[Paula]

Hi everyone 👋

This week, we're jet-setting across Europe in a game exploring some of its most iconic cities and must-visit spots. 🔥

Here's how it works - we've scattered clues for you below. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to decipher these hints and drop the name of the location in the comments. Heads up 🙌 the map number is a nifty guide to the whereabouts of the city/place, but it might not be pinpoint accurate. To keep the game fair and fun, let's stick to one guess per comment 😊

34 - Happened to Antonio Gaudì in Barcelona. 🙁

[Quincy]

Correct! @Till-and-Jutta0  - have you been to Barcelona? 

[Till-and-Jutta0]

Well, @Quincy, because part of my family lives in Catalonia, from time to time we come through the Capital. And we took the chance to visit Gaudì's great artworks. So we've heard about this tragic end.

And our beloved @Norma17 lived in Barcelona 😍.

Hello @Paula 

Well  I have to answer question #12 as my apartment is in this town and it's a really important event for all Airbnb hosts! The answer is of course Cannes🤗

[Paula]

That's absolutely right, dear @Joelle43  😊 I'm really interested to know how this festival has been enhancing your hosting journey. I can only imagine the wonderful experiences you must be having during this season in Cannes. Have you noticed an influx of people from particular countries traveling to Cannes?

By the way, this film festival is at the very top of my travel bucket list! 😍

[Joelle43]

Hello @Paula 

This is only my third year hosting but every year I have welcomed people from  different countries and origins, some producers some not.  A different kind of traveller to the ones I host during the summer months but just as enjoyable.

I never venture into Cannes during the Festival as most of the roads are cordoned off and security is very tight but this year was a bumper year for American celebs attending so that was great for the adoring fans!

You're very welcome to try out my place when you decide to come😊

[Laurelle3]

@Paula is no 1 Oslo Norway. 

No,  I haven't been to Oslow but called into the port of Kristiansand on a cruise to Northern Europe for a taste of Norway.

[Paula]

@Laurelle3 That's correct. I've actually heard about the breathtaking Scandinavian cruise you mentioned. The landscapes you get to witness on that journey are truly awe-inspiring. I'm curious, is there a particular landscape that stands out in your memory?

Have you visited any of the other places mentioned in the game? Feel free to guess another one if you'd like 😊

[LaWanna0]

Is number 2 Amsterdam

[Paula]

Hi, @LaWanna0 ! That's correct. I want to mention one place from your previous answer: Amsterdam. Have you ever been there? When I went, I was amazed by the countless bicycles I saw everywhere. It was so much fun!🎉

[Kamal139]

15 is Prague 

[Paula]

Hello, @Kamal139  Welcome to our Community 😊

In order to keep the game going and maintain the spirit of the rules, I left one guess in your comment. Have you had the chance to explore the enchanting city of Prague? If so, I'd love to hear any fun and memorable stories you have from your time there.

I'm excited to hear more about your experience!

[Paula]

Hello @Antonia499 and Welcome to our Community Center🎉

The clue for place #31 hints towards a location in Ireland. Do you happen to have the specific city in mind? 😊
