Travelling to different cities and countries can be a very interesting cultural experience. In this diversity, travellers can notice the difference in food consumption culture, the peculiarities of preparing simple foods in a completely different way, or the taste preferences in different countries.

Travelling in Europe can help you to get a certain impression of the countries and look into their essence through the prism of what they eat. As you know, we are what we eat. The Daily Express shared 10 cities on the European continent that are worthy of the attention of gourmets from all over the world.

It is noted that the top 10 places were identified during a study by Solo Female Travellers Tours, a travel company that deals only with women.

Paris, France

Paris has long been known as the capital of delicious, varied food. In addition, it should not be forgotten that most confectionery dishes were invented in France. Therefore, it is not surprising that there are many Michelin-starred restaurants in the country's capital. Thus, Paris boasts an index of 74.69, receiving the highest score out of 10 in this top.

Florence, Italy

The selection includes many Italian places. And this is not surprising as Italian cuisine is considered one of the most popular in the world.

Florence is an open-air museum city that is the capital of Tuscany. It received an index of 70.39 and the highest score in a number of categories. Thus, if you come here, be sure to try a local delicacy that is suitable for vegetarians: tagliatelle pasta with porcini mushrooms and truffle sauce.

Rome, Italy

Rome received an index of 67.12 and 9.99 for the number of restaurants in the city. Thus, the Italian capital leaves tourists no choice and forces them to try everything this region is famous for. It's easy to find really good places here, and you'll find something unusual at every turn.

Dublin, Ireland

Dublin is a really great choice with an index of 61.57. There are many good pubs and restaurants, as well as unique hospitality that makes you come back here again and again.

Bologna, Italy

Bologna took fifth place with an index of 61.36. In addition to the amazing architecture, tourists in Bologna can enjoy delicious food, as well as visit any of the bars and pubs on offer.

Amsterdam, the Netherlands

Amsterdam is extremely vegan-friendly, and therefore there are many great restaurants to choose from. The capital of the Netherlands scored a 60.09 index and is ranked 6th in the overall list.

Milan, Italy

Milan came in seventh place with an index of 59.08. There is definitely something for tourists to do and where to stay to try the local delicacies. In particular, tourists can try delicious drinks on the canal bank in the Navigli district and traditional Italian dishes right in the city centre.

Barcelona, Spain

Milan received an index of 59.00 among tourists. However, Milan remained one of the first among restaurants specializing in healthy eating.

Naples, Italy

Naples is the fifth and last Italian city to appear on this list. Naples is known not only for being the birthplace of pizza. It also received a high score of 7.42 for the number of restaurants offering coffee.

Madrid, Spain

Madrid took the last place with an index of 56.26, but this does not affect its gastronomic opportunities. There are many restaurants that will appeal to millions of gourmets from all over the world.
