Russia is known for its enormous size and the big, rich cities it has.

and many more things make Copenhagen special.

Legend has it that Krakow originated at the place where a dragon was defeated.
The truly mysterious city of Krakow does have that feeling when you're wandering through the city streets.
But with many bars and cafes, you can sense the friendly atmosphere in every square and in every street.

you really don't have a feeling you're in a small country since everything around you is enormous, affluent and at the same time compact and humble.
Wherever you go you’ll have to pass over small bridges that reach over the canals the city's built on, and the smell of tulips will follow you everywhere.
Colorful, rich and one of the most liveliest cities in Europe,
there are no words that can truly describe Amsterdam, so you'll have to go visit and see for yourself.

Beautiful canals lined with trees, cobblestone streets, gorgeous cathedrals,
and historic architecture are just some of the reasons why Bruges has to be on your travel bucket list.

so that might be a hint on what you might find in Bruges—a lot of small, cute bridges!

Well Aluxers, we’ve reached number one on our list, and although it’s hard to pick one top city as being the most beautiful in all of Europe,
we think there is a strong case to be made for the stunning city of Vienna, Austria.

Let us know in the comments.
And, of course, for sticking with us until the end, you must be waiting for something... Here's your bonus:
The oldest city in Europe is Plovdiv, located in Bulgaria and dates back to 6000 BC,
while the second oldest city is Athens, which was founded between 5000 BC and 3000 BC.
Interestingly enough, one of the narrowest streets in Europe is located in Prague, with its width of only 50 cm or 1.6 feet wide.
The flow of people has to be regulated somehow, so they installed a traffic light on both sides so there are no crowded situations.
