10 of my favourite small cities in Europe(in no particular order)🧵

All photos by me :))

Pau🇫🇷

Pau is a small city nestled at the base of the Pyrenees, giving it glorious views such as the one below. The city is famous for its castle, where King Henry IV was born. It has an incredible vibe, great weather and even better food!

I live here though so I’m biased…

Siena🇮🇹

Siena is probably one of the best preserved medieval cities in Europe! Despite being a small city, Siena has an incredibly grand atmosphere which reflects its powerful past. The city is awesome but even just the cathedral makes it worth the trip!

10 of my favourite medium sized cities in Europe(in no particular order)

All photos by me :))

Aix-en-Provence🇫🇷

This city is known as the “City of water, City of art”, this nickname is very appropriate for Aix. Winding streets, fountains, and beautiful pastel coloured buildings everywhere, I truly enjoyed walking around this city :)

Bergamo🇮🇹

Bergamo is a beautiful fortified city just 1 hour from Milan. This city is rich in history and architecture, with impressive churches, palaces and glorious views. The city is nothing short of amazing!

𝐔𝐧𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐡𝐞𝐝 𝐄𝐮𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐞

Around Europe you will find many unfinished architectural projects, from grand churches to hospitals.

But is it our duty to finish what our ancestors started?🧵

These projects were often abandoned due to lack of funding, wars, political turmoil, change in leadership, diseases or even geological factors.

A famous example is the notoriously unfinished Duomo di Siena🇮🇹

The Duomo di Siena is an interesting example because even though its construction was abandoned due to the Black Death, the structure wasn’t left to rot. Its large arches were used in the construction of other buildings around the cathedral. It’s more repurposed than incomplete.

Rating the French cities which I have visited so far

All photos by me :)

Paris: 6/10

Paris is definitely beautiful and very rich in culture, history and art, however it has too many problems that make the overall experience less enjoyable. I have been to Paris 5 times and each time I went I didn’t have a great experience, some of my biggest complaints - the scammers are everywhere, people are indeed very rude (I have enough for a whole post on this) and the city is quite dirty and sketchy in many places. However thanks to its architecture and museums I’ll give it a 6.

Lille: 7/10

Lille is a gorgeous city in the north of France and I’ve been there 4 times so far. The people were quite nice and the old town is gorgeous, however there just isn’t that much to do and after a while it gets boring, still a lovely place a day trip though.
