Can't travel to Europe any time soon? Go to Seattle, a city that gives European vibes in several ways, as we'll explore.

Last year on a flight back from Vegas, I snapped a photo of Seattle from the air. It's a glorious photo and it kinda makes me think of a European city from above.

 

A city can feel "European" if it's:

  • Walkable
  • Has a subway or light rail system
  • Incredible architecture
  • Access to high fashion and top name brands
  • Located near a huge river or body of water

 

Seattle fits the bill, although I can't quite pinpoint which European city it reminds me of because it looks like a mixture of several.

It reminds me of someplace!
