5. Rochester, Minnesota

Rochester is widely known for its renowned Mayo Clinic, where famous figures, including President George W. Bush and Ernest Hemingway, along with everyday Americans, come to see the best caregivers and doctors in the world. However, Rochester is so much more than the Mayo Clinic.

Located in idyllic southeastern Minnesota and surrounded by rich pasturelands, rolling green hills, and gently flowing rivers, this city is full of history, arts, and nature. With over 85 miles of bike trails and over 100 city parks, Rochester is aiming to create a place where people can truly feel at home. No wonder why its residents have a life expectancy of 82 years.
