When travelling abroad it’s important to get a culture fix too! Here are the best city museums in Europe you need to visit when heading abroad…

Travelling is one of life’s biggest adventures. Waking up in a new city, dipping your feet into the new culture, perhaps new language and of course making the memories and building up a large collection of Instagram worthy photos. Travel is good for the mind and the body, and mixing a little bit of art into your trip is also beneficial. Art galleries are such quiet peaceful places and often very inspirational, much like the ones you remember on school trips! Here are our best city Museums in Europe for your culture fix…

The Louvre, Paris 

Paris is the city of love, culture, beauty and art, making it an unmissable choice in our list of best city Museums in Europe. The Louvre is home to the ever so famous Mona Lisa painting of course, and it is a museum that is jam packed full of incredible pieces of art so luscious and magical that you will leave feeling so inspired and probably incredibly fulfilled. From modern art to the renaissance period, The Louvre has it all. It is the world’s most visited museum and this is incredibly pleasing for a culture lover like myself, because The museum itself does become busy, so getting an early start may be a good bet if you do not want long queues and busy halls inside. 

Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam 

Amsterdam, as you probably know is the home of Van Gogh and a well known city for its art culture and its artistic flair; from galleries to shops and artwork in the streets, Holland is truly a place of art. At its core, it represents beauty, culture and freedom. The Van Gogh museum is a brilliant place to start if this is your type of art, however the Rijksmuseum has a much broader spectrum of artwork that would be better suited to art lovers. 

Vatican Museums, Rome

Rome is the city of ancient history so it’s no surprise it features in our list of best city Museums in Europe. Every inch of Rome is seeped in history and therefore its Vatican Museums follow suit and home some incredible pieces of art. This gallery is not just paintings but is famous for its sculptures, including Renaissance art and of course paying homage to Pablo Picasso. The interior of the museum itself is well worth a visit, with stunning architecture. Its entry is €5 per ticket, which is well worth it for the art is houses and also for the building itself.  

Tate Modern

Based in the heart of London, you can visit Tate Modern at a price of £25.00 (at its highest price, they vary). Inside you will find some pieces from Andy Warhol and more recent artists who have created and brought to life modern art in a way we did not think possible. Impressionism is also a big hit in London, so you will see many unusual and creative pieces. 

Acropolis Museum, Athens

Athens is a very underrated city; beauty and culture all in one with history around every corner and the Acropolis Museum is a must-see for those in the city.  The museum focuses heavily on science, with sculptures, findings from the city including rock formations and much more that is integral to the history of the city. Entry is €20 euros and €10 during winter. To experience the true history of Athens and what it represents, this museum is a must-see.
