European cities you never thought to visitbut you should

I'd recommend the Baltics. A friend has been traveling there and I'm enticed by his blog:

I haven't been to any of these cities. Should have been to Skopje (Macedonia), but we had to bypass it as there had been unrest (several police had been killed)there just 2 days before we were suppose to be there. Insight decided it was too volatile to there, so missed seeing Skopje.

I've been fortunate to have visited Skopje, which had an unusual designed museum, dedicated to Mother Therese. 

And the 3rd place on that list that I have visited is Wroclaw in Poland. They have lots of little gnome scattered throughout the city, like this one, making a deposit, in front of a bank in the main square.



And the very emotive street art.   
There are other sculptures on the other side of the street, which I didn't manage to get a photo of. I found the following, on the internet:

The public art installation called Przejście, translated as Passage or Transition was installed at the cross streets in December 2005 to mark the 24th anniversary of when martial law was introduced in Poland (December 13, 1981). It was a time when many ordinary civilians were killed and went missing, which is reflected by the descending pedestrians who disappear into the Earth. The imposing method of military ruling was lifted in 1983, as echoed by the rise of the ordinary man on the opposite side of the street. The installation provides a visual representation of time and power.
