Europe is for many the ‘Old Country’ and part of that stems from how easy it is to move from Europe to other parts of the world. Certain parts of continental Europe, such as Turkey and Russia, directly connect to Asia. Other parts of Europe, such as Spain, are very much close to a trip to North Africa. What, though, are the best places to head to and visit if you want to enjoy a more out-there trip across Europe? Where might you also find easy connections to other parts of the world?
Seville
If you want to enjoy the hottest city in Europe, head to Spain and go to Seville as opposed to Madrid or Barcelona. Seville is a city that perfectly encapsulates the ‘Roja’ passion of Spanish people, and is a place where you will truly feel Spanish culture all around you. It is also a great way to make sure you can go and visit Africa, too, with a trip to Morocco taking only a few short hours.
Rome
If you fancy a trip to one of the major cities of Europe, then it should be Rome. Rome is a city that feels almost like a country in itself. Spend time in Rome and you can find that it is very different from other parts of Italy. For that city that can boast such incredible culture and architecture, though, there is also the genuine passion and energy that fills the air with just about anything you can do in Rome.
Belgrade
Belgrade is a growing tourist hotspot and is one of the best cities to come and visit in Europe. Belgrade is a historical city that still bears the scars of war, but it can be a truly special place to spend your time. Serbians are in general very welcoming people, and you can find it easy to make friendships here that will last for a lifetime. A tremendous place to spend some of your time in Europe!
Istanbul
Fancy visiting a city that feels like a country in itself, and is a gateway into Asia? Then come to Istanbul. This historical city straddles both the European and Asian continents, and you can easily make your way into the Middle East and wider parts of Asia simply by making your way through Istanbul. A truly mesmeric city that is rich with culture, entertainment, and ways to spend your time understanding just why Turkish culture can feel so unique compared to the rest of Europe.
