[GAME] Tourist destinations in Europe

[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 😊

Got a travel tale or two about these places? Or perhaps your listing is right in one of these locations? We'd love for you to share your experiences!

That's correct @Trini104 😊. I'm so happy to see you here! Have you been to Seville or even to Spain?

[Trini104]

I have been to Spain yes! But to Madrid and Barcelona. 
Seville is still on the bucket list!

[Margaret1283]

Is no 32 Sofia, Bulgaria?

[Paula]

Hey @Margaret1283 Welcome to our community. You are right, Sofia is #32. I have heard so many amazing things about Sofia, especially the beauty of the Alexander Nevsky Cathedral. Have you had the opportunity to visit it?

[Margaret1283]

Hi Paula, no, unfortunately I have not had the opportunity to visit the cathedral during my travels. Living in Australia everything is so far away, so overseas travel is limited. Marg

[Paula]

Hey @Margaret1283  It would be amazing if you could share some advice for people who are interested in visiting Australia. Would you like to suggest the top 3 places that we simply cannot miss when visiting for the first time?

I would be thrilled to hear your suggestions 😍

[Margaret1283]

I would have to suggest where I live, in the beautiful Adelaide Hills in South Australia! Full of wineries, beaches only 40 mins away, Adelaide (city) is only 30 mins away. Travelling north it is a lot warmer in summer, the Northern Territory has amazing sights with waterfalls and National Parks plus so much Indigenous history dating back 60,000 years! Queensland is also a beautiful place with rain forests, beaches and theme park attractions. I could go on forever! Even though we are a little further away it is so worth the visit. Come and stay a bit longer! Australia is a vast country and definitely worth exploring!

#11 - The Hague


Broke the rules sorry!! Couldn't resist to reply at least 2

[Paula]

Haha 😊, @Trini104 , !!  Let's stick with your first answer, which is The Hague👏. I haven't had the opportunity to visit this city yet. I've been to Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Eindhoven, and Tilburg. So hopefully, The Hague will be the next one for me. What about you? Do you have any fun stories from a trip to The Hague?

[Trini104]

The Netherlands is pretty awesome, I looved it there!
I travel around a bit and went to a few places from Amsterdam. I do have friends there is small towns near Amsterdam, so it was great!
A friend from high school is living in The Hague so t was a sure stop for the trip

#16-Moscow 

[Paula]

Correct @Salim117 Have you ever been to Moscow? 😊

[Lucas966]

Hello Paula I regret to inform you that I have not had the chance to visit the cathedral during my travels. As I reside in Australia the distance to other countries often restricts my ability to engage in overseas travel.  You can enjoy your vacation by having fun with free time online
