With over 180 bridges flanking adorable canals that course through the town, and an abundance of greenery that will soothe your eyes, Giethoorn is a must visit for sure. No cars allowed though so most of your sightseeing needs to be done on foot or on bicycle.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bibury, England<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1116883\" src=\"https:\/\/tripatlas.s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/29082237\/Bibury-England.jpg\" alt=\"Bibury, England\" width=\"600\" height=\"399\" \/><\/p>\n<p>With an aura that makes you feel like you are millions of miles away from civilization, Bilbury is truly as William Morris remarked, \u201cthe most beautiful village in England\u201d. Complete with striking <a href=\"https:\/\/drprem.com\/green\/\">green <\/a>sceneries stolen right out of a postcard, the village is also home to the Arlington Row, a row of cottages built back in 1380 which happen to be one of the most photographed spots in the region.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Rothenburg \u2013ob-der-Tauber, Germany<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1116886\" src=\"https:\/\/tripatlas.s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/29082237\/Rothenburg-ob-der-Tauber.jpg\" alt=\"Rothenburg ob der Tauber\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/><\/p><div class=\"3a64bb57635b757d04b12bcf0c14b9a3\" data-index=\"2\" style=\"float: none; margin:10px 0 10px 0; text-align:center;\">\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\"\r\n     data-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-9477973674766713\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"8885944693\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n\n<p>Also called as \u2018Red Castle\u2019, this old market town dates back to the 12<sup>th<\/sup> century.

Be-decked by trees on all fronts, the town is surrounded by majestic ramparts that form a beautiful promenade. If the narrow cobblestoned streets are not historic enough, the presence of 99 churches within the town will surely warrant a visit to this beautiful European town.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Brugge, Belgium<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1116887\" src=\"https:\/\/tripatlas.s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/29082237\/Sunset-in-Bruges-Belgium.jpg\" alt=\"Sunset in Bruges, Belgium\" width=\"600\" height=\"401\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Aptly called \u2018Venice of the North\u2019, this city in Europe is among the smallest as well the most beautiful in the entire continent. If the winding canals and cobbled alleys do not mesmerize you, then the romantic bridges surely will. So much so that UNESCO decided to include the entire city center in its World Heritage list. Canal rides on the boat apart, you can take your time savoring the chocolate offered by the numerous chocolate shops in the town or opt to sample locally brewed beers.<\/p>\n<p>Europe is home to several charming villages, towns and cities that are often overlooked by tourists.
