1. Oia (Greece)
The small village on the Greek island of Santorini sits on a cliff and can be explored on foot. You can rent a scooter or even better - a local donkey - to catch a glimpse of the beautiful Greek vineyards.
2. Burano (Italy)
The colorful seaside town is located in the northern part of Venice. It is known for its lace making and colorful houses located right next to the water. We believe the story of the local fishermen that each house is covered in a different color because when the fishermen returned from fishing in the morning and the thick fog, they found their house faster. Today, locals cannot repaint their houses without the permission of the local authorities. They send the locals a list of acceptable colors at their request.
3. Colmar (France)
Colmar is like something from a "Disney fairy tale" and is famous for its flowery canals along which small ships sail. The town is located along the Alsatian Wine Route in the north-east of France. The tourist destination, which boasts German and French architecture from the eighth century, is also interesting because of the miniature train that goes whimsically around the city.
4. Juzcar (Spain)
This town got its unusual appearance after the producers of the movie "The Smurfs" managed to convince 250 local residents to paint their homes blue. Thus, the entire city in the south of Spain remained blue.
5. Česky Krumlov (Czech Republic)
The city is under the protection of the UNESCO world cultural heritage and has been the second largest city in the Czech Republic since the 13th century. The Gothic castle has 40 buildings and palaces, many gardens, towers and today is used as the main location for performing performing arts.
6. Wengen (Switzerland)
Wengen is a ski town filled with traditional wooden houses and alpine views. The fact that cars have been banned in the city for more than 100 years also gives the city a special charm. Live out your Heidi fantasies in this popular tourist destination.
7. Giethoorn (Netherlands)
The idyllic Dutch village, also known as the Venice of the North, is known for its small canals, which are connected to each other by small bridges, giving a sense of privacy.
8. Alberobello (Italy)
At first glance, it seems like garden gnomes live here, but still a small number of lucky people inhabit a couple of hundred houses on top of a hill surrounded by olive groves.
9. Bibury (England)
The old village is known for its yellowish stone cottage with a steep gable roof and the famous location where the movie Bridget Jones's Diary was filmed. It is widely known as the most beautiful village in England.
