Germany’s oldest city, founded by the Romans. You can still stand under the Porta Nigra gate that’s been here for 1,800 years.
Quedlinburg
A UNESCO gem packed with more than 1,300 half-timbered houses.
It feels untouched, like time skipped past.
Freiburg
Tucked against the Black Forest, it’s full of sunny squares and little streams running through the streets. The cathedral tower has one of the best views in Germany.
Würzburg
A wine city with a hilltop fortress and the lavish Würzburg Residence.
Grab a glass of Franconian wine on the Old Main Bridge at sunset....it’s tradition.
Goslar
A quiet Harz Mountains town with a thousand years of mining history. The market square is straight out of a postcard.
Passau
Where three rivers meet, with pastel buildings and a hilltop fortress watching over it all. The baroque cathedral holds the largest pipe organ in the world.

Walk the Sassi and you’ll feel like you’ve stepped into another century...cave homes, narrow lanes, and a honey-colored skyline that glows at sunset. It’s one of Italy’s most strange and beautiful places.
Lecce (Puglia)
Lecce is like a little baroque theater: every building is carved with flowers, angels, and flourishes, and the piazzas hum with cafés and late-night talk. Southern Italy at its most ornate and friendly.
Each one is a hidden masterpiece of culture, history, and jaw-dropping scenery….🧵

Natchez is all grand old mansions and big river sunsets; walk the historic streets and you’ll feel like you’ve stepped into another era.
The town’s rich history and porch-lined homes are unforgettable.
