Good memories in Ronda with my son. I wanted to move there immediately. Mont San Michel visit was with a group. Interesting arrow slits in austere buildings. Toledo was seen traveling solo. The river and countryside are pretty. TY for your list.😊👍

Donna Woodford I’ve been to Ronda and loved it. So beautiful and great hiking outside the city. Also been to Siena and its also an amazing place

How come Florence is not in the list?

@@lissandrafreljord7913 Florence is not a little town

Thanks, that made it easier for me to count my personal score. I have only visited 9 of them so far, but then I live in Hanoi.

I want to go to these places!

There is always a Barstow, close enough to visit.

Thank YOU, and most welcome to Europe if you enjoy ancient buildings !

@@erzsebetnilsson580 medieval lol. But there are ancient places as well.

No

Agreed!

@@journeytowardslife yes it is

I'm European, and I love Europe scenery, but we also have typical Asian towns, like in Japan. There's a lot to see all around the world

@@journeytowardslife 😆

which is why North America can never compete!!

@@MsElke11 Its as if north america wasn't part of the medieval era...

@@SuicidelG well, of course not, since COLUMBUS brought EUROPEAN culture to N.A. after 1492. Before that, it was all NATIVE WILDERLAND!

@Joemontana G If Mao didn´t destroy most of the china herritage and if today´s china wasn´t full of souless giant buildings i would say that china is more beauthful than the most places europe. Have you seen the mediavel towns in china?? Those tows are gourgeus. And japan has a lot of good old tows that combine perfectly with the land.

And India has nice buildings too. The problem is that the british invaded, conquered, facilitated the creation of slums and stole too much indian wealth, And that´s a problem in the entiere places that were colonised by europeans and the arabs..

Joemontana G Europe is certainly the best place to live on earth. If you value human rights, standard of living, workers rights, food quality, personal safety, everything. The cities are living museums full of art and sculptures and amazing architecture. Europe sets the standard for quality in everything. Other places are great too but mostly all Europe is another level compared to the rest of the world. Whatever Europe does usually the rest of the world tries to do the same.

Durham Cathedral was robbed, from the R.C., by the C. of E.

Norwich too

Wat abt Florence.... it is the place where renaissance actually began due to the patronage of the Medici family... in my opinion it should be the no. 1 city

Soria, Burgos...

It's impossible to list all European medieval towns in just 33:59.

Still fun to watch, though.

I guess you missed "most beautiful" in the title...

@@HollandPhotography1 "Most beautiful" is a very subjective term. I grew up in Doesburg in the Netherlands, a beautiful Medieval city (almost 800 years ago it received its city rights), which could definitely be on this list. But there are so many beautiful medieval cities in Europe. The ones in the video above are the most famous, but not necessarily the most beautiful. You can expect lots of tourists in each of the examples in the video.

reading video's description i expected some hidden non (very) touristy gems. and then i see sienna no1!!! oh well... so i wonder why venice is not in? most, if not all of these places are included in every descent tourist brossure available...

Which ones do you recommend in andalucia?

@@shampoo1733 it depends on what you like, really. From small villages like Cazorla or Zahara de la Sierra, to bigger towns like Ronda or Carmona to cities like Seville, Cordoba or Granada. Cadiz is very distinctive too, and Setenil de las Bodegas is quite unique. If you like, I could tell you what I'd visit in each one of these, especially Seville, since it is my favorite.

May the Gods forever watch over Mother Europa.

@@howlinsg1968 I prefer San Giminiano. And Mont Saint Michel is unique, just like Venice.

What about Cáceres (Spain) ? I’ve been in most of this cities and Cáceres would be in Top five.

Bellissimi posti il Molise e un sogno pesche e un paradiso si trova in Molise un borgo stupendo e molto visitato si chiama il presepe del Molise

@@paolavergate9703 Paradiso appunto, perché non esiste 😂

And Mdina

I wholeheartedly agree

Tiago Pinto Marvão

Elvas , Montemor o Velho , a própria cidade de Coimbra

I agree __Portugal I has very pretty towns

Portugal a terra dos meus antepassados. Olá do Brasil.

@@Kaptor21 Deu pena não ver Marvão na lista

I spent 3 days I Siena and loved it. The fact that people live there and it’s not just a touristy town made it more charming. I could see myself living there.

I love Siena. Went there in 2010 on a day trip from Florence. Awesome cathedral!

I am from Portugal and can't complain of a lack of beautiful, old towns. My city of Porto, is itself 2400 years old, but I was several time in Siena and I must say, it's one of the most beautiful cities I've ever been. Really gorgeous. You're lucky to be from this beautiful city.

Absolutely loved Siena, amazing city. Can't wait to go back some time. My cousin loved it so much they called their daughter Siena

Siena is my favorite of any city I have been to in Europe and I lived in Europe for four years. All of Tuscany is beautiful, but there is something about Tuscany that was just so amazing.

Nice but I prefer Mantua.

And Lübeck the Queen of Hanseatic league

I am argentine, it surprised me that Visby is not on the list ! . Medieval towns and cities are the most beautiful thing to me !! Greetings from Argentina

Born raised and living in Visby. How the hell is it not on the list? It made the list of "Historical and cultural legacy" back in the 90's and is the most well kept medieval city in all of Sweden, maybe even Scandinavia.. Smh...

