Traveling is one of the world’s favorite past-times. In 2018, there were 1.4 billion international tourist arrivals. With so many beautiful places to travel to, it’s challenging to decide where to go next. An exciting way to choose is to pick a continent and then narrow it down from there. Below are a few top places in Europe to help you decide.

Which European Cities Should You Visit In Your Lifetime?

1. Barcelona, Spain

Barcelona is on the coast of northeastern Spain. It’s known for delicious foods— including paella and delicious appetizer-like tapas— nightlife, art, and architecture. Take a walk on La Rambla, a pedestrian street that connects Placa de Catalunya to the Christopher Columbus Monument. On the way, you’ll pass street performers, living statues, and delicious restaurants. You’ll also want to see the famous Antoni Gaudí’s incomparable architectural achievements, including Casa Batlló.

2. Rome, Italy

This city is like a museum, with many ancient and beautiful sights. The Colosseum, St. Peter’s Square, the Pantheon, and the Trevi Fountain are a few of the famous places that feature in films and history classes. It’s not only your mind that will be stimulated by a trip to Rome, but also your tastebuds. Enjoy carbonara, bucatini, and Roman-style pizza; wash it down with local wine or coffee. Traveling and experiencing different cultures is beneficial for both the mind and body.

3. Prague, Czech Republic

You may have heard others talking about this city’s beauty. Many people say it resembles a fairytale, and they aren’t wrong. Travel to this iconic city, and you’ll find delicious beer and food, and endless cobbled streets to explore. Prague’s Old Town Square looks like it hasn’t changed since the 10th Century—it’s the perfect place for architecture and history buffs. Throughout the city, street performers and musicians entertain pedestrians. You can also walk across the Charles Bridge, and take in the breathtaking city.
