Top 20 must-see places to visit in Europe2026 ranking

Thabor Park is the perfect spot to stroll around in the summer, with family or friends :) The rose garden is a must-see in the summer, as well as the aviary which is perfect for watching birds with your kids. Personally, I also love the many tree species that are interesting to check out! A little hidden gem to look for, the park also has a statue of Glenmor, a legendary figure of Breton folklore preservation! Definitely worth a look :)

This central square, typical of big northern cities, is the perfect spot to meet up with friends and get a first glimpse of what awaits in Amsterdam. We visited during the day and the square was really lively, with dancers, street performers, and a lot of people. Remarkable buildings surround the square, making it one of the most famous and important places in the city. A taste of what we are going to discover next.

We stumbled upon this market by accident while wandering the streets of Amsterdam. It was such a nice surprise. This market is a festival of color and scents. It is a paradise for tulip lovers, the flower that is without a doubt part of the Dutch heritage. There is a very bucolic atmosphere here, a little escape in the heart of the city.

We wanted to see those iconic Dutch windmills. Just north of Amsterdam, we found the town of Zaandam and its famous Zaanse Schans neighborhood. It is an area that houses historic green houses and well preserved 18th century windmills along a canal. It was pretty crowded the day we visited, even in the off season, so plan your trip carefully if you go during peak season. There are tons of things to do, like touring the windmills and traditional Dutch houses, visiting museums, watching wooden clog making, and cheese tastings. We spent a good part of the day there. We headed closer to the center of Zaandam for lunch, which was way cheaper than eating right next to a windmill.

We took advantage of a little time without the kids to wander through this iconic Amsterdam neighborhood with some friends. We were curious to check out this area famous for its windows, but we quickly realized that this part of the city just wasn't for us. It is not so much because of the windows themselves, which sometimes feature very pretty women (you have to put aside any opinions or judgments on the subject), but rather because of the many street touts, who were sometimes pushy and approached us way too often. This neighborhood is far from the most interesting place to visit for tourists who want to discover the city.

We were lucky to be able to enjoy this magnificent spring park, since it is not open all year round. I had heard that the region was famous for its tulips, and today I understand why. We weren't expecting so much magic, colors, and scents... Almost all the tulip varieties are present, and they are particularly well showcased. We moved through the park from one floral display to the next, with shapes and colors that were sometimes exceptional. There are also many greenhouses to discover, sometimes with breathtaking scenery, which is ideal for great photos! The staff is very friendly, even empathetic. The entrance fee is clearly justified, and it is easy to park there. It was crowded, given th…

Nothing to complain about regarding the condition of the place, as it is brand new and particularly clean. Nothing to say about the staff either, as they were very professional and empathetic. There are plenty of activities, many of which are family friendly, and some are very immersive. We went in early April 2025, and since the outside temperatures were not very high, you could feel it inside at times with some occasionally unpleasant drafts. The water temperature in the pools varies, and some where you stay fairly still are sometimes chilly. My main complaint is the wait and the access to the various slides. To get to them, you have to climb stairs, sometimes quite a few, while carrying y…

This is one of the iconic spots in the city of Seville, and it is easy to see why! It is a very beautiful place, the building architecture is truly magnificent, with its little turquoise canals and the way the sun reflects off them! But do not miss the entire Maria Luisa park, which is well worth a visit for a walk, especially the little Isleta de los Pájaros kiosk, which I find very pretty.

After many years of not going, we headed there for our daughter's 10th birthday. Of course, there are some aging attractions, but some are really fun and pleasant to do multiple times. Note that not all attractions and shows were open or accessible during our stay (off-season, early April), and the presence of many school groups sometimes made waiting in lines very noisy. The evening show is a true delight.

The visit is truly fabulous. Whether it is the palace or the gardens, everything is absolutely magnificent. You can easily spend a good two hours there without any problem. If you are passing through Seville, it is in my opinion an unmissable visit! Plus, if you have watched Game of Thrones, you will recognize some filming locations. It is fun to remember the scenes.
