If you’re visiting Copenhagen in Denmark, or Malmö in Sweden, then I recommend travelling to the other city since they’re super close to each other and easy to travel between. When we were travelling in Scandinavia, we spent a week in Copenhagen and then travelled across the Øresund bridge into Malmö for 10 days. Travelling…

Sagres is a small town in Portugal’s Algarve region that is right at the southernmost tip of the country. It’s a beautiful town that’s well-known by surfers since it is home to so many great surfing beaches.
