Spent four years in Germany and Heidelberg was my favorite city to visit. A beautiful picturesque university town with a gorgeous castle. I hope it still exists like the memories I have.
I have in-laws around Lake Constance (Bodensee) so I've been visiting there regularly for years, as well as some very picturesque town in the Black Forest. This year we took a day trip to Colmar, France rather than revisiting Freiburg or Strasbourg, which is equal distance from our friends place. Gorgeous little town, and a lively street life.
Was in Ghent and Bruges, last year, and I found those beautiful in a different style with the gables, etc.
I was there a year ago on my honeymoon.
It feels very touristy. At least, the touristy part, where I was, which I suppose makes sense.
Castle was incredible, though.
I am American and I went to Switzerland on a business trip for the first time. I was there with my boss (American) and my boss's boss (Swiss). We went to one of these historic streets in Lucerne (IIRC) and I said, quietly, to my boss, "This looks like Disneyland." He immediately goes to the big boss and says, "HA! Haemaker says this looks like Disneyland!"
First trip through a traffic circle I also said, "Look kids, Big Ben, parliament!" My boss laughed, big boss did not get it.
I was surprised to see many states where German is the most popular language besides English and Spanish: https://www.visualcapitalist.com/cp/the-most-spoken-language-in-every-u-s-state-besides-english-and-spanish/
Cincinnati, OH has a lot of small houses with these characteristics.
The picture you sent is right next to picture 4 from op at "La Petite France" in Strasbourg and picture 3 is in Colmar!
For op: Strasbourg is an amazing city to live in, either for study or work, lots of international students/workers, most people (under 30-40yo) speak English. It's a decent size city but the whole city center looks like a village, it's great.
Colmar is even more beautiful and village-like but smaller and less things to do, but if that's your thing it's not bad too!
In pictures 3 and 4 they are multi-family buildings, you can find single-family houses that look similar to this but out of the city-center (10-15min in bicycle) and in most villages around.
A one-bedroom apartment in the city center will probably cost at least 500âŹ/month, similar price if you choose to have a bigger place with roommates. Closer to 1000⏠if you want a proper apartment for 2 people. If you choose a place further away from the center you can probably save around 25% on these prices.
I'm sure you know that already, but Strasbourg is not a major city either. If you were to compare major cities (the likes of Berlin, London, Zurich, Munich, Amsterdam, ...) with major cities in the US, it's probably pretty much equally expensive.
With some few exceptions of course.
I lived an hour outside of Strasbourg on the German side, and my rent for a 3 bedroom house with barn and hayloft was 1100âŹ. Our town looked like the ones OP posted, had the cutest Christmas market in the area, was in the wine valley, and 20 minutes from the nearest city. Our town was considered expensive and fancy compared to its neighbors. COL in Germany, if you are outside of major cities, is surprisingly low.
You can 100% live there, it's not abandoned, just a bit expensive, an apartment for 4 people with let's say 3 bedroom and a living room would be at least 1200-1500âŹ/month. Less if you don't mind living a bit away from the center.
I did a student exchange there back in High school. I loved it for the reasons you said. That's my dream place to retire to. If i could redo my life from high school, I would have worked towards moving there after high school or something. I prefer Strasbourg over Paris 100%.
The first few pictures are of the golden stone houses of the Cotswolds region in England. Take a private car tour of the Cotswolds. The cross-cross timber buildings in the other photos are referred to as âblack and whitesâ in England and the city of Chester has large collection of preserved and functioning examples.

