Who would you like to escape to this place with? Copenhagen is a city full of wonder where there are exciting things hiding behind every corner.

Monza, Italy

A luxury yurt is a great place to crash after being one of the few people to attend #Breaking2: @Nike’s quest to break the 2-hour marathon barrier. Congrats to the lucky 10 #NightAt winners who were there to witness history in Monza, Italy. ⠀ ? : @pimrinkes

Want to enjoy something special? Something with a little bit of sparkle? Then it is important to find accommodation that is perfect for you. It doesn’t necessarily have to be a house… the excursions that you remember are the ones that are a little bit different.

Lisbon, Portugal

No matter how nice your place in Alfama is, you probably won’t be seeing much of it, especially if you’re here in the spring. Exploring the medieval neighborhood’s hidden streets and alleys can easily take all day. When your feet start to blister, head to Tasca do Chico in Bairro Alto for live fado. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Photo: @claramgest

There is nothing better than living with the locals and exploring the hidden streets of Medieval Lisbon. You can easily spend hours walking and never run out of things to explore.

Bergen, Norway

Whether you’re heading toward a bowl of the super-hearty stew called lapskaus or slowly returning home from one, it’s hard to walk anywhere in this charming old neighborhood without smiling. A chilly night in early spring is perfect for a short detour to Folk og Rovere, a lively pub with DJs and live music. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Photo: @thewayjournal

The wooden houses in Norway have a real charm. In the Spring when the sun reflects on their white surfaces, the buildings shine a magical light which gives the city a fairy tale sparkle.

Porvoo, Finland

More guests have been popping up in Porvoo, Finland than ever before. To find out why, we went straight to the source: our Airbnb hosts. Swipe left to see what we uncovered in this historic creative hub, teeming with fairytale forests, an emerging Finnish foodie scene, and nights of kalsarikännit (that’s the Finnish word for drinking at home with no pants on). ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Photo: @kjphotos1022

There are places full of charm, and then there is Poland. Neither the cold nor the snow can spoil this beautiful place.

Byron Bay, New South Wales

The light might not always be this perfect, but good luck finding any corner of this cottage that doesn’t look like a carefully composed photo. Full of smartly curated handmade décor, it’s an ideal home base for the Byron Bay International Fashion Festival on April 29. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Photo: @wade_edwards & @temple_retreats_byron

It can’t be denied that escaping to somebody’s home has a lot more charm than staying in a hotel. Here is the proof!

Santorini, Greece

Not every offseason day looks like this. But the relative calm makes it the best time to savor the island’s beauty and get to know residents and fellow visitors. Buses stop running earlier than usual, so be sure to double-check schedules before heading out for a day trip to the awesomely well-preserved ancient city of Akrotiri. Photo: @miriamantemie

Who wants to spend a weekend in one of the beautiful white houses of Santorini? Nestled on the cliffs of Oia, this Airbnb has incredible views of the Aegean sea.

Copenhagen, Denmark

As winter eases its grip and the trees get their first buds, Christianshavn residents gradually return to the streets and squares of their historic neighborhood. Those who’d rather stay indoors a little longer can delve into CPH-DOX, the huge international documentary film festival taking place March 16-26. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Photo: @manjumilin

A unique place to enjoy with all the family. There is so much surprise and magic here it’ll feel like your exploring the pages of fantasy novel.

Florence, Italy

On your way here, pick up some local cheeses and fresh fruit from the Galluzzo farmers market, and you’re good for the day. (Correction: It’s Tuscany, with spring just around the corner. You’re good for the day regardless.) #TreehouseTuesday ⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Photo: @fanplustravel
