In Vienna<\/a> in particular, there has been a massive $240m redevelopment project of the central train station, which includes stunning new hotels that travelers love. And, 2021 is a particularly special year to visit Austria as it marks the 151st birthday of the legendary Musikverein concert hall and Beethoven\u2019s 251st birthday. If you\u2019re exploring other parts of Europe like Prague, you can easily get to Vienna by train, with affordable Prague to Vienna train tickets available. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Lille\nhas now been awarded the World Capital of Design thanks to its advances in\nurban development. It\u2019s certainly on its way to enjoying amazing public spaces\nthanks to several sustainable design initiatives, and quickly becoming a\ncosmopolitan haven with a range of upcoming boutiques, restaurants, museums and\ngalleries for tourists to enjoy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n North Macedonia is free of tourists and big-name chains, but has a wealth of historic sites to explore like the fortress in Skopje<\/a>, the megalithic observatory, Kokino, and Heraclea Lyncestis; an ancient city lying on the outskirts of Bitola. In 2021, visit North Macedonia to experience a food festival known as Terra Madre Balkans, which will see chefs and culinary experts from around the world celebrating the \u2018slow food\u2019 movement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Many of the best things to do here are outdoors, whether you want to explore forest paths, enjoy a dip in the lake after a sauna, or head to an inner-city island to sunbathe. The compact city center means that it\u2019s easy to island-hop via footbridge, train or boat. If the sun\u2019s out, it\u2019s a great time to explore the neighbourhoods by scooter or rental bike. During colder weather, Stockholm has a vibrant restaurant scene and coffee culture and there are many fun games bars where you can spend time away from the cold. You can get from Oslo to Stockholm by high-speed train; it\u2019s an easy destination to reach by rail from other Scandinavian or European countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Forget about London – it\u2019s the northern city of Manchester<\/a> that\u2019s made it to the list of top cities to visit in Europe. It\u2019s one of the fastest-growing cities on the continent thanks to an influx of digital and media companies. There\u2019s plenty of upscale hotels and many fun things to do, from gorgeous countryside to exciting VR gaming centers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n A quiet, idyllic place, overtourism appears to have forgotten about Paros<\/a> – and those who visit, love it. Right in the middle of the Cyclades, Paros is often described as “the cooler cousin” of the more populated islands. And, there are plenty of hip new hotels and hostels popping up<\/a>, so get there before the crowds do. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The\nGeorgian capital is seeing a recent influx of cool concept stores, and new\ncuisine is booming as young chefs bring traditional foods into modern times. A\nwide array of wine bars and impressive restaurants make this an ideal\ndestination for food-lovers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n So\nfar, this port city has managed to avoid the overcrowding experienced by\nDubrovnik after its role as a filming location in \u2018Game of Thrones\u2019. It offers\nstunning beaches, amazing views of the Adriatic coast and one of the biggest\nCarnival celebrations in the world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If\nyou want to go surfing in Denmark, this is the ideal place for you, with\nconsistent breaks and large swells making it a great option for both beginner\nand professional surfers. This tiny Danish town is just a short drive away from\nThy National Park, with almost one hundred square miles of pine forests, lakes,\nrugged coastlines and dunes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Portugal\nwill\nstill be one of the most popular destinations in 2021, and experiencing the country from the water is one of the best\nways to go. Take a river cruise along the Douro and stay in Porto, at recent\nhotel additions like the stunning Le Monumental Palace. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Where will you visit?<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" You\u2019re probably eager to start planning where you\u2019re going to be traveling when everything returns to normal.
