 Hi everyone and welcome to this youtube channel.

In this video, we are going to talk about the Top 10 places to visit in Europe

1. Lisbon, Portugal

No European trip is complete without a visit to Lisbon. Generous and enthusiastic by nature, the Portuguese will welcome you with warm smiles and hearty meals. Thanks to an uptick in direct flights in recent years, accessing Spain's neighbor has never been easier – or more affordable.

When you fly into this Portuguese capital, get ready for a workout: known as the city of seven hills, you can expect to go up and down, down and up – and repeat. Don't worry, hop-on-hop-off buses and trolleys – like in San Francisco – make it easy to give your legs a break.

Here, there are many historical buildings to stand in awe of – from Sao Jorge's Castle to the Santa Justa Lift and the Ponte 25 de Abril bridge. Parque Eduardo VII is the city's largest park, and it offers arguably the best view of Praça Marquês do Pombal, Avenida da Liberdade, and the sparkling Targus River.

Make sure to carve out time for a quick beach trip 20 minutes away, and to feast on pastel de nata, the country's delicious desert. Refurbished in 2018, the lovely Doca de Santo restaurant offers tasty fare almost as impressive as its river views.

2. Dubrovnik, Croatia

It's easy to see why Dubrovnik has been dubbed the "Pearl of the Adriatic." Surrounded by ancient stone walls and peppered with orange-tiled roofs, this southeastern Croatian gem is one of the most stunning cities on the Dalmatian Coast, and one of the best places to visit in Europe in summer. No wonder the television series Game of Thrones chose this as one of its shooting locations.

Dubrovnik's old-world beauty, captivating tourist attractions (the view from atop Mount Srd is unbeatable), and popular day cruises to the Elafiti Islands make this a hot spot for travelers during summer. And don't forget the food - it's almost impossible to pick a bad restaurant. To avoid the crowds, try to plan your trip at the very start or end of the high season, running from May to September, for less shoulder-to-shoulder action.

In addition to the many structures you'll recognize if you're a Game Of Thrones fan – including Gothic Rector's Palace – this easy-to-navigate city features many buildings preserved from the 16th century. The Old Town is ripe with restaurants, boutiques, and tours, all surrounded by the impressive stone wall, where many apartments have been carved into the side.

3. Reykjavik, Iceland

Reykjavik may not be the first place that comes to mind when you're considering places to visit in Europe, but it should definitely be on your list. While many people fly to Iceland in hopes of catching a glimpse of the Northern Lights, some travelers choose the summer for endless sunshine. And by endless, we really do mean never-ending: from mid-April to mid-August, there is no darkness in Reykjavik, due to its geographical position.

If you don't mind using blackout curtains so you can reap some rest, this season has some of the most gorgeous hiking trails and overlooks. Picture this: colorful fields of greens and flowers, blue skies juxtaposed against the Blue Lagoon healing waters, and near-perfect 60- to 70-degree weather.

In addition to Mother Nature's works of art, the city of Reykjavik is the largest in the country, and serves as the capital. Here, you will find charming shops and restaurants with questionable fare – including shark – and a stunning concrete church, called Hallgrimskirkja. Most tourists also enjoy going for a whirl in the Perlan dome, which rotates to provide views of town, the ocean, and the countryside.

4. The Azores, Portugal

Despite the area's vast size, the nine isles that make up the Azores are somewhat hidden gems off Portugal's main coast. These verdant isles are magical and serene, home to UNESCO World Heritage sights, hot springs, gushing geysers, bubbling mud pots, dark caves, and romantic grottos. Visit in summer for the most optimal weather conditions for exploring the outdoor wonders.

São Miguel is the largest of the Azores islands, a true beauty bursting with adventure and plenty of tourist attractions in Ponta Delgada, its capital. On this and the other luscious isles, prepare to be wildly entertained. From biking to paragliding to hiking to spelunking, there are so many fun things to do in the Azores, especially during summer's high season.

Keep your eye out for majestic blue lagoons, volcanic craters, and towering mountains so astounding, you'll need to stop to catch your breath.

