4. Sibiu, Romania
A rare combination of a bohemian soul with an enterprising spirit, Sibiu is a spectacular town in southern Transylvania of Romania which is often regarded as the European capital of culture. If the medieval charm of the city with cobbled alleys, baroque squares and back streets of green colored houses with eyelid windows are not alluring enough for you, there are cafes, operas, festivals, and exhibitions too. Not to forget the stunning landscape and scrumptious food that add up to make Sibiu one of the 10 secret European little towns you must visit.
Good list, but would´t call every city a “secret” Sintra, Reine, Hallstatt and specialy Manarola is VERY touristy.
My personal top is Besalú in Catalonia. Strongly recommended.
I love this! <3
Agree with Chris; seeing Manarola as the first ‘Secret’ little town immediately invalidates the post. It receives over ten times the amount of visitors it can cope with and still has some of its trails closed to protect it from the volumes of tourists that arrive every day,
This is such a gorgeous list!!! Thank you so much for sharing!
These are all very beautiful towns but they’re not that secret. I’ve visited 5 already and know about 3 of the others. But again, I’m a big travel nut!
Oh my goodness I love this post! I’m going to be studying abroad in France in the spring and blogging about it! I can’t wait to visit some of these places, especially since some are close to where I will be staying!!
Colmar is lovely! I spent a day there years ago and am now looking forward to taking my husband and daughter there.
yes! thank you so much for this list. I am so happy they are all in Europe… i think i can visit them all in the next two years. <3
