What is the most beautiful town/city in your country?

I am a massive loser who likes reading and learning about urban planning and architecture. I've asked a few people at random times to tell me their opinions on what is the most beautiful settlement in their country, and have been very pleased to discover places I had never heard of.

Beauty is of course entirely subjective, and people (myself DEFINITELY included) can often be biased in their choices, since they're likely to be fonder of towns which they've had many happy memories in. It's still fascinating to share these opinions though!

To kick things off I would like to submit my home town in Somerset, Englan😛 Bath!

Great Pulteney Street

Elegant Georgian buildings, harmonious effect of using the warm coloured stone of the local quarries-- I think it's a magical place. Tell me about your most beautiful cities!
