SPECIAL PLACES IN EUROPE

There are a lot of places in Europe like Paris, Rome, London, Berlin, Athens... These places are famous because of their history, culture, buildings... In this article we are going to write about some of these places because we think that they are very interesting, although we have never had the opportunity to go there.



We are going to start with Paris. Paris is the French capital and it's located next to Seine river. It has a lot of famous monuments like the Notre Dame, Arc of Triumphe, the avenue Champs-Élysées... If you go to Paris we recommend you specially to visit the Louvre museum. This museum is considered the most important museum in the world because of its collections, for example we can find the Gioconda by Leonardo Da Vinci. Also it is impossible to visit Paris and not to see the Eiffel tower, it is required to visit it. If you want more information you can find it in wikipedia. 

Another interesting place is Rome. Rome is the capital of Italy, the country of pizza and pasta. Inside of Rome there is another small state: Vatican City. It's one of the six micro-estates of Europe and it has only 0.439 Km2. We recommend you to visit this place because here we have, for example, the Sistine Chapel. In Rome we have the colosseum, this building is considered one of the greatest works of Roman architecture. Also, we can find the Trevi Fountain. It is one of the most famous fountains in the world. Usually people throw coins to this fountain because they believe that it brings good luck. There are a lot of stories abot this, but this belief is the most famous.


The last city we are going to recommend you is Athens. Athens is the capital of Greece, it's considered one of the oldest cities in the world, around 3,400 years. Its name comes from the goddess Athena. The most spectacular building is The Acropolis of Athens. These places were to defend the city and to pray. Also you can see the Odeon of Herodes Atticus. This building is a theatre made of stone in 161 AD and was used for music concerts. However, it has new buildings like the Olympic Stadium. Here we have the most important archaeological museum, the National Archaeological Museum.

We hope that this information will be useful for you to choose your next holiday destination.
