Paris No matter how many other cities we see, we still come back to the City of Lights and gaze upon it with wonder and awe. Walking through the city streets at night is one of our favourite things to do.
Venice Venice is one of the most important tourist destinations in the world for its celebrated art and architecture. The city has an average of 50,000 tourists a day.
Prague is the capital and largest city of the Czech Republic. The city boasts more than ten major museums, along with numerous theatres, galleries, cinemas, and other historical exhibits.
Budapest is probably the most beautiful city by the water. Walking over the chain bridge to witness the beauty of Buda and Pest looking back at one another across the Danube is pure perfection. When the lights come on in Budapest, make your way down to the river and take in the splendour of the two cities. Budapest
Florence is famous for its history: a centre of medievalEuropean trade and finance and one of the wealthiest cities of the time
San Marino San Marino is a city and an independent republic in the middle of Italy. It overlooks the Italian Apennines, rivalling the beauty of Tuscany. San Marino is the oldest surviving sovereign State in the world and it’s known as the Serene Republic. Serene it is indeed.
Bern. Switzerland is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the political centre of Switzerland. It doesn’t feel like a political hub though, this city was made for walking. The walkways of Bern are all covered making for pleasant shopping in any type of weather. Seeing Bern from the river reinforces our decision of why we included it in our list of the most beautiful cities we’ve ever visited.
BarcelonaThe more we visit Barcelona, the more we love it. At first we weren’t fans of the works of Gaudi, but as we got to know him a bit more, we fell in love with his innovative, colourful and playful architecture. With a beautiful waterfront, quiet parks, downtown walking streets and bustling markets, Barcelona is definitely up there as one of the most beautiful and vibrant cities we’ve visited in Europe.
BolognaIt’s just as beautiful as Florence or Rome but it’s quieter. It has a more local vibe and as you can see it’s absolutely stunning. Bologna even has the highest leaning tower in all of Italy. Move over Pisa, this leaning tower is the real deal. (note, we took this photo from the top of Bologna’s leaning tower.)
Istanbul is a city with two personalities. One foot in the West with a European flare and the other foot in the East. It is the Eastern influence that makes this city so beautiful. Mosques dot the cityscape as spires peek out from above the skyline. It’s an enormous city yet it is easy to walk and navigate
Brussels was one of the first European cities we’ve ever visited and I will never forget the feeling we had when we finally found the square. We rounded a corner and the sight took our breath away. We visited it again a couple of years ago and the feeling did not fade. We still think that the square of Brussels is one of the most beautiful squares in all of Europe. It’s an absolutely beautiful city filled with history and charm.
London is the capital and most populous city of England and the United Kingdom. London contains four World Heritage Sites: the Tower of London; Kew Gardens; the site comprising the Palace of Westminster, Westminster Abbey, and St Margaret's Church; and the historic settlement of Greenwich
Rome is the capital of Italy and of the Lazioregion. Rome has the status of a global city. Today, the city is a major artistic centre, with numerous art institutes and museums. The Colosseum is regarded as a wonder of the world.[
