25 of the Best Cities to Live In

20. Chicago, USA


Chicago or the Windy City has a vibrancy but is also down-to-earth. Though it is a huge city with around 2.7 million people, surprisingly, there is a peaceful ambiance behind its bustling streets. It has a dynamic skyline, with job opportunities growing in recent years, especially in the fields of technology, healthcare, and finance. But once work is over, Chicago is multicultural. 

You get to enjoy world-class museums, historic neighborhoods, underground jazz clubs, and restaurants hidden in the nooks and crannies of the city – from deep-dish pizza to gourmet restaurants. Open spaces with spectacular views, lakeside parks, and bike paths work to balance the metropolitan feel. Despite the grandeur of the city, the communities here are closely knit.
