Copenhagen, Denmark. Nyhavn, which is a busy port district in the Danish capital, has always attracted the attention of passers-by with its colorful houses on both sides of the canal, as well as wooden ships that appear to be detached from pirate movies.

The blue design of the locality was introduced by the Jewish refugees in 1930, who considered the blue color as a symbol of heaven and heaven. It is also said that the blue shades of Chefchaouen helps residents to live their lives with spiritual awareness.

Do not miss the home of Tan Teng Niah, a former Chinese villa that was painted in dozens of bright hues.

Cinque Terre, Italy. The fascinating coastal area of ​​the Ligurian region, located in the northwest of Italy, is considered one of the most picturesque in the whole of Italy! And rightly so! The beautiful fishing villages that make up Cinque Terre (Manarola, Riomaggiore, Corniglia, Vernazza and Monterosso al Mare) are painted in pastel colors, dating from the early medieval period. Swim in the clean waters, wander through the olive groves and stroll along the beautiful coastal roads. Cinque Terre will definitely delight you!

Sintra, Portugal. The picturesque Portuguese town near Lisbon seems to have been taken right out of a fairytale. The mansions, castles and palaces built on the edge of the paved streets perfectly outline the image of this city with the Serra Mountains in the background.

With brightly colored buildings in yellow, green, orange and pink, with cobbled streets and a fascinating fortress dating back to the medieval period, Sighisoara is definitely a delightful destination!
