There were so many destinations too add to this video, we could probably do 2 or 3. What destinations would you add?

If you want to experience Europe in the states, go to Boston. Downtown / old town Boston is Europe for real. Great video though, and thanks for all the travel tips!

(NW) European here. Let me give you some feedback on this.

1st) Sausalito, California

• I've come across the fact that the US are an extremely car-centric country so the bicycle sign in the middle of the lane caught my attention. I wonder whether this is a bicycle street like we know them in Europe. If so, the line on the left being pulled through would force cars to stay behind bikes no matter how slow the bikes are, as the cars would need to keep a distance of at least 1.5m from the bikes when overtaking them and as the bikes would be allowed to ride next to each other, even if that occupies the entire lane. If the recording is not speeded up, the speed seems to be a bit high for it to be such a bicycle street, as the speed limit would have to be maximally 30 kph (no clue what's that in mph).

• The restaurant names Poggio, Scoma's etc. are rather US American and so are the logos.

• I bet you won't find any floating houses in a European boats port. There are houseboats at the side of channels in some cities in the Netherlands, especially in Amsterdam, and some of them look more like containers than like boats. There is Venice in Italy, a floating city, however, its majestic floating houses are incomparable. The floating houses in Sausalito look very non-European to me.

2nd) Frankenmuth, Michigan

• What a huge carpark. You may find it in some places in Germany but it's not as customary as in the US. The sprawl of parking areas looks quite US American to me.

• The houses look a bit European indeed but more like a remake. There's a certain note of kitsh to them.

• There are very very few all-year Christmas shops across Germany and all of Europe. That shop looks a bit like something you may find on some Christmas fairs in December, however, the entire concept of it looks insanely US American to me.

• People dancing around something that looks a bit like a May tree in October while holding some stuff in their hands? Looks strange to me as a German.

• The game with the dogs looks like a lot of fun but got nothing to do with Europe. I could imagine something like that to happen somewhere in New Zealand.

• There may be some German speakers but their dialect is probably very old-fashioned and mixed with American English. I have listening to German speakers from the US before. The people in that town make a very US American impression.

• That chicken looks a bit like US American chicken wings. It's everything but German or even European in any way. And the way it is advertised is once again very US American. How can this be considered non-American?

3rd) Solvang, California

• Yes, it has a touch of that NW European architecture in Denmark, NW Germany and maybe parts of the Netherlands for sure. Doesn't look just like it but reminds of it a little.

• The climate and density couldn't be any less Danish.

• These wooden clocks look more like they are a remake of something you could find in SW Germany. The north and the south of Germany are very different. If it was not for standard German having mostly replaced Low German, NW Germany would be culturally much much closer to the Netherlands than to SW Germany. This place may resemble some European traditions but puts them all together in quite a US American way.

4th) Holland, Michigan

• Embedded in very car-centric infrastructure, it doesn't look Dutch at all to me, however, that's just me, someone thinking of the Netherlands as what they are today, not of what they were 60 years ago.

• Although tulips usually don't grow in such amounts in the middle of a Dutch town, some of the architecture looks quite Dutch indeed and not even that much like a remake.

5th) St. Petersburg, Florida

• This place is zero European. It's some building that may not be typical for US American beaches, however, it's also not European. And all the surroundings are very US American. I don't get at all why this one made it on the list. Even the seaside does not remind me of Europe in any way.

6th) Bretton Woods, New Hampshire

• Beautiful landscapes! But Switzerland looks different. It's not as wide as Bretton Woods and doesn't have such flat terrain in front of the mountains. If this area should be considered European at all, I would think of it as somewhat Scandinavian, maybe Swedish or a bit Norwegian. But it's not actually European.

7th) Leavenworth, Washington

• So many Bavarian architectural elements that it looks way too messy to look like Bavaria.

• If you can show me reindeers in Bavaria, I'll invite you to have some Weißwurst with me - the real (white-coloured) Bavarian sausage.

• The most US American beer drinkers ever.

8th) Carmel-By-The-Sea, California

• Looks a bit like some fairytale village. Like European fiction put into scene by Hollywood.

9th) Alys Beach, Florida

• The only country in Europe that looks anything alike is Greece, however, there, the white is combined with fair blue on the roofs. The use of antique architectural elements is remarkable. But like this, it's not like anywhere in Europe at all.

10th) New Orleans, Louisiana

• The Arabic writing on the French market is ironally quite accurate. There are way too many Arabs in France nowadays. But I guess France had it coming due to the widely-spread arrogant nationalism of the country. Of course, there still are some beautiful places in France and the country still has some cultural assets, even if its infrastructure is way worse than it could be and it's all such a mess. Single aspects are more or less resembled by New Orleans but it's very limited.

• The miniature Arc de Triomphe in front of the markethall looks hilariously out of place. Really funny.

• Over-all, New Orleans is US American through and through, just like your pronunciation of every single name or word in this video.

What a great assortment of cities! Thank you.

[marcelmoulin]

Thank you for the video. I have visited several of these charming spots. The ubiquitous huge cars and wide streets, however, disappointed me. If the main streets in these towns became pedestrian zones, the "charm" would grow exponentially.

[ColoradoMartini]

To me Santa Fe is the top one that makes you feel like you're in a different country

[funworldtimes]

New Orleans is a one of a kind place! I hope I can visit this year!

[josmarc]

For me the most European places are the New England states, practically all of New England has a European tinge as such.
There are other states that do not have European overtones throughout the state, just in some specific places.

[robloxjourney]

There are too many to add to this list 😮

[NBAFusion]

This time of the year brings the best out of the USA cities

[immersivewerks]

How tf is Salem not on that list? I am german, and ive randomly seen a walking tour video of Salem, and my initial tbought was: this is either the netherlands, england, or germany
Its a weird mix of english/dutch style city row-buildings, swedish wooden houses, and german/central european classical architecture
The streets are pretty narrow for US standarts and it looks very padestrian friendly

When i looked it up on streetview, i even found a neighborhood that looked EXACTLY like my german neighborhood, apart from wider streets.

The only thing missing, for it to be a proper european city, is some dirt and unkept greenery haha

[omarguerra]

They are beautiful places. But what I don’t like about these, is the “fake” aspect for tourism. They don’t feel like a lived in place where I can move. They feel more like a Disney park you know?

Look at Boston for example this one is obviously a real city lol but pricey

[henryarroyo]

leavenworth is def #1 get some burgers pretzels and stouts

[BxLiteKid]

Everything about this video was great, but you mispronounced sooo many words

[jamesacoffey]

This list wa underwhelming and disappointing.