Only in Toscana there is probably 15-20 small cities who is on the same level as Siena. Before when I lived in Norway, I did go visit my sister in Prato just 10-15 wit train from Firenze. And it is so easy to go by train ore bus from Firenze to all thes small beautiful cities.

enjoy it while it's still there, some say

Britain’s smaller towns are gorgeous

things can change in a generation

The earliest signs of a process leading to sedentary culture can be seen in the Levant to as early as 12,000 BC, when the Natufian culture became sedentary; it evolved into an agricultural society by 10,000 BC.[9] The importance of water to safeguard an abundant and stable food supply, due to favourable conditions for hunting, fishing and gathering resources including cereals, provided an initial wide spectrum economy that triggered the creation of permanent villages.[10] The earliest proto-urban settlements with several thousand inhabitants emerged in the Neolithic. The first cities to house several tens of thousands were Memphis and Uruk, by the 31st century BC (see Historical urban community sizes). Historic times are marked apart from prehistoric times when "records of the past begin to be kept for the benefit of future generations";[11] which may be in written or oral form. If the rise of civilization is taken to coincide with the development of writing out of proto-writing, the Near Eastern Chalcolithic, the transitional period between the Neolithic and the Bronze Age during the 4th millennium BC, and the development of proto-writing in Harappa in the Indus Valley of South Asia around 3300 BC are the earliest incidences, followed by Chinese proto-writing evolving into the oracle bone script, and again by the emergence of Mesoamerican writing systems from about 900 BC.

western cultures. There are other regions and cultures in the world, believe me

@@tuanistico Have I hurt your tender feelings? I am so, so, so sorry! How can I send you money?

@@Troul478 he's right, there are many cultures in the world

actually Sighisoara is the Europe´s Medieval gate.

Sighisoara/Szegesvàr is really really beautiful!!

The beautifut city of Sighisoara, the medieval fortress is truly fabulous, shame they didn't mention it.

And Sibiu

Sant de acord!!!!❤️

Krakow, Avignon and I had seen Torun as potential places I want to visit in the summer. How long would you recommend in Krakow and Torun? Is it easy to get from Krakow to Torun?

Well, you could mention many more. It is difficult to make a list of 25 when you have hundreds such old towns in Europe. Krakow could be included, but so could 300 more.

Go to Oporto!

I love Portugal.

I was expecting Rhodes and Kraków in Poland to be in top 10.. Not to mention Prague, Bratislava and many more...

Greece is wonderful but really not famous the their medieval towns!

@@dalinaddei I agree -and it is a pity!

Rhodes is pretty cool

And Lübeck the Queen of hanseartyc League mother of brickstonegotik. The City of seven towers

So which is your favorite?

In France too

@@mikeincalifornia Ravenna! ... But there are hundreds of beautifull little town in Italy...

Urbino, Volterra, Gradara, Castell'Arquato, Vigoleno, Dolceacqua... The first ones passing from my mind. :)

@@wishmao111 Lucca, Ferrara, Mantova, Bergamo, Apricale, ecc...

Glass city, represent!

I was there and loved it.

Honestly best place I ever have been in, dont know just the atmosphere it had with people everywhere, medieval shops with swords and armor in every corner of the town, the medieval buildings, the tours, it was one of the best if not the best experience I had while visiting a city.

Very beatiful

@Aboubakar Nkhangweleni People are proud of their countries and their countrymen who built them how hard is that understand? Also you are from africa wtf do you care

@Aboubakar Nkhangweleni Sorry, i don'get it. What's your point?

@Aboubakar Nkhangweleni Like you for example

@Aboubakar Nkhangweleni you had to really think very hard to make such a dumb comment, didn't you?

Alberto Bisti Bravo!

Lucca and Siena never __ there is a lot better than those towns

I was waiting for Visby to show up!

I have visited the beautiful island of Chios some years ago, and I have been to the village of Pyrgi. And also one abandoned and delapidated village at the mountain top with a monastery nearby. It was an eerie experience and very very beutiful one, too! The tragic history of the people there, as well. Unfortunately I have forgotten the name of the abandoned mountain village.

Romania is insane ,lot great things to discover ,one at the most fascinated european country

🤣🤣🤣

Nice. I would recommend my town Edinburgh Scotland, Vitoria and San Sebastian Basque Country, Malaga Spain, Verona Italy, Durham and Bath England, Antalya Turkey, Kotor Croatia, Salzburg Austria.

so true, there's too much beauty, in every country and of every kind. it's so sad that we can't visit the whole world and some can't even leave their countries

Mestreech! 🧡

It doesn't matter if you miss some, you still propose at least a few of them for the viewers to discover. This on itself is not wrong.

True, if only it weren't so tourist-trappy. I guess it's unavoidable with such a small place full of so many attractions.

A war between Europeans is a civil war. We've come a long way and still got a long way to go. As long as we respect eachothers differences, we can focus on what we have in common.

@@ewoudalliet1734 if we respected eachother's differences, we wouldn't be together.

@@markoshea6833 How does that work? If we didn't respect eachothers differences, there'd be mass separatism within the EU. Catalans want independence from Spain because they feel they are culturally and linguistically different (as well as economic reasons); same for Galicia, Basque; and Flanders where I'm from, where the Flemish have to learn French, yet the Walloons don't - and many other inequalities due to lingual differences like an unequal voting system. Trust me I grew up in that type of environment, I know how it works. Even more, I don't feel like Belgium is a state that should exist, yet I'm pro-European. If you don't respect Europe's diversity, the people of Europe won't respect you; try to then keep them all together. Within the EU it is of utmost importance to preserve European heritage, which includes lingual and cultural diversity. "Historically" these differences weren't always respected, but the historical climate was also completely different.

Agree. They forget Granada. Maybe they don't know Alhambra The most beautiful moorish Palace in the world

@@sentailover1 Not moorish..it is an Arab palace as Nasrid Dynasty was descended from Arab Banu Khazraj tribe., the chief of that tribe was Sad Ibn Ubadah one of the companions of the islamic prophet Muhammad
