Given a small population of only 50,000 in the Faroe Islands, the level of sophistication and infrastructure is impressive. There is the jaw-dropping, comprehensive undersea tunnel system that connects the islands, Michelin starred restaurants, world class design and easy access to some of the most epic landscapes.

We are still not worthy of you, Athens. Your modern vibe, your incredible food, your walkability, your warm and friendly people, and your seamless synergy between the historic old and the funky new.

Wander the city, stop and eat, stop and shop, wander some more, see some art, wander some more, coffee or drinks every few hours and you have figured out Paris.  Still, after having some fully endorsed recommendations, you really can't go wrong by just ducking into most simple, sweet Paris cafes or bistros and enjoying the view.

Every single day in the Azores feels like a fairy tale. The islands are so green, perfectly manicured, there's cows everywhere and you are never far from a volcano.
