For me it was Brasov in Romania. It was more beautiful than I had expected and really liked the vibes of this medieval city.

Merida in Mexico. It's not a tourist city, but I was there during a weekend and there were all sort of family events organized at the market, it was really fun and inclusive. We sat down to watch a kids play and got brought into the play as "ghosts" (we're white) so the kids would run up to us and pretend to be scared (we'd play it up), and at the end everyone gathered around us and thanked us for being sports. The rest of the day was just an immersion in actual Mexican culture and friendliness.

Not what I expected just dropping into the city on the way to see ruins, we stayed an extra couple days just to enjoy it. Maybe it's gotten more urban and stand-offish, this would have been a decade ago.
