This is hardly a new idea, or one I haven't thought about before, but having
read _The Clouds of Saturn_ has got me thinking about floating cities in the
atmosphere of Venus (which seems a much more likely place for them in a
relatively near-future setting than Saturn).

And if you want to go into the *far* future, Uranus and Neptune have a
surface gravity of nearly 1 g, so they would be likelier than Saturn as
well, despite the view.