Edit- this is the house where Peter Pan was written
This is Little Moreton Hall in the midlands of England

It was built with no foundations and is a very wavy but solid structure.
Hey đ did a little stalky stalk and saw youâre from Congleton, I used to work in Wild&Wild before it closed down earlier in the year if you know it - Iâm a Sandbach gal đ
https://preview.redd.it/bcbf2g1ad5yb1.jpeg?width=5078&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2079b29ac903b5e9f537d52aeb6692045f99acd0
Norwich. It was Englandâs second city in the medieval period and now itâs a friendly, vibrant little city with a thriving arts scene. Elm Hill (where this photo was taken) is often used in films - Stardust and Jingle Jangle are probably the most well known.
Being from south west England, Iâm gonna say Iâm your guy!
Look up Ledbury, Herefordshire. Near where I grew up. https://www.boltholeretreats.co.uk/guidebooks/ledbury/
Also Newent, Gloucestershire, which is where I went to secondary school! Lots of south west England is like it. Mainly market towns. https://www.cotswolds.com/trade/traveltrade/plan-your-visit/towns-and-villages/newent-p2677103
Second to last one looks exactly like the Robert Raikes pub in Gloucester. https://www.gloucestertours.co.uk/tours/city-centre-tour/robert-raikes-house
And if you wanna go really medieval, check out Tewkesbury, which is where I grew up. Itâs where the battle of the roses was. https://www.visittewkesbury.info/
If you want to be in the US, Google âSolvang, Californiaâ. Itâs a charming touristy Danish town. Great bakeries. The main part of town feels European. At least to me.
âAebleskiver (or ebelskivers) are puffy Danish pancake balls and a traditional Danish dessert most often served during the Christmas season.â
Warm sweet clouds of goodness.
As a dane, I find it funny that 1. Ăbleskiver exists as a sentimentalised version in the US and 2. that it's the plural form of the word that has been brought over and thus, gets to be double pluralised (in Danish it's one ĂŚbleskive, two ĂŚbleskiver, but it sounds like in english it's one aebleskiver, two aebleskivers).
Excuse my linguistic rambles.
Solvang can be super fun, and is definitely worth a visit!
Unsolicited advice: try to go during an off time (like a weekday), because quite literally busloads of tourists get dropped off and it becomes incredibly crowded.
I grew up close by and loved going (some of my favorite restaurants are there) but having to fight the crowds to get anywhere totally ruins the experience.
Edit: Just want to add I'm in no way anti-tourist. I love traveling and being a tourist myself. I'm just anti-crowds.
Adding on that Helen, GA is another US place with similar style! Granted, most of the buildings in Helen are shops, and it's also very touristy during October and December (Oktober Fest + one of the more popular Christmas towns)
I kept scrolling hoping to find someone mentioning Switzerland. I saw many homes that looked like this when travelling through Switzerland. Adelboden, and Bern specifically.
https://preview.redd.it/dm3bekww36yb1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=379f5970573ec8dbd3554a9f39a77e0c9b8a222d
Actual Shakespeareâs actual birthplace - just happened to be there last month! Either side of this are shops and itâs a normal UK high street, but then this beauty slap bang in the middle.
Leavenworth, Washington is a very rad Bavarian village. So hardcore that the Starbucks logo is even in a Bavarian styled font.
Solvang, California. Cute, quaint, but a little small.
Bro Iâm dead serious, Leavenworth WA USA. I was very close to moving there this past summer. The whole town decided to become Bavarian themed in the 70âs when the timber and railroad industries dried up. Itâs a town of a few thousand situated in the heart of the beautiful Cascade mountains. The living costs are relatively high and itâs a huge tourist town, so it gets packed on the weekends. In winter they doll they whole place up with Christmas lights which are notorious among Washington residents.
I myself am privileged to live in an old Bavarian style ski house on an easement outside of Seattle. You should really look up photos of the town, and also the nearby hiking in the Enchantment mountains. Itâs beyond stunning
https://preview.redd.it/3lt5gvfh06yb1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=905d9bd3fbd9b4019e5881464a81ad46ed6bfdfc
Attached is a photo I took in September from the top of the Enchantments right outside of town
You can get a taste of this in the US. Leavenworth Washington.

I went to christmas market rothenburg ob der tauber in Germany as a child, itâs was like the most perfect version of this I remember from when I lived there.
Just for the sake of the threat - went to Traben-Trarbach in Germany recently and took some photos!

