So it's "sort of."

Then if it were "…visit our city and feel the atmosphere of it/the city" instead, would it sound much better, MM?

No, you can stick with the original. As a marketing slogan, I get it. What I would ditch is 'visit':

Come and feel our city.

As a market slogan, it may work. I see.

But I'm still wondering if you would say something like, say, "You need to feel America" in daily conversations.

Would such an expression really sound natural?

In context and register, yes.

So it depends on context and resister whether it works or not. In other words, as a stand alone sentence, there might be a better one.

MM, let me ask.

A long time ago, Coca-Cola Japan had this advertising copy.

"I feel Coke!"

And I heard an American say it didn't make sense at all.

Could you explain why not?

It is just much too terse. It stretches the use too far.

I see. Thanks, MM!
