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?
Even though i am german myself, i think i’d have to go with Berlin too. Berlin in summer that is.
Otherwise probably Rome or Lisboa. But capitals seem rarely the best cities of a country to me.
