In my opinion, cities of the Old World have more charme, cities of the New World are easier to adopt if you are a foreigner.
When it comes to beauty, I think nothing beats Mediterranean towns and cities.
Here is my list from my travels:

Towns and small cities:

1) Venice
2) Brugge
3) Salzburg
4) Dubrovnik
5) Heidelberg
6) Oxford
7) Zurich
8) Quebec City
9) Toledo
10) Savannah

Major Cities:

1) Roma
2) Barcelona
3) Paris
4) Prague
5) Vienna
6) Florence
7) Munich
8) San Francisco
9) Buenos Aires
10) Istanbul, Sanaa, Isfahan

Have not yet been to: Dubai, Shanghai, Tokyo, Sydney, Rio, Cape Town
Very nice: Berlin, Bordeaux, Amsterdam, The Hague, Oslo, Stockholm, Copenhagen, Madrid, Krakow, St. Petersburg, Kiev, San Diego, Boston, Hamburg
Was not impressed by: Vancouver (granted, beautiful setting, but other than that?), Toronto, Houston, Dallas, Miami, Brussels, Cairo, Abidjan, Lima, La Paz, Guyaquil, Caracas, Helsinki, Moscow, Baku, Ankara, Tehran, Amman, Los Angeles, Frankfurt, Cologne (yet great people!)

I've never seen much of Europe (had an overnight layover in Brussels and Zurich) BUT, I have spent some time in China and I must say Hangzhuo is wonderful and the West Lake is breathtaking.

St Petersburg
Buenos Aires
Cartagena de Indias
Toronto
Montreal (french New York)
Medellin (mountain/valley setting is breathtaking)