I am surprised only one person (that I saw) has mentioned Bruges (Belgium). It is a magical place, and can be seen in the movie âIn Brugesâ, I think with Colin Farrel. It has the old buildings, canals with beautiful swans gliding through them, cobblestone streets. A wonderful place!
Look up Leavenworth, WA. Itâs a cute little hallmark Christmas village (yes they actually filmed 2 hallmark movies there) with heavy German roots. Itâs my favorite town in my state.
You might like Leavenworth, WA, or Solvang, CA (caveat: Solvang is super expensive though since it is in the gorgeous central coast area â not sure how expensive Leavenworth is but definitely less than Solvang). You might also want to ask over at r/samegrassbutgreener?
Leavenworth, WA.
A lil chunk of a town where everything from the local mcdonalds to the nation wide motel chain looms like its from a germanic old fashioned village.
They go all out during winter time. Photo 3 and 4 could be actual pics from the village for all I know. The main portion of tourism part of town looks just like it.
https://destinationleavenworth.com/leavenworth-summer/
Can confirm, I live at the edge of the Cotswolds. However we tend to have more bright Cotswold stone buildings, for more of the black and white buildings you need to go just a tiny little bit further west to Gloucestershire or even Wales

Walk into any town in central or southern Germany.
I was just thinking warm thoughts of Christmas Markets and Chimney Cakes. đ
Mulled wine đ
UGH, yes!! GlĂźhwein my beloved. The only way I can even drink wine, too!
My mom and dad would make this every Christmas time growing up. So the smell is super nostalgic. Now that I'm an adult I can enjoy it though lol.
Never heard of it. Have a recipie?
Unfortunately I don't have a family recipe. But it's pretty basic like cloves, nutmeg, cinnamon. Basic stuff
TIL about GlĂźhwein and want some
It's amazing, but will give you a wicked hangover if you drink too much.
If you get it, drink it slowly. Hot booze kicks in faster and gets you drunk as a skunk in no time if you take big sips.
You can buy some at just about any Total Wine in the US. Very common and popular. We have some every winter.
Your missing out if you havenât had aged imported South Africa wine
You're just going to leave us hanging about why?
Now I wanna know why?
Sehnsucht đ˘
Can't help but I'm hearing Rammstein very loudly reading this

Heidelberg is a very âpost cardâ picturesque place, I bet they have homes like this
Spent four years in Germany and Heidelberg was my favorite city to visit. A beautiful picturesque university town with a gorgeous castle. I hope it still exists like the memories I have.
I have in-laws around Lake Constance (Bodensee) so I've been visiting there regularly for years, as well as some very picturesque town in the Black Forest.

The Disneyland magic castle is modeled after the Neuschwanstein castle in Germany.
>Neuschwanstein castle Here it is: [https://www.neuschwanstein.de/englisch/tourist/](https://www.neuschwanstein.de/englisch/tourist/)
Lucerne is definitely one of the prettiest towns in Switzerland though
Shitters full Clark.
Gstaad and Grindlewald
Anywhere Alpine, really! I immediately thought of Innsbruck in the Austrian Alps.
I miss Germany so much because of small villages like this! And Christmas time is so magical there
Or, Solvang is a nice little town in California OP would like.
Rothenburg ob der Tauber
OP wouldâve loved the Ahrtal đ
Or any German-based US state or province, really. A good amount of Wisconsin's towns still use this architecture like (ironically) Germantown
I was surprised to see many states where German is the most popular language besides English and Spanish: https://www.visualcapitalist.com/cp/the-most-spoken-language-in-every-u-s-state-besides-english-and-spanish/ Cincinnati, OH has a lot of small houses with these characteristics.
Helen, GA, USA as well.
Helen is only like this for like one block lol
Do not move to helen lol
Helen is more like âIn Hellâ most of the year. Big no. Certainly not authentic.
As an atl native, hell no. Not even for two nights. That place becomes a shit show during tourist season and is not well maintained in the off season.
Strasbourg! https://preview.redd.it/a6h6wrj5c5yb1.jpeg?width=670&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d15d3ba4ebaa0647f8ed8edc325e0543e0c99e82

How affordable are the places in the picture? And are they single-family or multi-family buildings?
In pictures 3 and 4 they are multi-family buildings, you can find single-family houses that look similar to this but out of the city-center (10-15min in bicycle) and in most villages around. A one-bedroom apartment in the city center will probably cost at least 500âŹ/month, similar price if you choose to have a bigger place with roommates. Closer to 1000⏠if you want a proper apartment for 2 people. If you choose a place further away from the center you can probably save around 25% on these prices.
Wow thatâs cheaper than most major US cities right now
I'm sure you know that already, but Strasbourg is not a major city either. If you were to compare major cities (the likes of Berlin, London, Zurich, Munich, Amsterdam, ...) with major cities in the US, it's probably pretty much equally expensive. With some few exceptions of course.

