25 Most Beautiful Squares in Europe
Traveling to new countries can open your eyes to new cultures, experiences, food and people. There are so many places to travel; sometimes it’s hard to decide where to go.
Some European squares have been around for longer than America and are a symbol of power or strength of their city. Most squares locations in Europe are open spaces and were (and sometimes still are) used for markets, festivals, concerts, government proclamations, and other ceremonial events.
