Every country has at least one city square, especially in Europe. Many of these squares have witnessed many good and bad events in history. These squares are worth seeing with their architecture, monuments and landscapes.
Most of the squares have something small but attractive like a traditional coffee shop, a restaurant or an art performance center. So even though tourists have gone to see the square, they may find something interesting around there.
