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

All photos by me :)) Image 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… Image

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

All photos by me :)) Image 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 :) Image

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?🧵 Image 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🇮🇹 Image

Rating the French cities which I have visited so far

All photos by me :) Image 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.Image
