Its hard to go past Launceston as a top ten contender






And the clincher

Warsaw is stunning.

Warsaw is stunning.

Thankfully it didn't get bombed too badly in WW2.

Even the cities in Europe that did get bombed badly in WW2 like Dresden still look nice, we stopped over there from Berlin to Prague.

They had to do a lot of rebuilding there though to make it look nice again, it got bombed to bits by the Allies in WW2.

My favourite photo I took in Krakow. Poland and many of the Eastern European cities are chronically underrated and under-appreciated due to their Soviet ties.

I really enjoyed Prague and Budapest to a slightly lesser extent. Looks like I should add Poland to my list of places to visit.

Thought Dubrovnik would have been mentioned more than just the solitary post, I have been there twice during 2 separate Euro trips. There's many places that I found were beautiful but I bloody loved Dubrovnik.

Other notable places I loved in my travels:

Prague

Lauterbrunnen, Switzerland

Most other european cities I felt were nice but not necessarily beautiful. I enjoyed most of the stops along Sail Croatia though.. Korcula, Mljet, Hvar.

Had a cracking arvo at Hula Hular Hvar;

Eastern Europe slaps!

Cheap, less tourists, fun and beautiful

Stuttgart

Stuttgart

home of Porsche and Mercedes Benz

 

[JackOutback]

Interestingly, I didn't much rate Stuttgart, nothing wrong with it as such but much preferred Berlin and Munich.

Watching and observing this from the street was epic... climbing to the top and looking at the view wasn't all that exciting though
