'These European hubs—all of which have a population of 100,000 people or more—with sufficient amounts of culture, gastronomy, architecture, cobblestone streets, and mountain vistas to fill itinerary several times over. Caution: They may even convince you to seriously consider relocating permanently to the other side of the ocean. The vast majority of European cities have done an incredible job of maintaining their historic structures and histories, which is one of the primary factors determining where they fall on our list.

'Although we haven't been across all of 'Europe' yet, we thought it would be fun to compile a list of some of the continent's most stunning cities based on what we've seen so far. So, without further ado, look at our pictures and reminiscences of some of the most attractive European towns we've had the pleasure of visiting.
''
'
'1. Paris, France
''
'
'There is a widespread consensus that Paris is one of the most attractive cities in the world. Even if it's a cliche, we will always think of Paris as the most beautiful city in Europe. No matter how many other places we visit, we always find ourselves drawn back to the City of Lights and filled with amazement and wonder as we look upon it.
''
'
'One of our favorite things to do is to stroll around the city streets late at night, and no matter how many times we go to Paris, we never get sick of looking at the Eiffel Tower. With each visit, we discover other art galleries to go around, and we always locate a peaceful nook where we can have a romantic retreat. It is the foundation upon which the greatness of this city is built.

'We will always have a soft spot in our hearts for Copenhagen. Exploring this charming city is like going on a treasure hunt. With attractions such as Tivoli Gardens, Nyhavn, and The Little Mermaid, as well as an unending stream of canals, Copenhagen unquestionably justifies its status as one of the most attractive towns in Europe. Walking through it is like being in a fantasy.
''
'
'3. Venice, Located in Italy
''
'
'As long as you avoid taking a ship on 'trips', Venice is among the top destinations in all of Europe for tourists to check out. We believe that many individuals do not like Venice because they have not visited the city for an extended period. We devoted six days to discovering Venice and became disoriented in the city's winding passageways. We would stand about and watch cruise ships and bus tours arrive in Venice for the day, then quickly leave before they could see the city.
''
'
'Taking boat rides around the canals offered a picture-perfect experience, and eating soft beverages on the balcony of a café seemed like something out of a dream. Experience what it's like to go around Venice in a Private Water Taxi as we did; it was the best trip we've ever been on.

'
'
'There is a good chance that Budapest is the most beautiful city in all of Europe that is located on the sea. It is impossible to improve upon the experience of walking across the chain bridge to take in the splendor of Buda and Pest staring back at one another across the Danube. You should go down to the river as soon as the lights in Budapest are turned on so you can fully appreciate the beauty of the two cities.
''
'
'5. The Italian City of Florence
''
'
'Florence deserves its reputation as the "city of art." At every one of the twists and turns you take, you will see sculptures of exquisite etchings in the building's construction. It's where you can take your time strolling along the cobblestone streets, taking in the beauty of every structure you see along the way.
''
'
'You may get lost in the unending maze of cobblestone lanes that wind around the Duomo and enjoy yourself. The Duomo dominates the city center. Visit Florence in Photos for additional information: An artistic metropolis. Make sure that your vacation to Florence consists of more than just a day excursion, and spend several days there to thoroughly immerse yourself in the art and culture of this stunning metropolitan area.
''
'
'6. Bern, Switzerland
''
'
'The city of Bern in Switzerland is both the political and cultural heart of Switzerland. It is also included on the UNESCO World Heritage List. This city was designed to be explored on foot, so it does not have the air of a political epicenter. All of Bern's pedestrian pathways are covered, making shopping an enjoyable experience regardless of the weather. Bern is even more stunning than we remembered it to be when seen from the river, which is why we placed it on our list of the most 'beautiful cities' we've ever been to.
