Just coming back from Madrid, it was really nice. Wide pedestrian streets, beautiful buildings, nice terraces and amazing food.
I guess being Belgian I always have some negativity towards capital city (Brussels gave its name to the phenomenon of lack of urban planning leading to ugliness, bruxellisation), but this made me reconsider this.
So, dear Europeans, what is your favorite capital?
Ljubljana, with Copenhagen as a close second.
Those cities are just so relaxed, chill and interesting.
I’ve been to Paris (my least favorite), London, Berlin, Amsterdam, Stockholm, Oslo, Copenhagen, Ljubljana and Helsinki. Now that I think about it, I don’t travel to capital cities much. They’re usually the worst part of a country.
