Hello from Naples, Florida. They are all very nice places, but Burano caught our eye, with the colors and canals. Thank you for sharing with us, have a great week. 💯

Hallstat, Cochem, Sintra, Positano, Corfu, Howth (Ireland), Hebden bridge (Uk), Ksamil in Albania and Utrecht in Netherlands have been some of my favourites so far

I’ve been to Bruges, Cesky Krumlov and Zermatt out of this list. I’m looking forward to checking off more soon. Out of this list, Salzburg is probably next on my radar.

You missed Reykjavik, a great city that is very walkable and friendly. If you go to Cesky Krumlov, do yourself a favor and stay the night in the old town. It is a magical place after dark.

excuse me, do you not use fact checkers? the opening for the clip of Freiburg is literally a different city (Dortmund)... 5 HOURS AWAY...the people and stadium featured are literally for Dortmund FC again in A CITY 5 HOURS AWAY...where is the credibility?

Mostar, and Haapsalu and Poznan are nice. But I think Kotor is my favorite small city in Europe.

Great pics.

Annecy is the most beautiful city imo.

Baden Baden, Germany is a great little city too.

Colmar, France as well. Looks like the movie Beauty and the Beast

Bruges, Dubrovnik, Venice and Florence are my favourite small European cities that I've visited thus far, though I can't wait to explore more! ✈️💕

I would add Passau, Germany to the list. A small city at the confluence of the Danube and Inn rivers. It was a very nice surprise to us.

I dream of traveling to a country but the problem is that I have a memory problem I forget that I am accused of this disease to forget or that I am alone I get lost I have to ask for help to people to find my hotel or something like that. 😭😭😭😭
