9 European Cities To Visit Before 30
When choosing a destination for our vacations we must take into account some aspects such as the price, the attractions, the interest of the activities that we can do … And much more when you are young, at that time when money is not enough, but yes, the desire to see the world. Therefore, we take you to 9 cities that you have to visit before 30.
1. Berlin, Germany. A city to discover before 30
Berlin is almost certainly one of the most cultural cities on the continent, with dozens of museums and art galleries for all audiences and tastes. In addition, the nightlife has a multitude of different proposals, from discos to live music venues.
But perhaps the most attractive thing about the German capital is the price, lower compared to other cities such as Paris or London. In addition, there are many monuments that can be visited for free. To eat, look for a street stall where you can leave little money.
2. Brussels, Belgium
Belgium, and specifically Brussels, should be one of your first destinations, for many reasons: chocolate, impressive buildings, beer, charming cafes … Do not miss the Matonge district, also known as the African district and the Bozar cultural center.
And if you like comics, in Brussels you will enjoy following the route that will take you through dozens of facades and walls decorated with murals of well-known characters. And, of course, you must visit the Comic Museum.
3. Lisbon, Portugal
The Portuguese capital is a great destination to enjoy before 30, with a thousand plans to do and really affordable prices. Strolling through the streets of the city is quite a spectacle. And you can’t miss the bustle of the Alfama neighborhood or the nights in the Bairro Alto.
It is a city where, in addition, you can enjoy the best Street Art. You will find great examples in Fontes Pereira de Melo avenue, Afonso Costa avenue or in the Jardim do Tabaco, among other spaces.
4. Riga, Latvia
Riga, a World Heritage city, is another destination to visit before 30. There are many reasons for this. It is a city of great architectural and cultural wealth and prices have hardly changed, despite the fact that it is increasingly chosen by tourists.
To save money, we recommend that you walk through the city center and eat at the central market to try some of the specialties of Baltic cuisine. Of course, you should look for cheap accommodation, which you will find for less than € 20 in the center.
5. Český Krumlov, Czech Republic
Although Prague is always famous for many reasons, Český Krumlov is also not far behind in beauty. It is located in the Bohemian region, about two hours from the capital and its old town has been declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.
But there is much more to do than discover the beauty of its historic center. This is a perfect area for rafting or canoeing on the Vltava River.
6. Barcelona, Spain
The most cosmopolitan and open city in Spain is a must for all young people. Soak up Gaudí’s Barcelona, tapas, La Boquería market and Las Ramblas, and of course, Barcelona at night.
And, if the weather is good, you can enjoy the waters of the Mediterranean at Barceloneta beach. In addition, in its surroundings you will find some of the best entertainment venues, terraces and nightclubs in Barcelona.
7. Florence, Italy
One of the most beautiful cities in Italy is ready to welcome all those who go, under or over 30. If you like art history, this is your place (Uffizi Gallery, Duomo, Galleria dell’Accademia). If you like good food, it is too (don’t forget to try the famous gelatos , or Florentine street food).
And of course, if you like to relax on the streets of this beautiful city or if you are traveling as a couple, you cannot forget to take a romantic walk on the Vecchio Bridge or get lost in all its corners.
8. Stockholm, Sweden
That Stockholm is one of the most beautiful cities in Europe cannot be denied. We recommend that you visit it in summer, when you can walk all day through its streets. You can also visit one of the islands that make up the Skärgård archipelago. There are over 30,000 to choose from!
And if you want to see something really special, take the metro and stop at its stations. And it is that its suburban is almost like an art gallery.
9. Greek Islands (Santorini, Fira and Oia)
One of the things that should be done before 30 is to go backpacking somewhere in the world, and the one that we propose here is, without a doubt, one of the best. Santorini, in Greece, with its spectacular sunsets that are only seen in the Hellenic country and its characteristic white houses.
Also visit Fira, Ancient Thira or Oia to finish delighting yourself with the jewels that the Aegean has stored. Don’t forget to try spectacular Greek cuisine or sunbathe on one of its fantastic beaches.
