TOP 5 CITIES OF EUROPE IN MY HEART

So, anyhow this is my first article about my favourite cities of Europe. I have always loved Europe with all my heart and all the beautiful places in it, so I thought to make my very first article about it. 
                                    Even though it was kinda hard to pick still I made my choice. I have picked out 5 of my most favourite cities that I'd really love to visit one day hopefully.

1.PARIS

Paris is the capital city of France, the home of Eiffel Tower which is the symbol of love and also one of the 7 wonders of the world.
                                  The most popular nickname for Paris is "the City of Lights" ("la Ville des Lumières", although in French, one would rather say "la Ville Lumière"). It's called this because Paris was one of the first cities to have electricity.For centuries Paris has been one of the world’s most important and attractive cities. It is appreciated for the opportunities it offers for business and commerce, for study, for culture, and for entertainment. Its gastronomy, haute couture, painting, literature, and intellectual community especially enjoy an enviable reputation.
              Paris is especially known for its museums and architectural landmarks: the Louvre was the most visited art museum in the world in 2018, with 10.2 million visitors.For centuries, Paris has attracted artists from around the world, who arrive in the city to educate themselves and to seek inspiration from its vast pool of artistic resources and galleries. As a result, Paris has acquired a reputation as the "City of Art". And when it comes to culture, most people associate French culture with Paris, which is a center of fashion, cuisine, art and architecture, but life outside of the City of Lights is very different and varies by region. France doesn't just have culture; the word "culture" actually comes from France.
                                                Since the late 18th century, Paris has been famous for its restaurants and haute cuisine, food meticulously prepared and artfully presented. A luxury restaurant, La Taverne Anglaise, opened in 1786 in the arcades of the Palais Royal by Antoine Beauvilliers; it featured an elegant dining room, an extensive menu, linen tablecloths, a large wine list and well-trained waiters; it became a model for future Paris restaurants. Today, due to Paris's cosmopolitan population, every French regional cuisine and almost every national cuisine in the world can be found there; the city has more than 9,000 restaurants. Baguettes, Croissants, Macrons, Eclairs, French Cheese and what not.. As you can see, Paris is a bread and pastry lover's dream come true.

2.ROME

        It is the capital city and a special comune of Italy (named Comune di Roma Capitale). Rome also serves as the capital of the Lazio region. It is also the country's most populated comune. It is the fourth most populous city in the European Union by population within city limits.  The Vatican City (the smallest country in the world)^[3] is an independent country inside the city boundaries of Rome, the only existing example of a country within a city: for this reason Rome has been often defined as capital of two states.
                                             Rome has the status of a global city. In 2016, Rome ranked as the 14th-most-visited city in the world, 3rd most visited in the European Union, and the most popular tourist attraction in Italy.  A heady mix of haunting ruins, awe-inspiring art and vibrant street life, Italy’s hot-blooded capital is one of the world’s most romantic and charismatic cities.  The result of 3000 years of ad hoc urban development, Rome's cityscape is an exhilarating sight. Ancient icons such as the Colosseum, Roman Forum and Pantheon recall the city’s golden age as caput mundi (capital of the world), while monumental basilicas tell of its history as seat of the Catholic Church.
                                               Rome is known as the "Eternal city" and also "Caput Mundi," coming from Latin and meaning capital of the world.  Few cities can rival Rome's astonishing artistic heritage. Throughout history, the city has starred in the great upheavals of Western art, drawing top artists and inspiring them to push the boundaries of creative achievement. Also the Roman Emperor Trajan built the first ever shopping mall. It contained multiple levels and over 150 outlets that sold everything ranging from food to clothes.Modern Rome has 280 fountains and more than 900 churches.
                                     Eating out is one of Rome's great pleasures and the combination of romantic alfresco settings and superlative food is a guarantee of good times. For contemporary fine dining and five-star wine there are any number of refined restaurants, but for a truly Roman meal head to a boisterous pizzeria or convivial neighbourhood trattoria. That's where the locals go to indulge their passion for thin, crispy pizzas, humble pasta dishes, and cool white wines from the nearby Castelli Romani hills. To finish off, what can beat a gelato followed by a shot of world-beating coffee?

3.AMSTERDAM

  Amsterdam is the capital city and most populous  municipality of the Netherlands. Its status as the capital is mandated by the Constitution of the Netherlands.
