Budapest. Hungary

The Hungarian capital has existed since the time of the Roman Empire, demonstrating a high level of development in recent decades. And sometime in the first century AD. it was the administrative center of Aquincum, which was later renamed Obuda. Later, it merged with the neighboring settlement of Pest, and in the Middle Ages Budapest became one of the glorious European capitals. Since then, the city has retained the grandeur of the imperial city, and today you can visit a lot of historical places here: for example, the neo-Gothic Hungarian Parliament, Buda Castle, St. Stephen's Basilica, the Opera House, the Museum of Fine Arts.

Dubrovnik. Croatia

The pearl of the Adriatic, the city of Dubrovnik, is interesting for travelers both from a historical point of view and for a resort holiday. Locals jokingly say that in order to see and get to know the whole of Croatia, it is enough to go to Dubrovnik. Indeed, everything that the Balkan state can be proud of is concentrated here - the cleanest sea, magnificent beaches, ancient architecture, as well as a wide variety of local dishes. The historical buildings of the city include the towers of Minceta, Bokar, St. Ivan, the Pile Gate, the Sponca Palace, the Cathedral of the Virgin Mary, the Rector's Palace.

Reykjavik. Iceland

The rating of the most beautiful cities in Europe is continued by the handsome Icelandic capital, which is called the "tourist gate" of the northern country. Despite the fact that Reykjavik is the largest city on the island, it can be walked around in just one day. The mysterious “smoking bay”, as the name of this city sounds in translation, is a hallmark of a small island of Iceland. There is no old pompous architecture here, but there are a number of modern sights: the creative building of the Harpa concert hall, the Perlan boiler room with thermal water, the Lutheran temple of Hallgrimskirkja, a number of museums and exhibitions.

Prague. Czech

Fabulous, mystical, bewitching - such epithets have stuck to the magical Czech capital. The spirit of Prague is fascinating, and many tourists, choosing the most beautiful cities in Europe, return to their favorite cobbled streets: they admire the impressive Gothic architecture, magnificent Baroque facades and red tiled roofs that have become a recognizable symbol of the city. River trips along the Vltava, a walk along the Charles Bridge, getting to know the magical atmosphere of Gothic castles and, of course, the opportunity to enjoy hearty Czech cuisine are far from all the opportunities available to guests of Prague.

Rome. Italy

The eternal city-symbol, the city-source - the birthplace of Western civilization. It was here, on the banks of the Tiber River, that the mighty Roman Empire unfolded, which later played a crucial role in the history of all European states. It is worth starting your acquaintance with the city from visiting the most valuable, key sights that have become the hallmark of Rome: such as the legendary ancient Roman arena Colosseum, the main bastion of the Vatican Catholic Church, the state heart of Ancient Rome - the Roman Forum, the ancient baths of Caracalla, numerous squares and magnificent baroque architecture.
