]]> If you’re a lover of vibrant colors and eye-catching architecture, then you’ll want to check out these incredibly colorful cities from around the world. From blue cities to rainbow islands, these five destinations are some of the most colorful places in the world. Whether you’re a photographer, artist, or simply a lover of bright and bold colors, these cities are sure to inspire and delight you.

Burano, Italy

This small island located near Venice is a colorful paradise, with buildings painted in every color of the rainbow. The tradition of painting buildings in bright colors began centuries ago, making it easier for fishermen to identify their homes while out at sea. Today, Burano remains one of the most colorful places in the world, attracting visitors from all over who are looking for a unique and whimsical experience.

Chefchaouen, Morocco

This picturesque town nestled in the Rif Mountains is known for its vibrant blue-painted buildings, earning it the nickname “Blue Pearl of Morocco.” The contrast of the blue against the greenery of the surrounding mountains creates a mesmerizing and unforgettable view. It’s no wonder that Chefchaouen has become a popular destination for photographers and Instagrammers alike.

Valparaiso, Chile

This coastal city is a colorful feast for the eyes, with its steep hillsides dotted with brightly painted houses and street art. The city’s bohemian vibe and colorful energy make it a popular destination for artists and creative types.

Jodhpur, India

Known as the “Blue City,” Jodhpur is filled with striking blue buildings that seem to stretch on forever. The color blue is said to repel heat, making it a popular choice for building materials in this desert city. Strolling through the winding alleyways and markets, you’ll feel like you’ve stepped into a fairy tale.

Guanajuato, Mexico

This charming city is known for its colorful, colonial-style buildings that line its winding cobblestone streets. Every corner you turn, you’ll be greeted with a burst of color, from the bright yellow facades to the vivid pink and blue doors. The city’s stunning architecture is a sight to behold, making it a perfect destination for any traveler looking for a vibrant and unique experience.

]]> If you’ve never heard of the Bolivian city of El Alto before, don’t despair. It has only started gaining traction with tourists and architecture lovers in the past few years after architect Freddy Mamani started transforming it into a vibrant oasis.

Before Mamani started bringing some colors to the streets of El Alto, its only claim to fame was the fact it’s one of the highest major cities in the world—at an average elevation of 4,000 meters. Its streets were mostly busy and bleak before Mamani came into the picture and decided to decorate its streets with buildings in the Neo-Andean architectural style.

Mamani’s buildings are inspired by the colors and forms of indigenous folklore. They’re known by the nickname “Cholet” and usually consist of three floors—the first is dedicated to commercial activities, the second serves as the party hall, while the third is residential.

Over the course of almost two decades, Mamani built over 70 buildings all across El Alto. They’re instantly recognizable thanks to their colorful façades, asymmetrical paneling, and quirky shapes, and they’ve been credited for boosting economic growth and the tourism industry in this city.

Havana, Cuba

Havana, Cuba: a city where the sun shines bright and the colors shine strong. The brightly painted buildings are enhanced by the colorful vintage cars, and it’s so picturesque you almost won’t be able to stand it.

Procida, Italy

It may not be as famous as Cinque Terre, but Procida, Italy is only more pristine and beautiful for being so under-the-radar. The candy-colored buildings play perfectly off of the sparkling waters, where you can recognize your house even from your boat on the sea. Or at least that’s why they say the fisherman painted their houses like this.

Copenhagen, Denmark

In a city as bleak and dark as Copenhagen, it’s only logical to compensate with colorful buildings. Nyhavn port in particular, a former red-light district, has now been rebranded as the Sunny Side, and it’s full of beautiful colors.

For the past 18 years, Bolivian architect Freddy Mamani has been changing the face of the ‘monochrome’ city of El Alto, just outside of the Bolivian capital of La Paz. Taking inspiration from the ancient city of Tiwanaku, which thrived in 500-1000AD, he has added colour, culture and personality, which he refers to as the ‘New Andean Architecture’, to around 70 buildings in the city, and more than 100 in Bolivia. Not only have these bold coloured buildings served as a trophy for the locals who want to own them, they have also boosted economic growth and the tourism industry. We like the Wes Anderson-esque vibe, trip to Bolivia anyone? #architecture #bolivia #elalto #travel #design #freddymamani

]]> Just in case you’ve been wondering, these are the most colorful cities in the world. They are spread all over the world, but they all have something in common: beautiful colorful buildings that will put a smile on your face.

Chefchaouen, Morocco

Chefchaouen is famous for the blue walls of its buildings. Some say that the blue walls have origin in Jewish mysticism while others claim the blue paint was used to repel the mosquitos. Either way, it gives the city the unique look it’s known for.

Busan, South Korea

Busan is a large city in South Korea that’s often forgotten as people typically visit Seoul. However, there’s one part of the city that will instantly make you fall in love with it. It’s called the Gamcheon Cultural Village and it’s covered in colorful houses that almost look like a stack of LEGOs.

Cartagena, Colombia

Cartagena is a traveler’s gem. With incredible beaches, a charming old town, delicious cuisine, and a vibrant cultural scene, it has everything you could wish for. The explosion of color all around the city is just a bonus.
