What's the best looking city/town in Europe in terms

>>69811617
Any answer other than Prague would be false

>>69811617
For some reason all towns and cities in the Danube Basin are really beautiful, they are the heartland of Europe, well, except the Romanian part, of course. ;)

>>69811617
That's kind of a loaded question because there is so many different styles of architecture, and they all look good for where they are.

Central European architecture, is a lot different from Spanish or Italian for example, and they look good for their regions climate.

I'm speaking of course for old traditional architecture not that bland, soulless, modernist shit.

THIS, comparing Rome to Paris is apples to oranges even though both are monumental cities with their fair share of marble and cast bronze sculptures. Then maybe you prefer Prague or Buda or Vienna. Then there's the picturesque small towns in a lot of different styles. Europe would be hard to narrow down to a single city.

In Europe, I've only been around the South of England and Paris.

Bath has to be the nicest city in the South though it is loaded with tourists (mostly Asian). I still haven't made it to Kent which I'm curious to see for Canterbury. I might be going to Compton, Surrey this weekend for the Watts museum and chapel. The chapel doors are pic-related. England's architecture is underrated probably because few venture out of London.

As for Paris, the Ile de la Cité is quite nice with Notre Dame and that little palace with Saint Sulpice. Versailles is amazing, but there were so many tourists that it was rather unpleasant to visit. I don't necessarily hate tourists per se, but massive crowds make for an unpleasant viewing experience.

Maybe it's the lighting, but it looks to be in disrepair. Shame to see such art crumble like that.

WW2 mostly went around us, we didn't get bombed to shit and the Prague uprising was actually succesful so most of Prague was still left standing so commies didn't have a reason to build awful shit everywhere.

Still, there are some reminders.

Don't get so defensive.

>>69812466
CE architecture is actually pretty close to Italian thanks to catholic culture. Especially the palaces and churches built in renesance and baroque. Many Italian architects built Prague.

>>69813662
Yeah, but the colors used are still different and match the setting. Plus there is still plenty of medieval and Gothic stuff around the later Renaissance and 19th century stuff.

there's nothing to repair, that's bare rock.

also that's the point of southern architecture, it looks old and ruined to begin with and you are yank as fuck for wanting it "fixed", tick to Bavarian villages.

>>69813585
I got no problem with representative buildings like Kongresove centrum, Kotva, Federalni shromáždění, Nova scena and so on. Imho these were very well done and Czech architects did a good job on these. What's ruining Czech cities and towns are poorly made commieblock areas and their urbanism. Sometimes the old cozy neighbourhoods were destroyed for awful commie blocks as in case of Přerov, Klatovy or of course Most.

I'm getting back to you a bit late. Bear in mind my opinion mostly applies to the South. I've only only been in the Midlands for a weekend in Stratford-upon-Avon, if that even counts. I'm aware of the differences between regions especially when people talk about "up North."

Why: My girlfriend's family is from here.

Do I like it: Frankly, yes. Here in the South, the weather isn't as bad as some people make it out to be. Just yesterday we had some clear skies and girls were out in their shorts. I've never had a rude encounter in the six months I've spent here on separate visits. It's God's country outside of London and even London I don't mind that much. I dislike how dense the cities are, but with that said, to get into nature one doesn't need to go very far.

People here are very general and day-to-day conversations seem to be more about exchanging pleasantries than anything particular. Lots of "how are you, my dear?" "Oh, everything is so lovely, so lovely." I like this because it slows things down a bit and is very cozy, however, I miss the sort of debate and sparring that goes on in American conversations about subjects like politics. Nonetheless, I can see why friendships here seem to be longer lasting than they are in the US. If you talk about nothing, there's nothing to lose.

Each country/region has its own specific architectural style, so it depends on what you prefer. There's beauty to be found everywhere.

Personally I love Amsterdam the most when it comes to architecture. The variety, scale, preservation and history of the city is quite unique. Most of the city center hasn't changed a bit for 400/500 years.

Absolute right age. It's a three years (paid, of course) apprenticeship to learn a job. Look it up on Wikipedia and on the website of the German embassy, I am very sure you fulfill the requirements. Or just call the German embassy and ask them to send you information.

You don't pay for education in Germany.
Apprenticeship in Germany regularly takes three years.
You'll work about 2/3 of your time in a company and get paid for it, of course. 1/3 of your time you'll spend in the Berufsschule (job school) to learn the theoretic.
Like I said, just look it up on the internet or simply call the embassy

I remember having grills from Venezuela in a Dutch speaking class who were fluent in 8 months or so. Although sometimes I did have a laugh when they used some odd expressions or didn't know slang.

In the Netherlands we often shorten bibliotheek to bib for example. And then they didn't know what a bib was.
And instead of eindexamen she said finale examen.
And so on.

>>69820642
No, foreigners also don't pay for education.
Many, but not all, companies have student housing. If they don't you look for an own apartment.

I am sure you'll find an answer for that on the website of the German embassy.
I have met several Americans so far that made an Ausbildung in Germany, but I missed to ask this question. Goethe-Institut e.g. is a good way to learn German outside of Germany, but there are several other German language institutes

But surely Germany isn't the only country where you could go, like Westerbur here said >>69820810 I am sure that in the Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden etc apprenticeship also is of a high standard

>Germany gave bullshit excuses saying they couldn't afford to rebuild using traditional architecture, but fucking commie pols were apparently able to.

