There's no denying my heart is in many ways in Europe. From the moment I stepped foot on the continent to my first time, biting into a croissant in Le Marais, there are so many times I have scattered pieces of my heart around this continent. And I'm convinced Europe is always calling me home. But as for the most beautiful cities in Europe, I can't pick just a few.

Europe is full of fascinating cities. From capital cities like and to the smaller cities of and . There are so many defining moments and "aha!" moments I've had on my solo adventures across Europe. If you're anything like me and seek out the best, you've come to the right place. This is my definitive list of the most beautiful cities in Europe.

The most beautiful cities in Europe

1. Florence, Italy

2. Vienna, Austria

3. Edinburgh, Scotland

I've said it before and I'll stand by it time after time, Edinburgh would have to be one of the most underrated cities in Europe, if not the most. There's something so magical and ethereal about this city that wins the hearts of many (myself included) almost instantly or in my case, before you even arrive. Bonus: there are a bunch of Harry Potter locations in the city. This is where J. K. Rowling herself wrote much of her work in cafes, drawing inspiration from locations throughout Edinburgh.

4. Prague, Czech Republic

5. Munich, Germany

Visiting Germany for the first time is a feast for the senses. But if you're looking for the most beautiful German city to visit, look no further than Munich. This romantic city in the South of Germany is characterised by its beer halls, cafe culture and charming architecture that makes the city beautiful despite the changing seasons. Year-round this is one of our top picks for the most beautiful cities in Europe.

6. Bruges, Belgium

is a city so beautiful, you'd be forgiven for thinking you were in a real life story book. Commonly regarded to as the most beautiful city in all of Europe, Bruges' old world charm has an authenticity that isn't often mimicked in cities when hoards of travellers find out about its' existence but - somehow - it is managed to retain its' charm.

7. Verona, Italy

When you arrive in Verona you might pass out in sheer disbelief of how a city can be so darn beautiful in such a casual, cool-girl kinda way. Verona is said to be the birthplace of Romeo and Juliet (although it is worth mentioning this is a contentious claim), however you'll soon see how the rumour started when you spend more than five minutes in the place.

8. Annecy, France

9. Budapest, Hungary

10. Barcelona, Spain

It didn't take me long to fall in love with , one of Europe's most vibrant cities. Full of colour, magnificent Gaudi architecture and some of the best food you'll find across Europe (patatas bravas anyone!?), there's so much to love about this city. As far as beauty goes, you can't beat the endless architectural marvels in Barcelona - its a picture perfect postcard waiting to happen. Rent a van in Barcelona and go to see the wonders of the city with friends.

11. Amsterdam, Netherlands

12. Paris, France

13. Mykonos, Greece

14. Valletta, Malta

15. Copenhagen, Denmark

16. Stockholm, Sweden

17. Tallinn, Estonia

18. Alesund, Norway

19. Seville, Spain

Like most cities located on a body of water, Seville has a sense of romanticism about it that breeds a type of beauty indescribable by words alone. The city is set along the Guadalquivir river, characterised by narrow winding streets and Arabic influence. This mix of cultures and centuries makes it one of the most beautiful cities in Europe and certainly amongst the top three most beautiful cities in Spain.

20. Zurich, Switzerland

Zurich is one of the most beautiful cities in all of Switzerland and just by looking at photos alone, it isn't hard to see why. This city if charming with an attention to detail like no other.

21. Lisbon, Portugal

22. Strasbourg, France

23. Ghent, Belgium

24. Rome, Italy

I will never forget the first time I visited Rome. It was with my father at 17 years of age and perhaps the single-most city I remember most: every detail. We were both visiting Europe for the first time and were in awe of the history - so much so that it almost feels like a dream looking back. We spent a week exploring the sights and eating our way into a carb-induced coma and I can say with certainty there's only one thing I would do differently: wear better walking shoes.

25. Dubrovnik, Croatia

Dubrovnik became really popular around 5-6 years ago and has only increased in popularity since becoming one of the main shooting locations for HBO's Game of Thrones. This city is as pretty as a postcard with an idyllic location on the seaside - a combination that can't be beaten!

26. Warsaw, Poland

27. Reykjavik, Iceland

28. Venice, Italy

29. Antwerp, Belgium

30. London, United Kingdom
