Now that you know how to get around Europe, here's our list of the top five cities to visit. Happy travels!

Lisbon, Portugal

Lisbon offers a rich and varied heritage, stemming from its maritime history. Its steep, cobblestone streets and vibrantly colored buildings are what make this city on the Atlantic truly unique.

If you like art, you'll love Lisbon. There's no shortage of museums such as the National Tile Museum or the National Museum of Ancient Art.

If you get hungry after all that walking around, check out the Mercado da Ribeira. From fruit stalls to cutting-edge eateries, this food market has every type of cuisine under the sun. Lisbon is known for its plethora of bars, restaurants, and cozy bakeries, so have at it, foodies!

Amsterdam, The Netherlands

Amsterdam is a youthful and vibrant city renowned for its nightlife and clubs—"Raven," "Claire," and "Shelter"—to name a few.

Not into the club scene? Take a romantic cruise along the canal, bike around the city, or visit remarkable museums such as Anne Frank's house.

Amsterdam is also known for its coffee culture. Lot Sixty One is one of the best coffee houses in town. Sip a cold brew in its rustic environs.

Prague, Czech Republic

If you're into Gothic architecture, Prague is the place to be. St. Vitus Cathedral, Prague Castle and the Charles Bridge are all stunning marvels. Make time for the Astronomical Clock, the most meticulously preserved medieval mechanical clock on the planet.

Prague is bisected by the Vltava River, where you can take a cruise while snapping pics of grand Renaissance buildings.

Budapest, Hungary

Between its medieval monuments and hip "ruin pubs" (old buildings converted into bars), Budapest is the perfect blend of historical and trendy. Each ruin pub is filled with shabby chic furniture and has its own quirky theme: "Instant" has crazy animal pictures, "Fogas Ház" has a tree motif and "Kuplung's" theme is a giant whale.

Budapest is known for its spa culture and thermal baths such as Gellert Bath and Szechenyi. Whether you chill in the pool, get a spa treatment, or attend a "sparty" (spa party) at night, Budapest's baths are a great place to meet locals and live like one.

Barcelona, Spain

Barcelona is an incomparable city. With a total of 20 Michelin Star restaurants and plenty of food markets, it's a bonafide foodie capital. Its easily accessible beaches are also renowned, such as Sant Sebastià.

And then there's Antoni Gaudí. The architect built dazzling buildings such as "Casa Milà," "Park Güell," and "Sagrada Família." The last remains unfinished to this day.
