Copenhagen
Denmark
You get around by bike, swim in the harbour baths in summer and eat well in the food halls. Pricier than average, so sharing an apartment pays off.

Lisbon
Portugal
Seven hills, yellow trams and miradouros for sunset: easy to explore on foot and by tram. At night Bairro Alto and Cais do Sodré keep even the most mixed groups happy.
