Most-Visited Cities in Europe

International visitors are usually defined by people spending a night in hotel accomodation. Not many hotels in the Vatican!

In my experience... a lot of people. Rome has many returning visitors, but everyone tends to visit Vatican only once. Unless you're particularly religious or with someone new to the place.

You came to Rome 7 times without entering St Peter's square, St Peter's church or the Vatican Museums? Or Santa Maria Maggiore or San Giovanni?

Same, do they spend the night?

I tried Vatican and Frankfurt. I also thought maybe Naples, Zurich, Belgrade, Copenhagen and some more French and British cities but I guess not.

Here's my tip to the Nordic countries: Take a tent.

See freedom to roam. Includes an opportunity to some amount of free food, as well, if it's the season (berries, mushrooms). Denmark has stricter rules 'cause they're special.

Stockholm is a lovely city but as a fellow German I agree: Really expensive. There are beautiful sights but I didn't know most of them before preparing my vacation. Unlike sights that everyone knows like the colloseum in Rome or the Eiffel Tower in Paris.

Yeah, Stockholm is one of the prettiest cities in Europe.

I would not agree to that. The most important city in european history? I guess you are living there or you are turkish person.

He did say 'one of the most important cities', not 'the most important city'. And yeah, I agree with him. Between being called Byzantium, Constantinople and Istanbul, it has done more to influence Europe than most other European cities have.

McCoy it is probably top 3 most important from eastern roman empire and ottomans, macedonia, istanbul.constantinople is very important.

I’m a regular visitor to Prague and I’d have to say it’s got so much more going for it than just being a place to go for cheap beer. There’s so much history and culture packed into a relatively small city and it has one of the best, coolest and most friendly and welcoming vibes I’ve experienced anywhere in the world. There’s also more than just the old city as well, different areas have very different styles and you can go very quickly from ancient churches to high-end shopping to enormous parks, hipster neighbourhoods and cave-like book shops. It’s got something for everyone, and every mood. I’m gonna stop before I get accused of working for the Prague tourist board, but suffice to say, if it’s position on this list is somewhat surprising, it deserves it nonetheless!

Well, half of it is.

It's true that the border between Europe and Asia is a fuzzy one, but there is arguably no point where it is clearer than at the Bosphorus, and Istanbul (or most of it, at least, including the city centre) is west of that.
