European city
Some cities that feel committed to the special idea of European understanding bear the nickname “ European City”.
Although some of the cities that call themselves European City have been awarded the European Prize by the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe , the unofficial designation of the European City is independent of the European Prize. The municipalities call themselves the European City.
