Baeza is mostly known as a fine example of well-preserved Italian Renaissance architecture ensemble. Because of that it was enscribed into UNESCO World Heritage List (together with nearby town of Úbeda) in 2003. Both towns got rich in 16th century from the production of textiles, so it's when all those fine houses were built. In 17th century, the industry collapsed and that's why few newer houses were built and thus, unique ensemble preserved. Still, there are some remains of Moorish fortifications in town. The university, established in 1538, now serves as a secondary school.

Blois is built on a pair of steep hills, winding and steep pathways run through the city, culminating in long staircases at various points. To the south of the city, the Forêt de Russy is a reminder of the thick woods that once covered the area. The town stands on the river Loire, so unsurprisingly, it sports a magnificent old bridge as well as Renaissance castle. It also has a unique museum dedicated to magic.

This beautifully preserved old German town (sometimes called a 'Cradle of Saxony') once grew out of a Slavic settlement on a small river, which is nowadays called Meisabach. A market town by 1000, it grew into an important trade centre and home to production of two famous products - Saxonian wine and fine pottery. Meissen porcelain is considered a first high quality china to be produced in the West. Both wine and pottery festivals take place every year. Town's cathedral is built on a very small plot of land, so it is one of the smallest cathedrals in Europe, but also one of the purest examples of Gothic architecture. There are also many Renaissance buildings in town.
