The best cities in Europe to visit on your first trip

Your first trip to Europe means new experiences, new currencies and possibly new languages. These cities are the best for getting started.

What makes a city a great pick for your first time in Europe? Famous wonders of the world, great art museums and impeccable food are all table stakes. But there are a few other things worth considering before you decide on a spot.

Traveling to Europe for the first time is a big experience, but it doesn’t have to be overwhelming. It will always be simpler to navigate a city that speaks the language you know, and many major European cities double as tourist hubs where English is common (though learning a handful of key phrases is always a good idea). These destinations are usually a bit easier to reach by air as well — you’re far more likely to get an affordable direct flight to Paris than Tallinn.
