10 Most Beautiful Cities in Europe
Europe has so many interesting and beautiful cities. It's nearly impossible to make a perfect list of the most beautiful cities in Europe. However, I've tried my best to select the most beautiful cities in my list. This is a very tight and subjective selection of the most beautiful cities in Europe. Some will agree, others may find different cities
more worthy of honors. But without dispute, these cities deserve to be
called the beauties of Europe.
1. Brussels, Belgium
The architecture in Brussels is diverse, and spans from the medieval constructions on the Grand Place to the postmodern buildings of the EU institutions. Main attractions include the Grand Place, since 1988 a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with the Gothic town hall in the old center, the St. Michael and Gudula Cathedral and the Laken Castle with its large greenhouses. Another famous landmark is the Royal Palace.
2. Berlin, Germany
Berlin is noted for its numerous cultural institutions, many of which enjoy international reputation. The diversity and vivacity of the Zeitgeist Metropolis led to an ever-changing and trendsetting image among major cities.The city has a very diverse art scene, and is home to around 420 art galleries. Young Germans and international artists continue to settle in the city, and Berlin has established itself as a center of youth and popular culture in Europe.
3. Munich, Germany
The Hofbräuhaus am Platzl, arguably the most famous beer hall worldwide, is located in the city centre. It also operates the second largest tent at the Oktoberfest, one of Munich's most famous attractions. For two weeks, the Oktoberfest attracts millions of people visiting its beer tents ("Bierzelte") and fairground attractions. The Oktoberfest was first held on 12 October 1810 in honour of the marriage of crown prince Ludwig to Princess Therese von Sachsen-Hildburghausen.
4. Athens, Greece
Athens has been a popular destination for tourists since antiquity. Over the past decade, the city's infrastructure and social amenities have improved, in part due to its successful bid to stage the 2004 Olympic Games. Athens is the capital of Greece and is located near the southern tip of the country’s mainland on the coast.
5. Vienna, Austria
Major tourist attractions include the imperial palaces of the Hofburg and Schönbrunn (also home to the world's oldest zoo, Tiergarten Schönbrunn) and the Riesenrad in the Prater. Cultural highlights include the Burgtheater, the Wiener Staatsoper, the Lipizzaner horses at the spanische Hofreitschule and the Vienna Boys' Choir, as well as excursions to Vienna's Heurigen district Döbling. Vienna is located in northeastern Austria, at the easternmost extension of the Alps in the Vienna Basin.

I agree 100%. All the others on the list are very beautiful and have their own unique charm. Brussels is a huge disappointment for a visitor (though might be a godo place to live) and its inclusion is incomprehensible.