5. Crete, Greece

It's easy to see why Crete is deemed one of the best places to visit in Europe in summer. This Greek beauty is a haven for travelers who love fresh food, historic tales, archeological sites, and the stunning vista of bright azure waves lapping volcanic shores.

Travel in late June if you're hoping to avoid the summer crowds. July and August boast impeccable weather, which means you'll be clamoring for space on the tourist-laden streets and standing in lines at Crete's top tourist attractions.

Crete's soft, sandy beaches are unmissable, especially if you're looking for a way to soak up summer's warm rays. If you only have time to visit one (which would be a true shame), put Elafonissi Beach at the top of your list of must-visit beaches in Crete. It's one of the best pink sand beaches in the world, and located only two hours from the popular city, Chania.

6. Rome, Italy

Rome is a romantic place to travel in Europe during any season, but the sticky, sweet summer is one of the best times to visit the Italian capital. Rome is a unique city that seamlessly combines historic architecture, tourist attractions, and modern culture, not to mention drool-worthy food.

No matter when you visit, carve out time for a trip to the Colosseum, the capital's most famous, and recognizable, attraction. Be warned that the summer-time lines can be long, so pack sunblock, a hat, and water for use while you wait your turn to wander around this intriguing site.

7. Paris, France

There's a lot to love about Paris! Although hot and humid at times (particularly in August), this popular destination is one of the best places to visit in Europe in summer.

Yes, you'll be looking at higher rates on things like hotels, flights, and tourist attractions, but being able to leave sweater weather behind while you see the sites makes the added expenses more than worthwhile. In fact, the weather between June and August is practically parfait (a.k.a. perfect) with highs in the upper 70s.

In addition to dining en plein air (a.k.a. outside), summer's climate opens up a bevy of enjoyable activities to enjoy in Paris–like lying on the beach, watching outdoor movies, dancing at an open-air concert, or watching bikers roll into town during the Tour de France.

8. London, England

Since it can start to get chilly as early as late August in London, we suggest catching a redeye to The Smoke in June or July. Since schools don't get out until early to mid-June, you'll fight fewer crowds if you visit before then. It's been known to get quite sweaty at this time of year (into the high 20s and even 30s) and air-conditioning is rare, so dress accordingly.

The capital of both England and the United Kingdom, London is a healthy mix of modern conveniences and tradition, and serves as one of the most influential hubs on the planet. You'll want a handful of days here, especially since there is so much to see: Westminster Abbey, the London Eye, The Shard, Buckingham Palace, Borough Market, The Tower of London, and the list goes on.

9. Tenerife, Spain

Tenerife tops the list of the best places to get married in the world. Once you catch sight of its magnificent sandy beaches, dazzling cerulean waves, and lush nature reserves, you'll understand why: it's utterly romantic.

A hot spot for travelers to Europe in summer, Tenerife is one of the best places to visit in the Canary Islands. Most visitors spend the majority of their time digging their toes into the soft sand during summer, but you'd be amiss to skip a visit to the remarkable Teide National Park. Pack comfy walking shoes and plenty of water if you're planning to hike this volcano, the third highest in the world.

During summer in Tenerife, you can expect dry, sunny skies with temperatures sometimes tipping the thermometer over the 28-degree Celsius mark. You'll be sharing the streets with many other tourists from across the globe since this is one of the best places to visit in Europe in summer, so it's best to book your hotel and dinner reservations well in advance.

10. Edinburgh, Scotland

Summer in Edinburgh is a magical time. While you won't likely sweat (highs hover around 19 degrees Celsius), these ideal temperatures make it easy to spend a full day comfortably exploring the city's best tourist attractions.

Edinburgh Castle is a must-see, particularly when the sun is shining. An unmissable icon towering above the city, this historic spot is one of the top tourist sites in Scotland. Summer presents visitors with the opportunity to admire the lush vegetation climbing the hill to the castle, and its blooming gardens highlighted by bright blue skies.

June, July, and August are perfect months to wander Edinburg's best parks. Be sure to pack a picnic, so you can stay even longer to fully enjoy the fresh air and picturesque surroundings.
