Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington, D.C., New York, Chicago, Tampa Bay. Tampa may not be considered major, though.
NYC, Boston, DC, Austin, Dallas, San Diego, L.A., New Orleans
Boston, New York, D.C., Orlando, Philadelphia, Honolulu (does that count?).
And if we’re counting “been in the airport” as visiting then also Chicago and Dallas
NYC, Boston, Philadelphia, DC, Miami, Tampa, Orlando (idk if those two really count), San Diego, and LA
New York City, Orlando, Miami, Tampa
Tampa, Miami, Washington DC, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Seattle, Portland, St Louis, Dallas, Milwaukee, Los Angeles, Honolulu, Memphis, Nashville, Denver
Only Phoenix and Boston. I’ve been to the Detroit airport but I don’t think that counts lol I’ll probably end up in Dallas at some point to visit my brother’s family and have our kids finally meet.
What are we considering as “major American cities”?
Based on what everyone else is saying, I’ve been to Chicago, Washington DC, Memphis, Nashville, and Portland.
* DC x2
* Chicago…uh…6x?
* Nashville
* Louisville
* Boston several times, though my family is all in the burbs so a lot of time is really spent in Stonhem or Plymouth
* LA
* San Francisco
* St Louis
* I guess Orlando but is that even really a city?
* Atlanta, NYC and Philly if airport-only visits count
The major ones? All of them.
Seattle, Los Angeles, San Diego, Anchorage, Las Vegas, San Antonio, Dallas, Cincinnati, Washington DC, Baltimore, pretty much every one in the southeast except for Miami.
What are we calling major?
New York, Boston, DC, Philly, Chicago, Denver, LA, San Diego, Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, San Jose, Dallas, Houston, Miami, Orlando, Atlanta, Phoenix.
The only city in the population top 10 I haven’t been to is San Antonio.
Not sure where you draw the line at “major”. I pulled the top 200 cities by population from the Wiki page and here are the ones I’ve visited or lived in. I didn’t include ones that I’d just driven through but never actually spent more than a day.

Let’s see, with the completely arbitrary cutoff of 25 largest metropolitan areas as my definition, I’ve been to the following: New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Dallas, Washington, Atlanta, Miami, Phoenix, Boston, Riverside (should be considered part of the LA metro, imo), San Francisco, Detroit, Seattle, Minneapolis, San Diego, Tampa, Denver, Orlando, and Portland.
I stopped counting a long time ago.
Already visited: NYC, Boston, Dallas, Houston, Austin, Las Vegas, Orlando, Ft. Lauderdale, Birmingham, Washington DC, Baltimore, Indianapolis, San Antonio,

Tons of smaller ones too, like Memphis, Louisville, Nashville, Knoxville, etc. I guess it depends on what you consider “major.“

——
Also- no Honolulu and no Anchorage
——
Ok, not all of them.. of the top50 by population:
https://worldpopulationreview.com/us-cities
I haven’t been to El Paso, Mesa, Minneapolis, nor Wichita
New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego, Chicago, Washington D.C., Philadelphia, Boston, Minneapolis, Baltimore, Charlotte, Atlanta, Tampa, Miami, Orlando, Birmingham, New Orleans, Denver, Austin, San Antonio, Albuquerque, Phoenix, Portland, Seattle, Honolulu…a few smaller ones too.
I”ve been lucky to have gone to 34 states so far, some of which don’t have any major cities, or I just didn’t get to the big cities in those states. Some of the bigger cities I have left that I want to see include:
Nashville, Memphis, St. Louis, Kansas City, Louisville, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Indianapolis, Charleston, Madison, Milwaukee, Anchorage, Salt Lake City, Missoula to name a few. I love travel and seeing the different states and cities within.
Alright, I’ll say any city with a team in the Big 4 leagues counts. I’ve hit Boston, NYC, Philly, Baltimore and DC. Orlando if Disney qualifies, and I’ve done layovers in Chicago, Detroit, Charlotte, Pittsburgh, and Atlanta if airports count.
Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Chicago, Detroit, Dallas, Richmond, Madison, KC, Des Moines, Wichita, Albuquerque, Las Vegas (current city).
These cities are based on the largest cities by population, like another posted did.
Los Angeles (home), Phoenix, San Diego, San Francisco, Seattle, Denver, Las Vegas, Albuquerque, Fresno, Tucson, Sacramento, Long Beach, Oakland, Anaheim (and some of the other Orange County cities).
I stopped at top 100.
I need to visit past Denver, clearly. Chicago is next on my list.
New York, LA, Chicago, Phoenix, Philadelphia, San Antonio, Dallas, Indianapolis, Charlotte, Seattle, Denver, DC, Boston, Las Vegas, Portland, Baltimore, Albuquerque, Kansas City, Atlanta, Colorado Springs, Raleigh, Virginia Beach, New Orleans, Cleveland, Orlando, Greensboro, St. Louis, Boise, Spokane
I used this list from Wikipedia to help me remember https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_cities_by_population
I left off cities I’ve been to if they’re right next to another larger city that I had also been to. And I stopped at 100 because are they a major city at that point?
A lot. DC, Philly, NYC, Austin, New Orleans, Miami, LA, SF, Portland, Nashville, Memphis, Dallas, Atlanta, Charlotte, Chicago, Las Vegas and a bunch that I’m not sure are “major,” like Charleston, Nashville, Tampa, Orlando, Baltimore, Minneapolis, etc.
Really the glaring holes for me in the US are Boston (waiting until it warms up to visit lol) and some of the other big Texas cities especially Houston and San Antonio.
