If you like silence and seclusion, you are unlikely to choose a metropolis, going on vacation. Especially when in the world there are places where the nature and life of people seem to be a continuation of each other, where the city itself seems to be imprinted in the majestic landscape and is perceived as part of it. They are so harmonious that we want today to exchange our rabid rhythm of life for the peace of one of this place.We’ve made a list of 20 cities around the Globe, where every introvert has a desire to go.
1. Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Bavaria, Germany
Garmisch-Partenkirchen is a charming town on the highest mountain in Zugspitze in Germany. Located at an altitude of 3000 meters, it once represented two settlements, one of which was founded by the Romans, and the other by the Teutons. They were united only in 1936 on the eve of the Winter Olympic Games.

Rhine is a fishing village on the picturesque Arctic peninsula of Moskenes. Only 329 people live here, but this place is recognized as the most beautiful village in all Norway.
4. Gasadalur, Faroe Islands
The mysterious chain Farer to the north of Scotland is hardly known to a wide range of tourists. For many years the islands with their steep cliffs remained difficult to access.

7. Bled, Slovenia
Covered by picturesque mountains, Bled was first mentioned in 1004. He seemed such a beautiful emperor of the Holy Roman Empire that he was presented as the greatest reward to Bishop Brixen.

9. Bibury, United Kingdom
Bibury is often called the most beautiful city in England, and not in vain. It was first mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086, and since then the town has frozen in time. Most of the houses look the same as hundreds of years ago, and the river still carries its grey waters along the shady streets of Bibury.
10. Annecy, France
