Preposition in the sentence: I like sitting in/on my balcony in the summer.

[Eldar]

Dear teachers,could you answer me which preposition should I use in this sentence; ''I like sitting in /on my balcony in the summer.''
Here is another question for you,of course if you don't mind.Which article is correct and Why?
''Athens is a/an European city.''
Many thanks. GOD bless you and your families.

Hope this may help you:

* a + singular noun beginning with a consonant sound i.e. begins with a consonant 'j' sound: a university; a unicycle; a European.

* I myself prefer "sitting on the balcony" to "sitting in the balcony"

Thanks

Excellent! . It helped me. Thank you,my dear.God bless you.

on the balcony: I seated myself in a chair (out) on the balcony.

in the balcony (section of a church/auditorium): I sang with the rest of the tenors (up) in the balcony.
