16. Paris, France
My one true love: Paree! For those of you who don’t read this blog on the regular – I am OBSESSED with Paris. Every time I have visited I have found a new focus or lens to explore the city through, like my pastry tour of Paris last year, Spring blossoms the year before and my first discovery in Montmartre back when I was seventeen (almost a decade ago – eep!) Safe neighbourhoods I would recommend staying in include: St Germain, Le Marais and the 1st arrondissement (near the Louvre). These are also really central locations to explore from.
17. Tallinn, Estonia
If fairytales are true they must all be based off Tallinn. Hands down the cutest city I have seen with my own eyes, the charm of Tallinn exists in the Old Town, a reasonably sized area that has retained its charm and authenticity over the years. Tallinn is a great stop for two or three days on your European adventure.
18. Melbourne, Australia
As my favourite city in Australia, I am constantly telling everyone I meet that they cannot miss the “culture capital” of Oz (self-dubbed, the capital of Australia is Canberra). Here you will find the best coffee (probably in the world), street culture and city nature on overdrive. There really is nothing I don’t enjoy about Melbourne!
19. Amsterdam
Each time I have visited Amsterdam I have gone solo and I’ve got to say, it is still one of the best cities to experience in your lifetime. If you like photogenic cities that sometimes feel too pretty to be real, then this ones for you!
20. Copenhagen, Denmark
Although not the friendliest/most outgoing city to visit, Copenhagen is a really safe city and beautiful to explore over a few days. Be sure to save some cash, though, as it is one of the most expensive cities to visit in Europe. I chose to travel through Germany and arrive by train, which I found really easy to navigate and more affordable than flying. Staying in a hostel or guest house is a great way to meet people!
