Edinburgh, where I have lived/worked for 40 years and has a population of just over 500K has all of those and more: major arts festivals, good train and growing tram networks, good airport links, very walkable and certainly "feels" more like a city than a lot of much larger cities.
“This is a city of shifting light, of changing skies, of sudden vistas. A city so beautiful it breaks the heart again and again.”
- leoedin 2y agothe "City of Edinburgh" may be 500k people, but the metropolitan area is bigger - once you include the outlying towns which people commute from there's more like 800-900k people. https://www.citypopulation.de/en/uk/agglo/S20000463A__edinburgh/ https://www.citypopulation.de/en/uk/agglo/S20000463A__edinbu... The festivals also completely skew things. Edinburgh in February is a vastly different city than Edinburgh in August.
- arethuza 2y agoThat's right - in February it's full of students ;-)