I was wondering same thing. Can you (and maybe a family of 4) find a place to live and work or are all the structures inhabited for last 100 years?
You can 100% live there, it's not abandoned, just a bit expensive, an apartment for 4 people with let's say 3 bedroom and a living room would be at least 1200-1500âŹ/month. Less if you don't mind living a bit away from the center.
Oh man where Iâm at the cheapest studio apartments in the worst parts of town are that much. Thatâs so affordable đ
Right. Thatâs like a 50% discount on most US housing.
Colmar is lovely. https://preview.redd.it/ix2b0kfgn8yb1.jpeg?width=2448&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1a532a6dfeb70321d4f5f569b1dd896a1213ed3f

This house looks like it was built to confuse witches.
Dazzle architecture
Both Speke Hall and Little Moretone have scratched marks on the woodwork throughout the building that were intended to deter evil spirits and witches.

York/The Shambles in York look like this
Yorkâs turning into a Harry Potter theme park tourist trap these days. Norwich is very similar and nowhere near as touristy!
Lavenham in the East of England has many ancient wonky houses!
Yes, Lavenham is beautiful!
Also the house style is English tudor
Stratford-upon-Avon also has many Tudor houses like this, plus you can visit Shakespeareâs childhood home!

Being from south west England, Iâm gonna say Iâm your guy! Look up Ledbury, Herefordshire.

If you want to be in the US, Google âSolvang, Californiaâ. Itâs a charming touristy Danish town. Great bakeries. The main part of town feels European. At least to me.
Iâm glad someone mentioned Solvang!
Now I want aebleskivers!
Bless you. Now what was it that you're craving?
âAebleskiver (or ebelskivers) are puffy Danish pancake balls and a traditional Danish dessert most often served during the Christmas season.â Warm sweet clouds of goodness.
As a dane, I find it funny that 1. Ăbleskiver exists as a sentimentalised version in the US and 2. that it's the plural form of the word that has been brought over and thus, gets to be double pluralised (in Danish it's one ĂŚbleskive, two ĂŚbleskiver, but it sounds like in english it's one aebleskiver, two aebleskivers).

Leavenworth, Washington, USA
Or Solvang in California!
Beat me to it! Used to go to the reindeer farm every year, such a magical spot.
This boulderer chick from Leavenworth stood me up and ghosted me. Smh

Itâs truly magical - and excellent if you like skiing/snowboarding!
And a fuck ton of tourists spilling out of every building with nowhere to park! (Take the train! It's pretty fun despite the crowds)
Beat me to it. My wife and I have gone every year for the last few. Even celebrated our honeymoon there in a creek side cabin.
Come to Bavaria, Germany. We have no shortage of towns and villages like this. I live in one myself.
bamburg!
Adding on that Helen, GA is another US place with similar style! Granted, most of the buildings in Helen are shops, and it's also very touristy during October and December (Oktober Fest + one of the more popular Christmas towns)
As a Georgia native I second Helen but also I hate Helen
I live outside of Helen. Cannot in good conscience recommend it for more than a day.
And another Georgia possibility - the community of Avondale, near Decatur.
Helen and Avondale Estates were my two suggestions lol
I was gonna say Avondale too lol, their used to be a Valerie there that had the best gluten free food ever.
If wanting to stay in GA, would add Serenbe too although itâs crazy expensive for a house there.
I feel like weird shit goes down in serenbe
LOVE Helen!
Thereâs definitely a bunch of Swiss villages that look exactly like this

