Modern and metropolitan city, bustling with life. Milan is ultra-cool but also relaxed, and grabbing a few beers and appetizers is not a bad way to spend an evening. Definitely recommend.

Small and quiet old town on the ocean. There isn't much to do here but if you are looking to relax after traveling through Italy or Ljubljana, it's nice for a night or two.

Ljubljana Slovenia
Worth It

Very cool city that doesn't get a lot of love. Nice river promenade and castle high above the city. Metelkova, an abandoned army barracks turned club, is the coolest nightlife I have experienced yet

Kotor Montenegro
Must Visit
2 days
Stunningly beautiful town set at the bottom of a massive fjord. This is a great place to relax for a couple days and swim in the Adriatic. Make sure to hike up the mountain for a spectacular view over the Bay. When the tourist cruise ships come in to town, you can escape to Herzeg Novi up to the coast for a quiet afternoon.

Tirana Albania
Worth It
2 days
Tirana was closed off from the outside world for dozens of years, and the country is just beginning to emerge on the international stage. Things still operate at a slower pace, but the people are friendly and the grilled sausages plentiful. Make sure to climb up the top of the dystopian-looking pyramid for beers at sunset and then hit some of the cool, hip bars nearby until late.

Berat Albania
Meh
1 day
Berat is a sleepy mountain town about 4 hours from Tirana by shared mini-bus taxi. There isn't much to do outside of the ruins of an old fort on the hillside overlooking the city.
One interesting tip - every night the entire city gathers for a walk down the main street just to wave at each other and say hi. If you happen to be in town at night, do not miss this!

London may be expensive but is a city everyone must visit in their lifetime. Shoreditch and Camden are great neighborhoods for exploring and going out in.

Paris France
Must Visit
One of my most favorite cities, Paris is a classic traveler's dream. It's easy to get lost for a few days taking in the history and culture. Definitely do not miss it if you are in France.

Málaga Spain
Must Visit
Small and quiet city without much going on, but good for a relaxing visit. Definitely stay within the walled city, as there isn't much outside. Beach and old fort are good for exploring.

Gibraltar
Must Visit
Very unique territory; a British enclave surrounded by Spain. Good for a day trip but I wouldn't stay overnight. Make sure to take the cable car up to the top of the mountain for an amazing view.
