I've traveled to every capital city in Europe. There are 5 I'd go back to in a heartbeat, and 3 I'd skip next time.
Briefly

As a dedicated full-time traveler, I have explored every European capital and noticed distinct differences in my experiences. Surprisingly, I found myself drawn back to Bucharest, Lisbon, Athens, and Vilnius for their unique character and unforgettable moments. However, despite their popularity and historical significance, I was less impressed by London, Amsterdam, and Helsinki, as they did not meet my expectations for a rewarding travel experience. This reflection on my journey reveals that not every city has the allure that keeps me wanting to return.
Traveling extensively across Europe has allowed me to discover my favorite capital cities based on culture, experiences, and unique offerings. Bucharest's vibrancy, Lisbon's charm, Athens' history, and Vilnius' beauty have captivated me, making them top destinations for my return trips.
Some cities, like London and Amsterdam, despite their iconic status, haven't resonated with me as much as I expected. Their crowded streets and high costs can detract from the travel experience I seek.
