But on the other hand, it is this fact that makes them even more mysterious and interesting.
After all, distinctive national features and the unique atmosphere that makes these cities out-and-outer remained untouched there.

The city is famous for its extraordinarily beautiful historical center. Annecy is also often called "The Venice of the Alps". The city itself lies on the River Tiu and its meandering stone-paved riverbanks resemble Venetian canals.
But the main treasure of Annecy is, of course, the lake of the same name. Both from the city, and from coastal or mountain trails you will be able to enjoy stunning views of the azure expanse of the lake.
3. Polperro, Cornwall, England
Now it's a tourist spot in southwestern of Britain with cozy narrow streets, museums and incredibly beautiful bay.
This idyllic settlement was once a fishing village, but recently has become a rather trendy holiday destination.

One of very important city features you need to know about is that city visitors don't have the right to move around its territory in cars.
So, even if you arrive by car, you'll need to leave it on a giant parking lot north of the city. But don't worry! Anyway, you would have to walk on foot as the streets are too narrow for a car ride.
4. Sintra, Portugal
Sintra is an old Portuguese town located 23 km north-west of Lisbon. The city is famous for its clear waters of the Atlantic and the magnificent coast with opportunities for surfing and fishing. And what's more, it is surrounded by a beautiful mountain range of Sierra de Sintra!

And if you decide to travel a little bit further, set off to the south of Sintra where Cape Roca, the westernmost point of continental Europe, is located.
5. Bonifacio, Corsica, France
Bonifacio is the most picturesque town of Corsica!
Located on the Mediterranean coast, the city ​​stretches along the cliff tops with the height of more than 70 meters.
This place is isolated from the rest of Corsica and still retains its special architectural style with clear influence of the Renaissance.
The most picturesque object of Bonifacio is the City Citadel with a beautiful cemetery and Aragon stairs going down to the water. The buildings on the cliffs seem to be at the brink of the abyss, and it looks like they hang over the water.
