Europe’s Best Cities
If a trip to Europe is on this summer’s calendar, there are certain cities that you just can not miss. These cities are the homes of many famous and important sites and offer much insight into the many cultures of Europe.
London is, arguably, the most diverse city on the planet. More languages are spoken by its inhabitants than in any other city in the world and it is a real melting pot of cultures. There are a huge range of things to keep you entertained in London – theaters, museums, art galleries and famous buildings. You think that you can every major city has those, but what is on offer in London is a cut above what you will find elsewhere. It is a paradise for shoppers, music lovers and sports too. Whether it is designer clothes, live music or star filled sports teams you want, you will not be disappointed.
Barcelona is not to be missed. It can be found on the Mediterranean coast and is the capital of the Catalan region of Spain. Its culture and history are reflected in its interesting historic and architectural sites, from Roman ruins to the beautiful church of Sagrada Familia. Do not miss the museums and galleries. Of course there are the beautiful beaches for sunbathing and swimming. Sports fans will surely want to take in a football game at Camp Nou, unquestionably the home of the best football team on earth.
You must see Venice! This city is actually a group of islands in a lagoon in the Adriatic Sea that are linked together by a system of canals. At one time, Venice was one of the most powerful of European cities. It was a merchant shipping center as well as a bastion of naval power. Venice is the home of incredible architecture. It was also the birthplace of much important Renaissance art and you can still see these important pieces in Venice. Venice can be navigated by foot but, better yet, find some time to travel the “streets” of Venice by Gondala. You will not regret it.
Paris is known for being the romance capital of the world but it offers much more besides romance. There are several internationally renowned buildings and monuments to found there, including Notre Dame, the Arc de Triomphe and, of course, the Eiffel Tower. There is a general ambience around the whole place that can not be matched elsewhere, and the river Seine, which runs through the city, further adds to its character. Everywhere you turn you will find picturesque buildings, parks and quaint streets. Culture lovers will know all about th The Louvre, and there are many other galleries and museums too. The food is wonderful, and with a vast array of restaurants you will have no problems sampling it for yourself.
