The narrow trails between Italy’s Cinque Terre look as if they were designed especially for couples. And the glacial plains of Iceland are so pristine, they pretty much beg you to visit alone. In Paris, all you’ll want to do is sip an intimate cup of coffee with your best friend.
Europe has a city for whichever type of travelmates (or lack of travelmates) you’re rolling with. This means there are some spots perfect for visiting with friends… and massive groups of friends, at that. Calling all college grads!
Zermatt, Switzerland
You don’t really want to ski or snowboard alone… especially not on one of the most famous mountains in the world with the Matterhorn in the background. That’s the kind of activity that just gets better the more people you share it with (not to mention funnier… hellooo, hilarious wipe outs).

Any major party capital screams to be visited in a group– Lisbon’s nightclubs will be much more fun with friends of your same vibe. Beautiful beaches and adventurous hikes are waiting for when you sneak off with someone you’ve had your eye on.
