Fun fact: if you wanted to travel from Riga (Latvia) to Tallinn (Estonia) by train, you’d have to change trains in this exact place. However, the rail companies only managed to synchronize their services as of this year. Before that, one would spend half a day waiting for the next train. Maybe this was some weird tourism strategy to make people spend more time there? xD

Same thing between Slovenia and Italy – Gorizia / Nova Gorica.
I had the best pizza in Nova Gorica (Slovenian side) and best Kremna rezina in Gorizia 🤣

How does this work within the city? Is there any big difference between both parts of the city? Just curious

There are plenty of such cities between Germany and Poland, for example Görlitz and Zgorzelec. Funny thing

I dig the pedestrian bridge across the border, with a swing in the middle 🙂

Once I went by foot from Strasbourg railway station directly to Kehl on the German side, just had to cross the small bridge called “Europe” on Rhine, but it also felt like not going out of the city. Quite a short walk, maybe 5-6km.

Baarle Nassau / Baarle Hertog takes the idea of being in 2 countries & turns it to 100, as the border is everywhere there

Back when they used to be part of the same empire, there wouldn’t have been a country division

Belgium/Netherlands. Baarle-Hertog/Baarle-Nassau. Belgium/France. Komen/Comines.
We also have Komárom/Komárno on the HU/SK border. It used to be one city.
there are many of such examples in the EU
recently i saw a cool [YT video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9xa0bP_CVSg) about a divided city like that on Germany-Netherlands border.
