If there is a peaceful and cozy corner on earth that seems to have stepped out of the pages of old fairy tales, it is definitely Colmar. The city is so colorful and picturesque that it dazzles the eyes, gladdens the soul, and you definitely won't want to leave — it's so pleasant and cozy here.
Colmar is one of the most romantic places in Alsace, attracting visitors to admire its architecture, taste delicious French delicacies, wash it all down with rich local wines, and just have a great rest from the gray everyday life and work bustle of big cities. The best time to visit Colmar is, of course, in the spring, when the colors of the city houses blend with the blooming nature.
While in Colmar, you must visit the village of Eguisheim. Why? Because in 2013 (and nothing has changed since) it was recognized as the most beautiful village in France! The village is quite small, with just a couple of streets, but it's a very beautiful place. Having been here, even the most active and social will want to "escape from the worldly bustle" for at least a couple of days.
A direct train departs from Strasbourg several times a day and takes half an hour to reach Colmar, and the drive from Zurich by car takes about 1.5 hours.
Manarola is an amazing ancient town in Italy. It was founded many centuries ago on a rock by the Ligurian Sea and has not lost its charm since then. It is also surrounded by picturesque gardens and vineyards. Truly a paradise!
Manarola is a great option for weekends, as the town is small and there aren't many activities. The beaches here are very small, so spending the whole day by the sea is not the best idea. However, diving is a must, as Manarola is considered one of the best places for this activity in Italy.

Like all Italian cities, Manarola is famous for its exceptional cuisine. And since the town is coastal, in addition to traditional pizzas and pastas, you'll be offered exquisite fish dishes. Just imagine: an evening, a view of the town, a fish delicacy, and delicious Italian wine...
The drive from Pisa to Manarola takes 1.5 hours by car.
Next on our route is Germany, specifically Bavaria and its incredible, fairytale Rothenburg. The city is ancient, delightful, and beautiful at any time of the year. Perhaps the only thing that distinguishes it from many other German cities is the exceptional dedication of the locals, who strive to preserve the ancient appearance of Rothenburg, so finding even one modern "glass structure" is impossible. And the advertising here doesn't spoil the views either.
Narrow streets, picturesque houses, lovely geraniums on the windows, old signs on the houses of craftsmen, the Town Hall, cathedrals, and... a year-round Christmas market. Yes, you can find Christmas in Rothenburg any time of the year, because there's a special Christmas museum here where you can step into a fairytale all year round. And at night you needn't worry — the city watchman patrols the streets every evening to ensure everything is in order. In general, the atmosphere of medieval legends is preserved 100%.
The easiest way to get to Rothenburg is from Munich – it takes about 3 hours by train.
Another city that is impossible to get enough of and that is still not teeming with tourists is the Maltese capital, Valletta. The city has an amazing history and beautiful architecture: dozens of churches and cathedrals, ancient castles and palaces, chapels... In short, there is plenty to see and explore.

The narrow streets of the city center invite you to walk a lot, but if you get tired, you can take a yacht or boat ride in the bay. If you want to enjoy some art, head to the Royal Opera House or the National Museum of Fine Arts — a pleasant and informative experience is guaranteed.
It's best to visit Valletta in spring or autumn, as summers on the island are very hot.
Despite the tragic events that took place in Bosnia about 20 years ago, today, walking through the ancient cities of the country, you won't find a trace of them. This is because the locals have worked hard to restore their land's original beauty and charm, and they have done an excellent job.

A bright example of this is Mostar, an ancient, colorful town surrounded by mountains. The Neretva River divides it, offering incredible views from both banks. It's hard to imagine that in the '90s, this city was almost wiped off the face of the earth, but today, like a phoenix rising from the ashes, it once again captivates everyone with its beauty.
Since Bosnia is not yet a popular tourist destination, prices here will pleasantly surprise every traveler, especially those on a budget. The cafes and restaurants also delight with large and hearty portions at reasonable prices.
Mostar is about 2 hours by car from both Split and Dubrovnik.
Yes, Innsbruck cannot be called an unknown city among tourists, as it is a famous ski resort throughout Europe. But everything changes with the arrival of summer, when the city lives a quiet and measured life. A trip to Innsbruck in summer is no less interesting than in winter, as the incredible nature of the Alps is captivating from the first encounter. To ensure it leaves the best impression, visit the Alpine Botanical Garden — there is plenty to see!
Innsbruck is truly a city of contrasts. Next to ancient houses, modern business centers and shopping complexes are calmly erected. The types of recreation here are also diverse: some prefer luxurious spa complexes with thermal springs, while others choose swimming in alpine lakes, fishing, and cycling.
Innsbruck will especially appeal to women, as it is home to the Swarovski museum — yes, the very same "sparkling" brand.
Pučišća is a picturesque village on one of Croatia's islands, Brač. Like all Croatian towns, Pučišća is famous for its picturesque nature, wonderful mountain landscapes, and ancient architecture. The village is also renowned for its magnificent bay with crystal-clear water, where swimming is a real pleasure.
Everyone who comes here to relax showers compliments on the local cuisine and wine, and gourmets claim that the most aromatic olive oil is made here.
Pučišća is an ideal and affordable option for a summer beach holiday. Primarily because you won't have to compete for a spot by the water, and no one will disturb you while swimming in the sea, as there isn't the same influx of tourists as in popular European seaside resorts.
An excellent souvenir from Pučišća would be items made of white stone, as the area is famous worldwide for its works from this material, and most of the houses on the island are made of white stone.
You can reach Brač island by ferry from Split, which runs several times a day, with a travel time of one hour.

Little French Venice — this is how the picturesque town of Annecy, located on the shore of the eponymous lake, can be described.

Although Annecy is a small town, the locals love to walk and have fun.

Gothenburg is popular among Swedes, but it has not yet fully opened up to the rest of Europe. And it's a pity. The city is considered the culinary capital of Sweden, meaning there are plenty of delicious dishes and delicacies, and it is very picturesque and pleasant.
In fact, there are countless reasons to visit Gothenburg. These include pristine beaches, scenic boat trips to the islands of the Western Archipelago, numerous shops and shopping centers for shopping enthusiasts, interesting museums in the city center (the Design Museum, the Technology Museum, the Museum of World Culture, and others), and many parks, picturesque and clean… In general, there are more than enough reasons to go.
Toruń is a city where everything lives and breathes history. Every house in Toruń is not only interesting in its architecture but also hides many legends within its walls, which the locals are more than willing to share. Toruń is mainly famous for its mysterious Gothic buildings, which are not so many preserved in Eastern Europe, but which are always so interesting to look at.
It is especially pleasant to walk around the city at night when all the houses in the center are illuminated with lights and bright garlands. And the original Town Hall looks even more interesting in this lighting.
It's simply impossible to be hungry in Poland. In Toruń, there is such a variety of establishments that everyone will find something to their liking, and wherever you are, you will always find national cuisine. But the oldest tavern in the city, which has been operating since the 17th century — "Under the Clever Apron" — is particularly popular. And you must try the gingerbread. This sweetness is considered one of the traditional ones by the locals, and it has been made here for centuries.
It takes just over 1.5 hours by car from Gdańsk to Toruń.
