By sticking to the busy, touristy city centres, many visitors miss out on the local fun going on in the neighbourhoods. So if you’ve come across a colourful district away from the centre that shows the true character of a city, we want to hear about it. It might have great restaurants or markets or nightlife (and be better value than the city centre), a brilliant park or just a general air of friendliness.
We’re only looking for European cities this time, not the UK. Please ensure your tip stays within around 100 words, and provide websites (and prices if helpful) and exact locations.