Well, there was some time in between 1945 and 2015. Back then people just needed a place to live, fast and cheap. I mean nearly all buildings where at least damaged.
Right now we also still reconstruct some old stuff. For example Stadtschloss Berlin or the Pellerhaus in Nürnberg.

>>69820102
Good taste.

Granted, I am not as well travelled as some of you might be but I have been around Central Europe/Northwestern Europe quite a bit and for me it is easily Bruges.

Bruges is cosy and clean and comfortable. Even whilst being a tourist trap you can easily find yoursef walking around empty canal streets feeling an intimate visceral connection with the place.I found it remained rather calm and slow-paced even for being such an attraction and this helped with giving me time to appreciate the city. Of course the fact that many of the buildings have been kept as they would have looked hundreds of years ago is a huge boost.

I got engaged on a boat in Bruges (as you do) so this probably colours my opinion as well.

>>69821363
>Of course the fact that many of the buildings have been kept as they would have looked hundreds of years ago is a huge boost.
In the Netherlands we always bash Belgium for having badly maintained cities.

>>69821435
I feel like this is largely true of Walloonie (where I lived) but I found Flanders to be overall more 'put together' apart from Gent and Antwerpen. Well, I think Antwerpen was alright but Gent had construction going on everywhere which obstructed a lot of shots I was trying to take so that was annoying. It's not a very pretty city anyway though.

Brugge was a highlight mostly because my North American ass was happy to find there was only one 'modern' building that I saw the entire time I was there. I can't speak for the actual infrastructure of the town being any good.

Flanders was also muuuuuuuuuch cleaner though. But dude, I distinctly remember going to Amsterdam and that place being just dirty as fuck. I mean, Amsterdam is probably the only city in Europe I would move to tomorrow because the food was really good, the people are fun, and everyone spoke English flawlessly, but there was garbage on the side of the street piled high everywhere. This was during the World Cup so maybe that did it? Or maybe there was a strike, not sure but it was a surprise.

>>69821267
>Lindau was in my list
>Because of shitty weather we went to sone meh-tier place instead
This is not fair

>>69821109
I'm having trouble find an answer on the website, tons of links to different things.

Do you know how long a course is to learn German generally?

>>69821868
Amsterdam has terrible waste management. In my city we have underground containers where you put your waste in, but in Amsterdam you put bags on the side of the street at set days. Plus in Amsterdam you have occasional strikes by garbagemen. And you have big events that leave a huge mess.

And it doesn't help that the city is flooded by (drug) tourists, of which no one feels responsible to keep the place tidy of course.

>>69822203
So Amsterdam is a bit of a mixed bag. Sometimes it's very clean. But other times it's an embarrassment.

>>69822203
>>69822243
Yeah, I figured it was a combination of different things that contributed to that. I had friends that went at a different time and they didn't really make any remarks about the garbage during their visit.

>>69813842
Not so much. There a few bits like that but with the exception of one small area on the edge of the New Town (and just off Princes Street) they're mostly hidden away and obscure and unimposing. It's easily the most beautiful large city in the UK (Bath and Cheltenham also have fine, Georgian, architecture, but are much smaller places).

My favourite capital city must be Budapest, for both Buda and Pest.

Capitals apart, there are quite a few smaller towns in Italy that stand out for me, including Mantova, Orvieto and the Baroque paradise of Lecce.

>the ratio of traditional architecture to brutalism is unusually high for former communist Europe.

The commies didn't just raze cities and build their own shit did they? No. No they didn't.

East Berlin has lots of commie shit because they were bombed to shit in the war. So the commies had to build new stuff in that half of the city.

Go to somewhere like Bratislava and you will see *examples* of commie architecture (like the inverted pyramid building - google it if you want to see a horrible piece of architecture), but most of the city is still lovely old stuff that's been built there over the centuries. See pic related - shitty commie UFO bridge, but with the lovely old central European churches and shit in the background.

Remember that commie brutalism is only a very small section of history - about 40 years from 1950 to 1990.

>>69828713

Firstly, it was Prussian for 125 years, moron

Secondly, that was the period of time that Posen developed the most, so really most of the architecture can be attributed to the Prussians

Thirdly, regardless of who ruled, my point was that his picture is hardly representative since it shows the city just after being bombed to shit, is it now?

Fuck off

>>69828776
Did they? I don't think they did it en masse in any of the countries I've been to, especially since so much old architecture is standing. Why would they tear down historical old buildings?

No it developed the most in Poland during its Golden Age.

No fucker, it was still in majority Polish during the partitions and throughout its whole history and its local Polish citizens contributed to its further development as well, same thing in Lwów.

What are you talking about ?
You need no german language if you are form some special states, like the us.

I'm working in a german immigration office.

People from the usa are allowed to visit german without visa and they can get there permission without problems. We call this people "Positivstaater". It means that people from some friendly States (which usualy made no troubles, like the us, canada, israel australia, newzealand for example, listed in EU-Visakodex, edict of the EU No. 810/2009, annex II) are welcome to visit germany and also welcome to live in germany. Citizens of the USA can take every job here. Some big companys in europe use english as corporate language.

Only for studying you may need some german language. But there are some study path in english too. Visit the websites of german universities.

It might be useful for shopping and its easier to learn then any other european language.
