For travelers, the key role is most often played by the vacation spot, its characteristics and features, rather than the name. In this case, the principle “it’s not the name that makes the place beautiful, but the place that makes the name” applies, and in connection with this we often fall in love with the names of those cities in which we had the best time. Beautiful city names are most often found in Europe; they are pleasant and melodious to our ears. But many Russian settlements also fall into this category, the names of which sound charming in our native language.
Romanesque museum cities
It is believed that the most beautiful names cities of the world are concentrated in historical region, in the Mediterranean. It is noteworthy that this region is located between two parts of the world - Europe and Asia, and all settlements, which have ever been here or are still here, have very beautiful names. Many cities of the former Roman Empire have survived to this day. Among them are Rome, Florence, Venice. Along with them, we can highlight very beautiful names of regions: Liguria, Tuscany, Sicily. A delight for the ears, don't you agree?
Italy's neighbor, Greece, also has beautiful names of cities that are located on its territory. These are Athens, Kallithea, Heraklion. It is noteworthy that, in addition to the most beautiful names, these settlements managed to preserve architectural monuments of stunning beauty on their territories. You can admire them forever, and gradually they will become synonymous with the names of cities.
Ancient East - sophistication and beauty
It’s surprising that beautiful names were much more sweet in the Middle East. Firstly, it is the center of the birth of the Akkadian civilization. Several centuries later, it was replaced by the majestic Nineveh. In the south of the same Mesopotamia was located the king of all powers of that time - Babylon with its famous tower, which has not yet been excavated from the golden sands. On the territory of Egypt, two megacities with beautiful names can be distinguished - Memphis and Alexandria. In present-day Turkey, which once bore the names of Anatolia and Cappadocia (also very attractive names to the ear), there was legendary city Troy, famous for its history with the wooden horse.
Well, Syria has such beautiful city names as Damascus, Alalakh, Amarna and others. It is noteworthy that most of the above names have survived to this day. An exception can be considered Memphis, which changed its name to the no less beautiful one - Cairo.
Spain is a modern storehouse of uniqueness
The country, located in the southwest of the European continent, is famous for having beautiful city names. We will not list them, but will only go through the most famous ones, which are unique not only for their sound, but also for their architecture.
It’s probably worth starting your trip to Spain from Catalonia, where the metropolis of Barcelona is located. This name has been thundering throughout the world for many centuries and appears either in the creative sphere of life, or in sports, or in tourism.
Below is Valencia, and regions stretch even closer to the south. Among the cities of this country, one can distinguish a complex but very beautiful name - La Manga del Mar Menor. It is important to note that Spanish colonization caused the spread of this culture to more vast territories. Thus, beautiful city names that are pronounced and written in this language can be found in Mexico, Colombia, Argentina and many other countries.
Distant and mysterious North
The names of Scandinavian settlements are also recognized as the most beautiful. It is important to note that Romano-Germanic and Finno-Ugric peoples coexist on this peninsula, so the names of local geographical units are fundamentally different. The city of Stockholm is filled with severity and grandeur. Along with it are Östersund, Malmö, Skellefteå and Sundsvall. Finland is famous for the famous cities of Helsinki, Viitasaari, Tornio, Rovaniemi and Nilsiä. The most important thing is that in many settlements of these cold countries, even in the smallest ones, the primitive traditions and culture of these peoples have been preserved, which gives them even more charm and charm.
Surprise of the new century - South Africa and its assets
Who would have thought that in the vastness of southern point The African continent will grow into real urban jungles that will bear beautiful names. Among the cities that are more reminiscent of America with their panoramas, we highlight Johannesburg, Cape Town, Pretoria, Port Elizabeth and East London. These settlements owe these unique names to the synthesis of local dialects and in English, which appeared here after British colonization.
Russia and its uniqueness
For our compatriots, the most beautiful are the names of Russian cities and mainly the native one, which is unique and individual in every letter.
St. Petersburg - ancient and incredible beautiful city.
Remote megacities also have beautiful names: Vladivostok, Yekaterinburg, Astrakhan, Arkhangelsk, Kaliningrad. We can say with complete confidence that in Russia there are many more places, regions and cities with beautiful names, but it is simply impossible to list them in one article.
