全球15座最“文艺”的城市

赞美一座城市的文化时，我们所知和所爱的是它的风土人情、艺术底蕴、建筑和社会成就，以及独特的风味。

当《漫旅》杂志的读者们希望接受文化艺术熏陶时，下面这些城市是最热门的目的地。这些城市或者有可以追溯到人类第一个永恒文明的历史古迹，或者有令人惊艳的，如同玻璃与钢铁化成的光柱一般，直指苍穹的现代化建筑。

以佛罗伦萨的圣母百花大教堂为例。这座恢弘的大教堂的历史，最早可追溯到1296年，可以说是这座城市的标志：圣母百花大教堂堪称佛罗伦萨文艺复兴时期宗教与艺术的集大成者。如果没有它，佛罗伦萨还能否有如此令人难以抗拒，令游客们久久难以忘怀的魅力？

那么，今年的文化艺术城市排名榜首又将花落谁家？那就是光明之城巴黎。即便它最轻微的低语，也能如魔法般变幻出莫奈花园的永恒形象，蒙娜丽莎那令人不安的神秘微笑，以及凡尔赛宫璀璨夺目的玻璃大厅。

在旅途当中，我们都会探寻所到之处的文化：它是一座城市最为明显的特征或者品质，处处提醒着我们，这是一座令人难忘且独一无二的城市。

A city’s customs, repertoire of arts, architectural and social achievements, and distinct flavors are, collectively, what we come to know and to cherish when we celebrate its culture.

Be it a city of ancient ruins dating back to humankind’s first permanent civilizations, or striking modern constructions that surge toward the sky like glass-and-steel beams of light, these are the cities Travel + Leisure readers flock to when they seek an injection of arts and culture.

Take Il Duomo in Florence, for example. This staggering cathedral, with its first stones dating back to 1296, could very well be considered the city’s trademark.: the single structure that stands as a summation of Florence’s religious and artistic Renaissance. Without it, would the city still linger in travelers’ minds with the same unrelenting grasp?

And what of our No. 1 city for culture and the arts this year? Even the faintest whisper about the City of Light conjures immutable images of Monet’s gardens, the Mona Lisa’s unnerving half-smile, the palace of Versailles’ glittering hall of mirrors.

We seek culture everywhere we travel: it is the unmistakable character or quality of a city that reminds us at every turn that we are somewhere unforgettable and unique.

法国巴黎

得分：97.668

一位《漫旅》杂志的读者这样形容光明之城巴黎：“文化超负载！”漫步在迷人的巴黎市区，无数令人惊艳的博物馆、地标和足以成为文化景点的商店令你应接不暇。首先是卢浮宫最著名的藏品——《蒙娜丽莎》和《断臂的维纳斯》，如果你能赶上日落，还可以看到博物馆广场上的玻璃金字塔在夕阳下绽放光芒。你肯定还想看看凯旋门、巴黎圣母院和香榭丽舍大道。在上午攀登埃菲尔铁塔，将整座城市的风光尽收眼底，晚上在它的灯光下享用晚餐。当然，巴黎的文化很大一部分源于这座城市设计时尚的精品店（前往巴黎夏赫洛街和维埃耶寺庙大道寻找最新款的高级女士时装）。这里有无数的法式蛋糕店，可以品尝切成薄片的牛角面包和轻如空气的马卡龙，或者在塞纳河左岸的户外品尝一瓶波尔多葡萄酒。

Paris, France

“Cultural overload!” Exclaimed one T+L reader when describing the City of Light. Strolling through Paris’ charmingarronidssements will lead you past a staggering number of museums, landmarks, and shops that alone could qualify as cultural sights. Begin with the Musée du Louvre’s most famous residents, the Mona Lisa and Venus de Milo, and catch the glittering glass pyramid in the museum’s plaza at sunset, if you can. You’ll want to see the Arc de Triomphe, Notre Dame, and the Champs-Elysées. Scale the Eiffel Tower in the morning for sweeping city vistas, and dine in its glow at night. Of course, much of Parisian culture is rooted in the city’s chic, designer boutiques (head to the Rue Charlot and Rue Vieille du Temple for the latest in haute couture. Sample flaky croissants and light-as-air macarons from any of the countless patisseries, or sip a bottle ofBordeaux while picnicking along the Left Bank of the River Seine.
