I know I am going to be attacked for saying this: how 'bout Las Vegas? Parts of it look like Ancient Rome and wasn't that the Eifel Tower I saw there one night??????

Martine

Ok Pelvis. What about the other part of your country.. Don't you have more of these Eiffel Towers? I saw a (very very) little one in Epcot!

ghytrh

OLd Boston looks like London. They were built at the same time because of the fire that ruined much of London's original buildings.

Euro

You all could only wish that any US city could have even an iota of the grace, charm, magic and history that is so much a part of a typical European city! Wishful thinking! Give me Europe over the US any day.

cool

i'll probably get blasted for this too, but nowhere in the U.S. is like Europe and thank god for that!

nina

No, nowhere in the US is just like Europe, but that wasn't the question. The poster obviously isn't going to Europe and wants to know where they can get the most European looking feel.

curious, I would second many of the other responses. Beacon Hill in boston does look very British with it's row homes and charming cobblestone streets. I love Charleston, again, the nice architecture of the townhouses, but I think it has it's own unique architecture which is very beautiful, but less European. The Marina district of San Franciso is also very nice. Of course Old Quebec in Canada looks the most European of all, but it's not in the US, just on this continent.

Any of these cities are great places to visit and very beautiful. I think you'll get the feel you're looking for.

Any of these

cool

Personally I think many of the places mentioned are the best of the U.S. and if you look closely you will see they don't resemble Europe at all. They may draw on certain architectural aspects of Europe, but the results is distinctly American. And it is great. We don't need to relegate our best or most beautiful cities to being "European." Go to Europe if you want Europe. Old world American does not mean Europe. I've lived a total of about 6 years in Europe between England and Germany and have done a lot of travelling in Europe, but I've lived mainly in the U.S. (east coast). So that's my 2 cents!

Not one vote for Milwaukee, WI??
I live here and love the European feel to the area! We have a huge German population! Come and take a brewery tour. Eat at one of our wonderful, authentic German restaurants. Come to our very European Downtown area, Old World Third Street. Wonderful! Visit Usingers sausage! Our museum is top notch. Beautiful art center. What about Summerfest, Germanfest, Polish Fest...All along the beautiful shores of Lake Michigan.
Sorry, I just love my city!

SA

New Orleans w/out a doubt, if you expand to NA - Montreal.

Candee

San Francisco for sure.

Rip

VEGAS! Venice, Paris, Rome, Monte Carlo, Lake Como, and a Medieval Castle are all represented.

jette

Holly, I'm a Milwaukee resident also and while I second your assessment that we have a lot to offer, it in NO way resembles any european city I've been in. The good news is our summerfest grounds on the lake are second to none anywhere on earth.

Craig

New Orleans, maybe. Back Bay and Beacon Hill in Boston, too. But San Francisco???--no way!!--looks more like New York City than any city in Europe. Top vote goes to Quebec City (not in US, of course).

Jackie

I agree with Avalon on Catalina Island. It could be any resort town on the Mediterranean, especially in Greece or Spain.

Germantown in Columbus, Ohio is wonderful. Squat brick houses line cobblestone streets. There are lots of cafes and restaurants. There is a square named after the German write Friedrich Schiller. It doesn't really look like Europe, but it's charming.

Obvious

Rome, New York & Naples, Florida. Easy.

german

oops meant to say the German Village in Columbus, Ohio.

European

San Francisco hardly conjures up any similarity to a European city. European cities are much cleaner and mre refined than SF.

The cities that do remind me of Europe are Washington, DC, New Orleans, Philadelphia (specifically the Benjamin Franklin Parkway which is modeled after the Champs D'Elysees in Paris). The Parkway, surrounded by the areas museums and sculptures, is very European. I would also add to that the Old City area of Philladelphia. I would also add to the list Boston and the German Village section of Columbus, Ohio

zootsi

If your willing to go to Canada, Quebec City is by far the most European city in North America, with Montreal a close second.

vballgal

I have to agree. Parts of Milwaukee remind me of an old German village. Even some of the older buildings downtown mixed with the more modern buildings makes me think of Happenheim.
Especially the churches.
