My Favorite Cities for Seeing Architecture

Disclaimer –  I know absolutely nothing about architects or styles of architecture!  My own personal opinion of memorable architecture that I see and love is represented below based on my recollection when visiting each of the cities. Open to change at any time…

1.) VIENNA, AUSTRIA – Check out the Vienna sightseeing site for architecture for all the beautiful modern architecture combined with many historic buildings, fountains and bridges.

2.) PARIS, FRANCE – Everywhere you look in Paris there are amazing sights – across the river,  through narrow alleyways, etc. It’s just shocking to see how much there is and it’s overwhelming when you’re there. Here’s a site I found on some architecture info about Paris.

3.) EDINBURGH, SCOTLAND – I felt as if I was stepping back in time when I walked through Edinburgh, to a time with castles, witches, and more. It’s breathtaking. Here’s some examples of Scottish architecture in the Royal Mile, Edinburgh’s center. 

4.) LONDON, ENGLAND – “London is not characterised by any particular architectural style, having accumulated its buildings over a long period of time.” (Wikipedia)  However, there’s a mix of everything and now I see how much the city is changing. There are cranes everywhere and a brand new modern architecture transformation taking place in the city next to old historic places like the Tower of London.  It’s fascinating, and I love walking around the city and seeing all the old mixed with the new.

5.) MONACO – The Monte Carlo Casino pictured below is massive and ornate. Seeing a picture does not do the building justice.  Next to the French Riviera, it’s a splurge of wealth and elegance.  Some of the architecture info can be found by clicking on this link.
