Old European Streets' Charm




I'm thankful for the charmingly narrow old European streets. We don't have those in Moscow, so I guess it makes it so much easier to appreciate them, but I do, and definitely like taking pictures of them too!

  1. I love the narrow streets in Europe... Aside from the aesthetic value, it's easy to navigate the small streets by foot.

  2. Gets a little claustrophobic too if the street happens to be too crowded hehe But I agree, I love walking so always happy when presented with such an opportunity!

  3. I miss those streets.
    Especially in Venice, where it felt like a labyrinth with tiny bridges.

  5. PS... I was outside tonight thinking, "I'm thankful for stargazing. It always makes me feel so full of life." Just thought this would be a good place to share that.

  7. I love the charm of European streets as well! We definitely don't have many of these in the US, which I find very unfortunate. I lived in a little town in Germany for a year, and it had some beautiful streets in it, just like your pictures. Where did you visit?

  8. The first picture's taken in Milan, Italy, the second and the third are both taken in Barcelona, Spain!

    Where in Germany did you live?

  9. I've never been to Italy, but Barcelona is a beautiful city!
    In Germany, I lived in a little hilltop town called Cronenberg which was part of the city Wuppertal. You have probably never heard of it... nobody has! haha it's near Düsseldorf though. :)

  10. Isn't it funny that I've heard of Cronenberg, but not of Wuppertal? :) And I definately know Düsseldorf! Have never been to Germany, by the way. Would like to see Munich.

  11. They definitely don't have many of those in the States, which is a shame.

  12. But also a blessing, Shannon! having your apartment's windows open right into another person's apartment's windows can be a little... intimidating? lol

  13. In Italy some of our old little cities are entirely made of narrow streets.

    Mostly in Tuscany (near Florence, Siena, Lucca) where I was born.
