Europe has a rich and diverse culture. Its nature offers a lot of different sides and every country had its own specialties. I'm still working my way through all the different countries, but these are some places I find that you have to visit at least once!
1. Ljubljana, Slovenia
Ljubljana is not one of Europe's most known cities, but it is (in my opinion) one of the best. It's very cozy and the river that flows through the heart of the city offers really nice scenery. Only a 30-minute train ride will bring you through the beautiful lake of Bled, a must see! It's not a really big city, so you'll probably only need around four days to see both the city and the lake. But it's worth it, so worth it!
2. 's-Hertogenbosch, the Netherlands
This is my hometown! Although I might be a little biased, I truly think that it's one of the most beautiful cities in the country. It's really old and you still see that old glory. The church, which starting building in 1220 and finished in 1340, is really beautiful and a must-see. There's a traditional Dutch candy store and you Should taste the local delicacy, the 'Bossche Bol'. You don't wanna miss this.
3. Ardèche, France
I've been to the Ardèche quite a few times and every time I love it. You can Canoe, swim in the river, make hikes, visit the little towns. It's just such a nice French region. The weather can be a bit unpredictable, but just go in the summer and hopefully, it'll be alright!
4. Vienna, Austria
Vienna, Austria's capital. It's truly beautiful. The buildings, the parks, the scenery, the palaces. Yes, to all of them. It hosts the oldest zoo in the world and was home to the infamous Empress Sisi. It has beautiful opera houses and you will be amazed everywhere you look.
5. Black Forest, Germany
I love the scenery of the black forest. Most of Grimm's fairy tales were set in this forest and it truly gives you that magical feeling. Europa-park, one of the world's best theme parks, is also in this region and totally worth a visit. You have waterfalls, great hiking places, and truly German restaurants. Go to this region right now, you'll love it!
