Smaller Cities with Big Personality!

The size of a city does not necessarily reflect the level of fun and personality of a place. Check out our list of 7 great world cities that are small in comparison to many global metropolises such as Tokyo or London, but have an atmosphere that draws people year after year. Smaller cities are often easier to get around, less crowded and can be a little more friendly. The ETG teams personal favourite is San Diego.

 You can now download eBook versions of Lonely Planet as individual chapters for a few dollars or euros, and read them on your tablet, smartphone, eBook reader or laptop.

 ETG Tip: Smaller cities often have less accommodation especially in peek season or during cultural events. Book ahead when you can and download the Lonely Planet travel guides listed below for up-to-date accommodation options to suit all budgets.
