"New Orleans is an amazing place to visit and live," said one proud American resident. With incredible food, famous festivals, climate and colour the city is phenomenal.

From Norfolk to Honolulu and Boston, American cities feature some of the world's most thriving hubs, culture, music and impeccable cuisine.

When the survey was taken for American cities to be ranked, the names got everyone's jaw dropped. The list included spectacular escapes such as North Carolina, Asheville, San Antonio and much more.

North Carolina is a booming city with so much to see and do. Several visitors noticed that the food and drink were quite thriving. The flourishing beer scene is beyond comparison.

So, which are the top cities in the United States? We have listed out the top ten and you'll be surprised to know that your favourites might stand out as the best holiday destinations in the US.
