Who doesn't love to travel? Someone is torn to America, someone is drawn to Asia, someone to Europe, and someone likes to travel around our country. One way or another, every tourist eventually has favorite places where you want to return again and again. Moreover, they do not have to be in the "Most famous capitals of the world" rating: each tourist has his own preferences.
And what cities are the most popular in Europe? A survey of a large number of respondents helped determine which city, according to Russians, is the most famous capital of Europe.
Correspondents of the TV show "100/1" ("One Hundred to One") interviewed a large number of citizens of the Russian Federation. They asked people the same question: "Which city is the most famous European capital?" It is worth noting that the opinions of citizens were divided.
The following are the most popular answers to the question of what is the most famous capital city in Europe.
Paris
Practically every resident wants to visit magnificent ParisRussia. The capital of France is a kind of magnet that attracts not only lovers, but also all residents of both our country and the whole world. Paris is crazy. Despite the high (and for some, completely unacceptable) exchange rate of the euro, the far from ideal weather and the often occurring headache, people come here again and again. Although it is not at all difficult to guess what attracts tourists from all over the world to this European city: people come here for first-class service in restaurants (with Michelin stars), for successful shopping (including sales) or to see the famous Parisian " Disneyland" and take a photo against the backdrop of the legendary Eiffel Tower. Although most Russian tourists admit that they go to Paris to see the sights: the famous Louvre, Orsay or Marmottan. There are many reasons to visit this beautiful city. But the fact remains: for most Russians, Paris is the most famous capital in Europe.
Moscow
Oddly enough, in second place in popularity is the capital of the Russian Federation - the city of Moscow. As soon as residents and guests of the city call our capital! And the "Third Rome", and "non-rubber", and even affectionately - "big village". The "village" of the Russian capital is called due to the quiet lanes of Zamoskvorechye, the atmosphere of which resembles the silence of a village. Many tourists traditionally go to see the Moscow Kremlin and Red Square, and now also the famous Moscow City. ManyRespondents mentioned Kitai-Gorod and the new modern Skolkovo research center. An exact list of all the sights of the city cannot be reproduced by any inhabitant of the capital of Russia, and even by an art critic! The number of monuments, theaters and museums here just rolls over! In a word, every resident or guest of the city finds exactly his own in the capital.
London
The capital of Great Britain today is one of the most popular destinations. Tourists from all over the world flock to the heart of Britain, despite the significant high cost of tour packages, coupled with rather modest accommodation facilities. Some interviewed respondents indicated that in order to see the royal guard, visit the Tower and hear the sound of the Big Ben tower, they are ready to pay such a tangible amount. Other respondents said that the capital of Great Britain should be visited, if only because London is the birthplace of the famous Sherlock Holmes.
Berlin
Fourth place in terms of the number of votes of respondents is occupied by Berlin. The capital of Germany, as well as the capital of Russia, is a city full of contrasts. The contrast is observed in everything: in architecture, history, literature. Among the main attractions of Berlin, Russians would like to see the Berlin Wall (a reflection of post-war times), graffiti on the ruins and the legendary "World Time Clock". Several people also noted the restaurant "Last instance", where at one timeoften dined Napoleon and Beethoven.
Rome
Final, 5th place in the ranking goes to the capital of Italy and the ancient capital of the Roman Empire. Rome is the city where all roads lead. There are so many attractions concentrated here that tourists can wander the streets of the city for weeks and still not have time to see everything. That is why experienced travelers advise beginners to book a hotel not for a day or two, but at least for a week. The Russians admitted that in Rome, unlike many other cities in Europe, you can come endlessly. The historic center of the city is a world heritage of mankind. Among the respondents in Russia, the majority noted the New Center, the Vatican, Old Rome, the Northern Center and the Colosseum as must-see areas. Also, some Russians advised to walk the streets of Trastevere, look into the art center de Chirco, visit restaurants in Aventino Testacio and spend the night in San Lorenzo.
Other candidates were also nominated as the most popular capital of Europe: for example, some respondents were awarded the title of "the most famous capital of Europe" to the cities of Prague and Minsk, but these European capitals received fewer votes, therefore they were not included in the list" 5 most popular European capitals".
