15 Most Gorgeous European Fairytale Towns

by



Fairytales are something we’ve all grown up with… telling stories of fantastical kingdoms with often dark undertones… but, while most of them were created for entertainment, or to teach morals to children, many of the settings are, surprisingly, far more realistic. Most of the legends originated in Europe where, at the time, they were seen as fables based in real world places, and many of the villages that inspired these environments can still be seen today. It’s time to grab your glass slippers, and be very wary of anyone offering you apples, or who live in gingerbread houses… as we take a tour of the 15 most gorgeous European Fairytale Towns.

  6. Nice, but what a weird selection of fairy tale European towns. The only one that might be included in a top15 is Sintra.
    I can name at least 200 better alternatives.
    Why Gent and not Venice, Strassburg or Edinburgh? If this was meant for small towns, not big cities, then Gent (260.000 inhabitants) should not be on this list at all. There are zillions of big cities far more fairytale than Gent. Brugge been one of them in Belgium.
    There are at least 250 small villages in Europa more interesting than Giethoorn.
    In France there are also many like Colmar
    As for Germany, towns like Cochem Bernkastel Kues-Goslar-Wernigerode-Quedliburg-Trier Monschau and Fussen/Schwangau ,including Neuschwanstein, the white castle at the end of this film, are much better options.
    Spain-Poland-Norway-Kroatia-Romania-Bulgaria also have a lot to offer.
    Must admit it is difficult to make the right choices, but if you only know a limited number of European countries and not very well, then you should have left the MOST out of, 15 Most Gorgeous European Fairytale Towns.

  25. 11:20 FOLLIES!!! There's no such thing as a foley! A building that doesn't serve much practical purpose, but is built extravagantly for ornamental and aesthetic reasons is called a "folly"! C'mon Top Fives!

  26. Was lucky enough to go to two of these places on my first two trips to Europe from the US in 2019: Positano and Ghent! Still two of the most beautiful places I've been in my life! Loved everywhere I went in Germany, too! Can't wait to go back!

  29. Nhờ ơn Chúa Thánh Thần nên trong năm 2016 ở Việt Nam giống Xuất hành chương 7 câu 14 đến chương 10 câu 29:
    Số 1: Nước biến thành máu: Cả 4 tỉnh miền Trung và thế giới từ 2016 đến 2023: Nước biến thành máu
    Số 2:Ếch: Cả nước
    Số 3:Muỗi: Cả nước
    Số 4/Ruồi nhặng: Cả nước
    Số 5:Ôn dịch: Sốt xuất huyết, sốt rét
    Số 6 :Ung nhọt: Bệnh Tay Chân Miệng
    Số 7:Mưa đá: ở Sapa và các vùng lân cận
    Số 8:Châu chấu: ở Lai Châu và thế giới từ 2016 đến 2023
    Số 9:Cảnh tăm tối: Đó là 21,22,23 tháng 12 khi trái đất ở xa nhất mặt trời thì Bắc cực sẽ có ba ngày ba đêm không nhìn thấy nhau
    Rồi một đêm tôi nằm mơ thấy những nấm mồ mầu trắng ở đó có hình Thánh Giá mầu trắng chung quanh là tím than. Rồi có tiếng hét: Chết hết cả rồi ! Tôi giật mình thức giấc:12 giờ đêm ở Mỹ (1 giờ đêm). Ở Việt Nam là 15 giờ cùng ngày
    Rồi một đêm khác tôi nằm mơ thấy hai con chim nhạn bị bắn chết. Tôi nghe nó nói: Nó là anh em sinh đôi. Tôi liền nghĩ là…. và Tận thế
    Vậy….. rồi tận thế lúc 12 giờ đêm ở Mỹ (1 giờ đêm). Ở Việt Nam là 15 giờ cùng ngày
    YouTube:” Những dòng sông nước chảy như máu từ thế giới 2016 đến 2022”
    Dịch bệnh, lủ lụt, các điềm lạ, động đất, hạn han…
    Phản Kito là ĐGH
    Sắp tận thế lúc 15 giờ cùng ngày

  30. When you called Colmar a village, I had to laugh: it has been a free imperial city since 1226 and was already mentioned as a city by Charlemagne' son in 823! But thank you very much for including it in the 15 most gorgeous Euroepan fairytale town :-).

  32. An honorable mention should be Carcassonne, France, the only remaining intact, fortified and walled in Medieval city there that survived the unification of France by Louis IV. It had been an independent Duchy but surrendered to the Sun King rather than be destroyed. It's a very charming little city where people still live and is also a world heritage site.
