As a kid, I used to imagine myself moving to North America or Australia or even Brazil. But now that I'm an adult, I am so grateful to be a European and to live here ! And not just for the beauty and diversity of our continent, also for our levels of education, open values, solidarity, food and cultures. I've been to every European country and each one has something special to offer.

"there are more people than cars" well to me its mind blowing how that is even mention worthy

[rykmat]

Bro, a lot of European cathedrals were built for centuries. I'm Czech. I travelled a lot around the whole of Europe and I just must tell you that visit to all the European heritage sites is simply impossible because our lives are too short.

The different historic building styles evolved due to the weather. In northern Europe you need steep, hard rooftops to protect against rain, hail and to let snow slide off of them. In southern Europe you have flat rooftops one can use for different purposes as the weather is mostly sunny. And the buildings are painted white to repel heat.

If you didn't know anything about Dubrovnik, you should check out Croatia in general. It's not just Dubrovnik, it's a small country but there are so many things to see. A lot of national parks too. ✌️

That’s what I love living in Europe, all those cities are easily to visit. Just go there over the weekend, it is so easy. And there are many more to discover.

Note: The towns and most cities in Europe were built way before cars even existed, so they were built for pedestrians, horse-drawn carriages etc. Many, perhaps even most, are hundreds of years old, and a few even some two thousand years old. Quite mind-blowing for people in the U.S., many of whom have lost touch with the history of their ancestors and the countries they came from. With all the possibilities that the internet is offering, now's the time to go exploring and to reconnect with Europe and the rest of the world! 🌎

Only one I don't agree with is Monaco. Expensive, overrated, unfriendly people and in general not much you can do or see. There are much better allternatives close by

[greenfox]

As an Italian I would say Paris is the most iconic city in Europe. It's so iconic that some people in America thinks Paris is a country. It's so visited that France is the most visited country in -Europe- the World, before Italy, just because Paris take around 40 million tourists per year.

The Sagrada Familia was designed by Catalan architect Antoni Gaudi. He also created La Pedrera, Casa Battló and many other outstanding buildings in Barcelona. One city that wasn't mentioned was Paris. I was a bit surprised that he didn't talk about it, being such an iconic city in Europe. If you ever come to Portugal, you should visit Porto, my hometown, which is an incredibly beautiful city.

Most American cities are just high rise file cabinets surrounded by parking lots and a ghetto. You can walk European cities at night in safety. The architecture is so varied and beautiful. Not all beautiful European cities are just tourist attractions. London, Paris, Milan and Amsterdam are cities with thriving economies where people also live and work. I'm from NYC originally (a great city) but most American cities are so similar and soulless compared to European cities.

[maggieellison]

I agree. I’m an average UK citizen. Teacher married to a police man and we’ve visited most European countries -several times, plus the USA (Colorado, Wyoming, Boston and New England, Florida, New York), Cuba, Egypt, South Africa, and China. Lack of holiday entitlement must play a large part in the reason USA citizens don’t travel, but I think a large part is lack of interest in the world outside the USA.

[Pawel_Mrozek]

Sagrada Familia is not one of the most amazing buildings in the world. It is simply the most amazing building in the world. It cannot be compared to anything. I must admit that its interior made such an impression on me that tears flowed down my cheeks.

[mrfrosty]

I've visited most of these cities, I particularly enjoyed Lisbon and Dubrovnik, one nice feature is that many of the stores and restaurants are unique to those cities and have been around for decades, the streets aren't spammed up with large chain stores. Croatia is a beautiful country.

[gia]

As a German I have to say Italy is the most beautiful country in Europe ! Miss he showed Rome, or Budapest....these cities are really so so so

[WNdry]

I am from Prague, but I am very happy that the list didn't show just capital cities but some smaller gems as well.

[Nightraven]

9:15 funny that you mention it, Dubrovnik was under siege during the war in the 1990s and the walls proved extremely effective against modern artillery strikes, there are actually videos of the walls being shelled. So the walls are still useful even with modern war vehicles like helicopters and airplanes.

Ryan, let me give you a hint. Some of the prettiest places in central/southern Europe are not very far apart from each other. In summer I sometimes took the car from Aachen, Germany down to Nice in France (close to Monaco), passing by Metz, Lyon, Strasbourg and/or Avignon, sometimes staying there for a night. All of them are mindblowing places from a historical and from an aesthetic point of view. The way back was maybe even better. We passed by Eze, Menton, Genua, Milan and Lugano in Italy and then spend some days in the Swiss Alps close to St. Moritz. (small tip: stay in a little village in Italy close to the border if you want ro save a little money) there are other routes like that and it's worth exploring. Don't just focus on the big cities though, the little places are usually much prettier.

Vienna and Budapest. Very beautiful and exuding a unique old world charm, still making you feel as if you time-travelled into mid 19th century to the hay-days of the Austro-Hungarian dual-monarchy.
