Europe’s Most Idyllic Places To Live

If you would like to enjoy idyll, peace and relaxation without the crowds, than you need to visit one of the top ten most idyllic European cities, proposed by Forbes.

Enough will be already, if you drive to Bled 🙂

Forbes ranked Europe’s 10 Most Idyllic Places To Live by collating the top picks of a panel of six experts in the fields of travel and relocation, including Charles Smith, U.K. manager of Sotheby’s International; Patricia Schultz, author of 1,000 Places To See Before You Die; Lucy White, editor of European titles for Rough Guides; Gillian Pearsall, marketing manager at Intrepid Travel; several relocation experts at relocation firm County Homesearch; and Amber Medkiff, a travel director at agency Travcoa.

Some the top picks, like Patmos in Greece or Pietrasanta in Italy will seem unfamiliar–but it also means they’re not overrun with tourists, which adds to their simple charm.
