Zaragoza, Ancient Roman city in Aragon, Spain
Zaragoza extends along the banks of the Ebro River, featuring two cathedrals, Islamic architecture, and Roman archaeological remains within its central districts.
Founded as Caesaraugusta between 25 and 12 BCE, the city served as a settlement for Roman army veterans and developed into a major administrative center.
The Fiestas del Pilar in October brings thousands of participants who create flower arrangements and present regional foods to honor Saint Mary.
The city connects to Madrid and Barcelona through high-speed trains, while its local transportation system includes buses and a modern tram network.
The Aljaferia Palace stands as the only preserved fortified Islamic palace from the 11th century in northern Spain.

Traditional tapas bars line the streets of El Tubo district, and the Ebro River provides outdoor spaces.
This ranking includes the most populous cities in Europe in 2025, from Moscow with 11.62 million inhabitants to Budapest with 1.7 million. It features major European capitals like London, Berlin, Madrid, Rome, and Paris, as well as Saint Petersburg, Vienna, and Hamburg. These metropolitan areas are the continent's main demographic centers, each with its own history, architecture, and legacy. The selection is based on the municipal population of each city. Some cities surprise with their size, such as London, which covers an area fourteen times larger than Paris, or Rome, which extends over a territory twelve times greater than the French capital. Others are distinguished by their major economic roles, such as Hamburg, which hosts Germany's largest port, or by their internationally recognized quality of life, like Vienna. These destinations invite exploration of European urban diversity from east to west.
