In North America, the cities are FAR more unique than every other continent.You have the largest variety of one of a kind cities that deliver EXTREMELY DIFFERENT EXPERIENCES out there
North America have the most fun/well known cities in the world i agree but Europe still have more UNIQUE cities tho!
I like the Americas for the whole clash and melding of civilizations thing that has been going on for the past 500 years. The way these two contintents have changed in such a short time I think is unprecedented. To think that the middle ages was a longer period than the entire history of the Americas after European arrival, and that in that time we have created new ethnicities, new culutures and new nations that are still in a process of assimulating people from before the time of Columbus is pretty fascinating. I see this process still happening when I see the Bolivian Indian immigrant street sellers here in Rio speaking a language that is probably quechua but whose children go to public schools and are learning portuguese. You can tell the more recent arrivals because the woman usually still use traditional clothes, but after a while they seem to get into wearing shorts and flipflops like everybody else.
It's remarkable that the majority of the respondents named one of the continents where the culture and the economy and the geography and the history are the most similar to your own.
It's as if "different" and "interesting" are diametrically opposite concepts. What does that say about natural curiosity?
It's like, if I tell you something that you had already known, you would reply "Oh, that's interesting!"

For me, it has to be EUROPE !!
But its totally personal, some people think North America is the most interesting continent, and i find it to be the least interesting (well, i ve been there, and i feel i ve seen a lot about it due to cultural imperialism, lol. Plus, it seems to be very new and monotonous and uninteresting and not very cultural. Landscape wise, though, it must be really interesting) and i feel Europe is utterly interesting for all the history it has, for the architecture, the people, and all the stories behind even the smallest rock. Its such a rich continent if you are interested in History!!!
Then, i would love to go to South and central America (the parts i havent been yet), Africa, Asia and OceanÃa.
I find North America to be the most boring and monotonous by far.

the most fun/well known cities in the world? seriously? who thinks that? Maybe you and some of your friends, lol.
You cant seriously be saying that N.America has more fun/well known cities than PARIS, ROME, LONDON, AMSTERDAM, BERLIN, BARCELONA, etc. The only city that can compare to this cities is NEW YORK. Besides that, Europe is like a million times more well-known and famous for the rest of the world than N.America cities.
