Tired of gray and colorless environments and cities? When the good weather arrives we like to see scenes full of color, which have much more joy and luminosity, so you will love the five most colorful cities in the world. There are many others, probably, but today we will focus on these, in which they have wanted the houses to be brightly colored.
We like to find original places when traveling, and without a doubt the photographs that can be taken in these nice cities are going to be spectacular. Houses full of color, of the same color or of varied colors, which have been chosen for different reasons, but which have become a hallmark of each of these cities.
Island of Burano in Venice
The island of Burano is located north of Venice, and is well known for handicrafts with thread lace. Just as the Island of Murano is famous for its crystals, many people go to Burano to buy the lace and also to see its famous colored houses, which make it look like a fantasy place. A space full of color with channels where small boats await. If there is a dream place to get lost, it is this island, where everything seems taken from another world. It is said that these houses that now attract tourists were painted like this so that sailors could reach their house even when the fog was thick. Whether it's true or not, these pretty houses are one more reason to visit Venice.
La Boca neighborhood in Buenos Aires
The neighborhood of La Boca is one of the most famous in Buenos Aires, and at the same time one of the poorest in the city, with some people who are very proud of this picturesque neighborhood. It is located on the banks of the Riachuelo, and grew as a fishermen's neighborhood, naturally. It was created as a neighborhood in which many immigrants lived, especially of Italian origin, who built the houses, which they call conventillos, and which were painted with the paintings left over from the workshops. Thus we see such colorful and cheerful houses in this neighborhood. Its most famous area is Calle Caminito, where you can see artists exhibiting their works, and which is one of the most cared for. This neighborhood should be visited during the day, since at night it is not recommended, nor when there is a game at the Boca Stadium, because sometimes there are conflicts.
Jodhpur in India
Jodhpur is known as the blue city of rajasthan state, in India. When we talk about this blue city we refer to the old part of this city, since the new part has nothing to do with it. The vast majority of tourists love to visit the older area, with its blue-painted houses and endless alleys. This old area is surrounded by an almost collapsed wall.
The legend of the houses painted blue is that the Brahmins, of the highest castes, began to paint their houses like this to differentiate them from all the others. It should not be forgotten that in India there is a social caste system that persists today. Over time, more houses were painted because this tone repels insects and is also a welcome color. However, to take good photos you have to have a quality camera, because the streets, being so narrow, are usually dark. It is great to get lost in them and see the life of its people, the cows in the streets and the artisans doing their jobs.
Manarola in Italy
The fishing village of Manarola is located in Northern Italy, in the Ligurian Riviera, on some cliffs overlooking the sea. It is one of those beautiful towns that we have probably seen once in travel photographs. This town is located in the Cinque Terre, which are five coastal towns in the Liguria area. In it what we have to see is the town itself, walking through its streets that go up the hill. The main street is the 'Via di Mezzo' or middle street, where you can find restaurants and artisan shops selling interesting things. The whole city has colorful houses in pastel tones that make Manarola a very peculiar town.
Wroclaw in Poland
This is one of the oldest and most beautiful cities in Poland, which retains its medieval charm and typical buildings. One of the most colorful spots in the city, since we cannot find this profusion of tonalities in the houses everywhere, is the Rynek Square or Market Square. In it we can find Renaissance-style houses with bright colors, and it is also the center of the medieval city, making it the most interesting area.
