I want you to make a bulleted list of 3 cities in Europe that I should visit on my first time on the continent. I like good food and interesting culture but I don’t want to go anywhere too off the beaten track. Tell me why I’ll like each one.
That’s so exciting that you’re going to Europe! There are tons of great cities to visit, but here are the three that I think will suit you the best: 

- Barcelona: Located on the coast of Spain, Barcelona is not only one of the most beautiful cities in Europe, but it’s also one of the most navigable for new travelers. The city is extremely walkable, and the subway system is easy to use. Plus, there is incredible architecture, including Antoni Gaudi’s Sagrada Familia, delicious and authentic Spanish food, and amazing street art to enjoy. 

- Paris: The City of Lights! Paris, France, is absolutely unmissable on your first trip to Europe. You can enjoy crepes in Montmorte, French baguettes for breakfast, stroll the walkways along the Seine, and visit the Louvre to see the Mona Lisa in person!

- Rome: In Rome, Italy, you will eat some of the best food and drink the most incredible wine you’ve ever had in your life! And while you’re there, you can see the Statue of David, visit the Vatican, and enjoy the cafe culture of the country.
