Of Barcelona, one T+L reader said: “It has everything could want in a city - plus a gorgeous beach.” Other readers agreed, hailing the Spanish city’s “fantastic mix of city, history, and beaches.” Even Dublin, which is best known for its breweries and cobblestoned streets, was celebrated for its “friendly people, amazing culture, beaches, shopping, and fantastic food.” Ireland may not be known for sunbathing weather of swimmable waters, but its rugged coastline is just as beautiful as the better-known urban beaches of Rio de Janeiro or Sydney. We took a close look at the European cities travelers loved most, and found that many of them have knockout beaches. Readers rated cities on their sights and landmarks, culture, food, friendliness, shopping, and overall value.
