In addition, Hawaii and Alaska are grouped separately.

• San Diego: With lots of sun, beaches and perfect weather, San Diego is a magnet for attractive people who love the outdoors. The city also has a population that spends over $3,000,000 a year on coloring their hair in addition to lots of tourism and a nightclub scene that rivals Spring Break party towns like Las Vegas and Cancun. Celebrity natives include: Adam Brody, Reggie Bush, Kelly Hu, Jason Mraz, Stephanie Seymour, Kendra Wilkinson. 

• New York City: Aside from being the capital of the country's top modeling agencies, fashion magazines and beauty and fashion houses, New York City is also the birthplace or home of some of the most beautiful faces in existence. From models like Devon Aoki to actors like Scarlett Johansson, Lucy Liu and Natalie Portman. In addition, it's a travel hotspot for good-looking people from all over the world, adding international character and diversity to its list of most attractive qualities. 

• Charleston: A lovely historic costal town, Charleston has sundry Civil War memorials and quaint colonial buildings dating all the way back to the 1600's. Its old-world aesthetic and “Gullah” traditions make visitors feel as if they have stepped out of a time machine. Charleston also has beautiful beaches, famous golf resorts, and plenty of art galleries – for those looking for modern, rather than historical, amusements.

• San Francisco: San Francisco is considered to be one of the most beautiful cities in the U.S. The “City by the Bay” is scenic and welcoming, with major landmarks, cultural attractions and streets lined with ornate Victorian homes. And there's more: sundry parks, stretches of sand, and picture-postcard views, with the Golden Gate Bridge serving as a constant romantic backdrop.

• Virginia Beach: With miles and miles of extraordinary coastline, Virginia Beach beckons to avid surfers looking to tackle its impressive Atlantic waves. Its boardwalks offer mouth-watering restaurants and peacefully romantic scenery – a great evening follow-up to an idyllic beach day. The Busch Gardens amusement park is a great draw for vacationing families. Another fun fact: Virginia Beach is located right near Jamestown, America’s oldest existing settlement.

• Philadelphia: Despite being the fifth most populous city in the country, Philadelphia is an overlooked urban treasure, tucked between the Big Apple and the nation's capital. Rejuvenated over the last few years, "the city of brotherly love" is steadily emerging as a travel destination. It's got great restaurants and museums, and a major dose of history as the first capital of the U.S. And, of course, don't forget to try the cheesesteak!

• Lincoln: The state of Nebraska tends to evoke images of rolling hills and rugged landscapes. But the city of Lincoln is a modern diamond in the rough. It boasts high-end shopping, museums, and bustling nightclubs. It's also home to an interesting education exhibit that details Nebraska's evolution over the past 100 years.

• Honolulu: Not only is it one of the most beautiful places in the world, Hawaii and its capital are home to some of the country's most beautiful people, too. Perhaps it's because of the average 77-degree weather year-round, clean air or the age-old secrets to luminous skin and hair? Look no further than its celeb roster for proof: Barack Obama, Nicole Kidman, Kelly Preston, Tia Carrere, Nicole Scherzinger and Shannyn Sossamon.
