Amsterdam is one of the most beautiful European cities . In fact its the capital of the Netherlands . Amsterdam is known for its artistic heritage , the elaborate canal system and the narrow houses that have a one of a kind architecture. The city is also known for its historical attractions , for example the Anne Frank House  , the Amsterdam Centraal and the Dam Square . The inner city its divided by its network of canals into 90 "islands " , the municipality containing approximately 1300  viaducts and bridges  . 
Anyone who has tried to make their way trough the center of Amsterdam knows this : the city is owned by cyclists . The number of bikes you see just by walking around is almost hilarious . Almost everyone has a bicycle and they usually choose this alternative over cars or other public transportation alternatives . At the start of the 20th century , bikes far outnumbered cars in all Dutch cities and bicycles were considered a respectable mode of transport for men and women . One of the major things that makes Amsterdam and Netherlands in general different to other countries is that use of soft substances is  tolerated which of course can cause various problems among visitors as they can get lost in the big city or get themselves in trouble due to the fact that they are not familiar with the streets or what is happening at all . This minor inconveniences can be avoided if you make your research effectively .
Overall Amsterdam is absolutely stunning an  totally worth it ! ]]> 2021-02-08 08:41:00 UTC https://padlet.com/clarisabarrios/665yxpwsuekh3cnd/wish/1175731077 Iulia Bacanu https://padlet.com/clarisabarrios/665yxpwsuekh3cnd/wish/1175732988 Tokyo - Japan

Tokyo is the capital of Japan with over 10 million people living there. There is a lot to see in Tokyo for example The Tokyo tower which is based of the infamous Eiffel tower and you can see a wonderful view of the city. 2.500 people cross The Shibuya crossing at the same time left , right, up and down which is a lot to even imagine! Not only you can shop for video games and anime in Akihabara but also find beautiful and traditional castles and temples for example the senso-ji. Go around the city with colorful trains that go everywhere. 
In the summer it might be quite hot (50 degrees Celsius) and the annoying cicadas that cant seem to get out of your head but summer festivals and fireworks are entertaining to look at. Hungry? No problem! There are a lot of convenience stores in the area. Have a bite of a delicious Onigiri that have something mysterious and delicious at the same time or maybe try a stinky and disgusting natto if you dare. Wash it of with a delicious mochi and some hot green tea. 

Overall, Tokyo is a fun and beautiful city for all ages.]]> 2021-02-08 08:41:31 UTC https://padlet.com/clarisabarrios/665yxpwsuekh3cnd/wish/1175732988 Vlad Dumitru https://padlet.com/clarisabarrios/665yxpwsuekh3cnd/wish/1175733272 Timisoara
Timisoara is the 3rd biggest city in Romania, with a population of 320000.
It is one of the oldest cities in our country and it was the birthplace of the Romanian Revolution that ended the communism in 1989.
As a person who has visited the city multiple times, I think no one should skip visiting the city centre, one of the most beautiful places over there. 
The numerous parks in the city are the perfect place to go if you want to catch some air or simply feel closer to the nature. You should also not miss out on the beauty of The Orthodox Cathedral of Timisoara and the other architectural monuments of the city.

Its population is around 5.500.

Europa's smallest capital city, having a size of 80 ha.

The city is baroque in character, being full of traditional buildings and having some major scars from the Second World War.

Its full of fortifications because it has open sides to water, being an island.

The city is know for its large variety of museums from all ranges of categories, to big gardens with unlike other plant species.

Valletta has an important role in global commerce, and its port is known everywhere in the world. 

There are not many roads in Valletta, because there aren't places big enough for a lot of cars, so the primary transport method is a scooter or a motorcycle. They are very useful and can reach small roads between buildings.

Valletta is also known for its huge amount of tourists, coming from everywhere in the world. Annually, there are around 250,000 visitors, and there are studies that Malta has profits of 257 million euros just from tourists.

Also, Valletta has a unique category of foods and drinks; for example: First is the delicious Pastizzi, a filo pastry baked with ricotta cheese or mushy peas. Wash it down with a can of Kinnie, a soda that uses chinotto bitter-oranges, spices and herbs unique to the region. 

Interesting fact: due to its unspoilt nature, and anceint artefacts, Malta in which Valletta primary, were used into film-location shoot for many huge Hollywood movies, for example "Gladiator" or "Game of Thrones".

It can also get to high temperatures in the summer and very cold temperatures in the winter, having also a huge number of beaches to go to, so bring your swimming suit.

Cairo hosts one of the tallest structures made by humans, the pyramids.
Also, Cairo is home to the biggest bazaars in the world.
The Citadel of Cairo was one of the most impressive military fortification projects.
From my point of view Cairo is a must see city, it is devided into two big "sectors", the poor and the wealthy. Cairo has a big problem with money, because of the inflation. Although Cairo is a dirty and dangerous city it's full of history and great people.
In Cairo you can see plenty of museum such as The National Museum of Egypt( where is located the famous mask of Tutankhamun), also The Mosque of Ibn Tulun is a wonderful place which is a must-see when visiting Cairo.

        Vienna is the capital of Austria, a really beautiful country with really nice and humble people.
        It is considered the "Wine capital" because it can produce a significant amount of wine within its city limits
       Vienna, like Berlin, has also been divided after WWII. It has been divided in four parts, the first district ( the inner city ) being administrated by all 4 powers.
        It has been voted "The world's most livable city" for the last 7 years in a row, taking into account such factors as political, social, economic etc.
      The people who are there have a special charm inside them, I don’t know what it is but it’s there.
      Apart from the people, the buildings there are just the best. They are big, beautifully design giving you a feeling of the past.
In my opinion, it is the best city i have ever been from all the points of view, from the buildings and people to politics and economy. Everytime i get the oportunity I advice everyone to go there because it's just something you need to see and feel, like I did!
