Shanghai in China is a very cultural city. China’s largest city and in fact the city with the highest population in the world. It is mainly known as the global financial hub as it serves as the most influential economic, financial, international trade, and cultural centre in East China. Its technology overtakes New York and anywhere else as it is constantly changing and upgrading in technology every day. Also, all year round, the city is full of cultural attractions such as national and regional museums, inspiring art galleries, erratic restaurants and cafes, vibrant nightlife, and of course, a diverse architecture.

One of its most famous buildings is the Oriental Pearl Tower which is easily picked out due to its unique design with huge pink spears and very tall spire. Other main attractions include Shanghai Museum, The Bund, Yu Garden and Shanghai World Financial Centre. It also has the world’s fastest train ‘the Maglev’.

Paris in France is a city overloaded with European culture. It is actually the most romantic city in the world and has a true French mood by the small streets with iconic restaurants and blissful bakeries. Paris has many beautiful collections for modern art, fashion, cinemas, film festivals, shopping and gastronomy. The city is built up of the traditional streets with wondrous architecture ranging from The Louvre to the Eiffel Tower, new and old.

Amsterdam, capital of the Netherlands, is very known for its artistic heritage, narrow houses with gabled facades and being home of the Van Gogh museum. It is popular amongst art students because of these reasons and its large amount of beautiful art galleries and museums. With that aside, it is extremely popular for cycling, and grassy parks and is also well-known for it’s canal system; the canal that runs through the city with lots of colourful boats going up and down it everyday.

Amsterdam is very cultural. The main attractions are: Rijksmuseum, Anne Frank House, Van Gogh Museum, Jordaan, Royal Palace of Amsterdam, Dam Square and more. The building’s are mostly old and traditional which means they’re more cultural. Also, the buildings and houses, especially along the river, are very erotic because they are all different shapes and sizes, colours and heights, all decorated individually. They look very stunning yet so wacky, its almost like a street from a cartoon or illustration.

Istanbul is the capital of Turkey and is a very cultural and religious, empire city. Istanbul is the world’s only transcontinental city with an amalgamation of Asian and European culture. The major cultural features in Istanbul are: The relics of antiquity, historical museum, bustling markets, medieval ruins, upmarket restaurants, and lively nightclubs. And the architecture, it is one of a kind compared to many popular cities, and this is because of it’s many castle-like temples and mosques with a mix of big and small domes and tall spires; such aesthetically pleasing architecture throughout the city. The Bosphorus Bridge is one of two bridges connecting Europe and Asia and it cannot be walked across. Istanbul also has some very colourful neighbourhoods where the buildings are bright colours like blue, yellow and pink. They connotate spring. Some of the attractions are: Hagia Sophia Museum, Topkapi Palace, Sultan Ahmed Mosque, Bosphorus bridge, and more.