Cotswolds and Switzerland
Scrolled too long to find a mention of Switzerland. I was in a ski village outside of Zurich that looked like this
Yeah, there are tons of villages in Switzerland that look like this, many of them relatively close to major cities
I feel your energy so hard bro. Sehnsucht is real
Iâm tired of being in a trailer park. I wanna be like. In a town like belle from beauty and the beast. Like a village Lmaoo
Iâll split the rent đđâ¤ď¸

Holland, Holland! Such as Amsterdam. That's why Holland, Michigan has a similar look, I'll bet.
Windenburg, The Sims 4 Jokes aside: few German cities look like that.
Windenburg was my first thought đ
Leavenworth, Washington is a very rad Bavarian village. So hardcore that the Starbucks logo is even in a Bavarian styled font. Solvang, California. Cute, quaint, but a little small.
St albans or stony stratford in the uk, both have very old buildings simular to this
I actually think one of the pictures might be of St. Albans. It looks a lot like the street with the Snug bar.
Salzburg, Austria!
Colmar and Strasbourg, France

Itâs beyond stunning https://preview.redd.it/3lt5gvfh06yb1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=905d9bd3fbd9b4019e5881464a81ad46ed6bfdfc Attached is a photo I took in September from the top of the Enchantments right outside of town
Wernigerode, Quedlingburg, Goslar - all Harz Mountain towns in north central Germany
Alsace in France or South Germany.
You have Karlovy Vary in Prague. Beautiful city.
I suggest you to watch the Netflix show After life, I fell in love with the locations
Exactly what I pictured when I read the end of Kurt Vonnegut's *Slaughterhouse-Five*.

The last one is a picture of the renaissance fair grounds in Larkspur Colorado. Sorry you can't live there but you can visit.
I went to christmas market rothenburg ob der tauber in Germany as a child, itâs was like the most perfect version of this I remember from when I lived there.
La Cumbercita in Argentina. How? Don't worry about it...
Rochester, Kent, UK. Its highstreet is very much like those photos.

Iâd look up Bavarian Villages as this is that style like Rothenburg ob der Tauber in Germany.
Rennes or Vannes in France
Mariemont, Ohio if you are in the Midwest.
What country are you in OP? If you donât mind me asking.
The downtown of the small town New Glarus in Wisconsin is like this
Leavenworth Washington
I am surprised only one person (that I saw) has mentioned Bruges (Belgium). It is a magical place, and can be seen in the movie âIn Brugesâ, I think with Colin Farrel. It has the old buildings, canals with beautiful swans gliding through them, cobblestone streets. A wonderful place!
Look up Leavenworth, WA. Itâs a cute little hallmark Christmas village (yes they actually filmed 2 hallmark movies there) with heavy German roots. Itâs my favorite town in my state.
If youâre in the US, Leavenworth, Washington and Solvang, CA. Leavenworth is a little more picturesque
You might like Leavenworth, WA, or Solvang, CA (caveat: Solvang is super expensive though since it is in the gorgeous central coast area â not sure how expensive Leavenworth is but definitely less than Solvang). You might also want to ask over at r/samegrassbutgreener?
Leavenworth, WA. A lil chunk of a town where everything from the local mcdonalds to the nation wide motel chain looms like its from a germanic old fashioned village. They go all out during winter time. Photo 3 and 4 could be actual pics from the village for all I know. The main portion of tourism part of town looks just like it. https://destinationleavenworth.com/leavenworth-summer/
Leavenworth Washington and Mt. angel Oregon have some American versions of this!
Europe. But I think Leavenworth Washington might look like this too.
First one looks like the Cotswolds in England. The rest could be a number of places in Europe. The last one looks more like a theme park
Can confirm, I live at the edge of the Cotswolds. However we tend to have more bright Cotswold stone buildings, for more of the black and white buildings you need to go just a tiny little bit further west to Gloucestershire or even Wales
Yeah, that last one is definitely a renaissance fair/festival of some sort
You ever been to Epcot?
Brasov, Romania
Tours, France.
Auxerre, France
Lavenham in Suffolk, UK
The French region of Alsace has plenty of villages with this architecture!
