below ranks American cities by the number of European travelers. The 10 most popular U.S. cities among European travelers are:

New York (surprise!)
Las Vegas
Miami
San Francisco
Los Angeles
Orlando
Boston
Chicago
Washington,DC
San Diego

Since NYC would get the plurality, if not the majority of votes, it would make the poll statistically meaningless, and the discussion boring.

This way, we can talk about what tourists think of other American cities as tourist destinations.

NYC is a great place to visit, but there is more to America.
