Skip the obvious. Five cities for travelers who've already done Paris, Rome, and Barcelona โ and want something quieter, weirder, and cheaper.
Paris, Rome, Barcelona โ they're crowded, they're expensive, and you've probably been. Here are five European cities punching above their weight this spring.
Lisbon's quieter, hillier sister. Tile-covered facades, port-wine cellars on the Douro, and seafood that's a third the price of Madrid. Direct flights from most US east-coast hubs.
Walkable, dragon-themed, and minutes from the Julian Alps. Spring weather is perfect for the riverside cafรฉs. Day-trip to Lake Bled and you've got the most-photographed lake in the Balkans.
Wine country older than most countries. Sulfur baths, balcony architecture, and food that's a love letter to garlic and walnut. Visa-free for most travelers.
Barcelona without the bachelor parties. Birthplace of paella, home to the futuristic City of Arts and Sciences, and a beach the locals still go to.
Baroque old town, breakneck-cheap craft beer, and a self-declared "Republic of Uลพupis" art district. Three days is enough. April is sunny.
