Lisbon

Despite being a capital city,and a very beautiful one at that, Lisbon has somehow managed to avoid the crushing numbers of tourists that flock to other major European cities. Don’t let that fool you, though; there’s plenty on offer for the savvy travellers that do visit. It’s budget-friendly, has a mild climate, and provides Insta-worthy views at almost every turn; even a ride on the city’s iconic trams is an amazing sightseeing experience.

Corfu

Corfu is the island equivalent of those people who just seem to excel at everything. Gorgeous weather, beautiful beaches, and inhabitants who have contributed as much to our global history and culture as any others in the world; the small island certainly packs a big punch, and they’ve been welcoming visitors for millennia, so they know how to make tourists feel welcome.
