10 underrated cities for a 4-friend trip in Europe
Where to go when Lisbon and Barcelona feel done. Easy flights, good food, group-friendly stays.
The classic list (Lisbon, Barcelona, Amsterdam) is great. Here are ten that punch above their weight for groups of 3-6:
- Porto, Portugal — cheaper than Lisbon, prettier than people think, the wine.
- Valencia, Spain — beach + city + paella in walking distance.
- Naples, Italy — chaotic in the best way, Capri day trip from the doorstep.
- Brno, Czechia — the cooler younger sibling of Prague, fraction of the price.
- Tirana, Albania — flights are cheap, food is fantastic, mountains 2h away.
- Antwerp, Belgium — design hotels, top-tier brunch, easier than Amsterdam.
- Riga, Latvia — Art Nouveau old town, big airbnbs for groups, cheap rounds.
- Bilbao, Spain — Guggenheim, pintxos, San Sebastián is an hour away.
- Belgrade, Serbia — hostel scene that's grown up, river clubs.
- Lyon, France — bouchons, mountains, day trips to Provence.
Whichever you pick, Voyaway makes it stupid-easy to put a 6-person group on the plane.
