TravelandLeisure.com really wanted to know, so we asked. Visitors to our site this summer were asked to rate 30 American cities in categories ranging from restaurants, shopping, and cultural attractions to people, airports, and more. Altogether, visitors answered almost 4 million questions about their favorite — and least favorite — destinations. Now the results have been tallied, and we've got them.

For the record: America’s most attractive people are in Miami, Cleveland is the best place for an affordable getaway, Minneapolis/St. Paul ranks No. 1 for intelligent people, and Houston is home to the best airports. But that just scratches the surface. Where do travelers go for a wild weekend? Where do they head when they're in the mood for a getaway in a stylish, boutique hotel?
