12 PERFECT LITTLE TOWNS IN EUROPE

Cities are great, but I think small towns have the magic ✨

While major cities like Rome, Paris, and London are obviously incredible European destinations, oftentimes I find my most memorable and charming experiences in Europe are in the smaller towns and villages. Getting away from the hustle and bustle of city life shows you a different side to these countries and can offer a more relaxing and picturesque experience.

After traveling all across Europe, here are 12 little towns that truly stole my heart, why they did, and how best to get there:
