THE 10 MOST BEAUTIFUL CITIES IN EUROPE

Those of us who live in the Old Continent, and especially those who love travel, sometimes forget about the luck we have. And it is that only a couple of hours away and for a handful of euros we can travel hundreds of wonderful destinations. The problem will come when choosing what our next getaway will be. If you are wondering which are the most beautiful cities in Europe, here we leave you our list, with those that are, for us, the 10 most beautiful:

There is no place in the world to experience the true meaning of Dolce Vita like Rome And better if you do it accompanied by a good Italian ice cream. The Italian capital will make you travel in time: the Colosseum, the Roman Forums or the Pantheon are glimpses of an incredible civilization that dominated the world. And then there is the Trevi Fountain, the Basilica of San Pedro, the Trastevere, the infinite staircase of Plaza de España and a thousand more corners, each more suggestive than the previous one. Rome is one of the most beautiful cities in Europe and the world! So do not forget to include it in your wishlist traveler.

Together a city built on the water, some buildings so beautiful that they could be a painting from '700, a baroque basilica that seems inflated like glass and a few gondolieri that navigate hundreds of canals. What we have? Neither more nor less than one of the most unique and special cities in the world: Venice. We love it, we have gone countless times, but on each visit we discover something that makes us love her even more. If you have the opportunity to sleep there one night (at least) do it: when tourists leave, Venice shows its hidden face. The best.

Oh la la, Paris, the city of amour, of the lights and the crepes. But beware, if you don't have a partner, don't panic: the French capital gives off more love-marketing than it really is. And if you travel with friends or even alone you will have a good time, because in Paris it is almost impossible to get bored. And how to do it by listening to street concerts in the Sacred Heart, with the city under your feet? Or improvising a good, beautiful and cheap picnic on the lawn in front of the Eiffel Tower? Or going out through the Latin Quarter? Paris has a huge range of options for all tastes, you just have to choose the ones that best suit you. And voila, le jeux sont fait.

Amsterdam is, for us, one of the most beautiful cities in Europe… undoubtedly! It will be its canals and its inclined houses, with all the shades of brown, black and white, it will be its liberal and alternative air, or simply the simple and natural beauty of a city that has managed to develop a own personality. Whatever Amsterdam seems to be a real gem, so we cannot leave it out of this list. In what other city can you see works by Van Gogh, pedal for kilometers on the banks of canals, mix between tulips of all possible and imaginable colors and finish mushrooms that will make you see all possible and imaginable colors? If there is another one like her, tell us!

Elegant and refined, but also with a pin point of the ones we like (cover the ruin pubs), Budapest is a double city, in every way (and, literally, it is formed by two parts, Buddha and Pest). One of the best experiences to live here is to take a warm thermal bath, while it is cold to peel. That after having walked (or navigated) on the Danube and having tasted its cuisine, powerful and homemade, which will conquer the palate of the most greedy.

Do you know those crystal balls that contain miniature monuments or cities and that when you move them, it seems that a light snow covers them? Prague is exactly that: such a perfect city that seems to be inside one of those little balls, almost unreal. And that we didn't see with XD snow. The capital of the Czech Republic is one of the best destinations in Europe: cheap, with a few unique attractions (such as the castle, the Jewish quarter or its famous astronomical clock) and as we anticipate, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful!

Stroll among the colorful houses of Notting Hill, get lost in the food markets, see the changing of the guard or spend the hours in one of the best museums in the world without paying a single penny Do not tell us that London does not cool ! The capital of England is one of the most active, eclectic and interesting centers across Europe. Perhaps at first glance you do not conquer yourself for its beauty, but if you know how to order all the pieces of its immense puzzle you will see that it has a charm and a poise difficult to find. What a desire to return!

It is no secret that we are in love with the Catalan capital. We live here about 5 years, we turn its streets into “our” streets and He made us feel at home with his cosmopolitan air. But we are not an exception: Barcelona conquers everyone who visits it, has thousands of things to do and has a sea! Something that very few cities of the same size and character can boast. Is it also one of the most beautiful cities in Europe for you?

Yes, sorry, another Italian destination, we can't help it. Florence is a tiny city but with so much charm It would be unfair to leave her out. Here the Renaissance was born and great geniuses like Leonardo da Vinci kicked its streets. And it does not surprise us, because in Florence you will feel like in a Outdoor museum. You can climb to the dome of Brunelleschi (undoubtedly the most incredible in the world), eat at the Mercato Centrale, marvel at the works of art of the Uffizi and Gallerias del Academia and end the day by drinking a Moretti beer in Piazzale Michelangelo, while the sun says goodbye to the Tuscan city.

Tip: if you have at least 4 more days, take a roadtrip through Tuscany, one of the most spectacular and genuine Italian regions.

That light, those viewpoints, those neighborhoods full of personality and those clothes hanging, Lisbon is one of the most beautiful cities in Europe, and although it does not enjoy as much tourist advertising as London or Paris, nothing has to envy. What's more, enjoy better weather, better food and better character. It only has one drawback: it enchants you and when you leave you will experience the curse of Lisbon, feel saudade Wherever you go Still, that sweet curse is very worthwhile.

These are for us the most beautiful cities in Europe. We leave out of the list spectacular sites like Athens, Kotor, Dubrovnik, Copenhagen, Edinburgh, St. Petersburg or Berlin ... but we have tried to be as objective as possible (as long as a list about the beauty of a destination can be, of course!).
