The views
This really goes without saying. In any city, the skyline is the most notable feature and stands out even from a distance. There's also no denying how amazing it looks at any time of the day.
Green space
A lot of people don't like big cities because they think there's a lack of nature. Sure, there's far less greenery than in the suburbs but the green space that is present is beautiful. Nothing beats a nice day in a city park, admiring the architecture around you.
Being able to walk almost anywhere
Walking is the best form of transportation for so many reasons. It's great exercise, it's available 24/7, and most importantly, it's free.
Too far to walk? Public transportation is there for you.
Of course there are times when you can't walk where you need to go. But that's what public transportation is for. Every major city in the world has a system, whether it be buses or subways. The best part? It's affordable.
The diversity
Cities have large populations and therefore also offer enormous diversity. From Chinatown to Little Italy, every city has a hub for individual cultures. With this comes the opportunity to sample the world in one place.
Food
Cities have so much to offer when it comes to food. The abundance of eateries alone is great and there's definitely something for every budget, mood, and preferences.
Arts
Nothing beats the city for the arts. From plays, live shows, and museums, to clubs, concerts, and festivals, cities have the most to offer. Living in the city is super convenient when your favorite band or show comes to town, because chances are you don't have to travel very far.
Shopping
Great for convenience, terrible for your wallet. Regardless, cities have every store you could imagine. It's also undeniable that cities are the go-to places for current trends and styles.
Endless opportunities
Whether you're a student or adult, the city will help you further your interests. So many people move to the city in search of opportunity and I mean, they're not lying. Cities have so much to offer to advance your education or career.
You will never be bored.
It's impossible to live in a city and complain of boredom. It just doesn't happen. There's always something going on, any time of the day. And if you can't find anything, you can always just take a walk and admire your bustling and lively home.
