Hi everyone 👋

 

This week, we're jet-setting across Europe in a game exploring some of its most iconic cities and must-visit spots. 🔥

 

Here's how it works - we've scattered clues for you below. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to decipher these hints and drop the name of the location in the comments. Heads up 🙌 the map number is a nifty guide to the whereabouts of the city/place, but it might not be pinpoint accurate. To keep the game fair and fun, let's stick to one guess per comment 😊

 

Got a travel tale or two about these places? Or perhaps your listing is right in one of these locations? We'd love for you to share your experiences!

Thanks! It’s a cozy little place😊

 

I’ve been in Stockholm many times, and just love it! The old town, the museums, all the nice places to eat and drink, the people and the nature around the city like the skjærgård (archipelago).

How fun, @Marthe48 ! Thanks for sharing that. I have read that Stockholm is well known for its delicious meatballs. Have you tried them? I couldn't find if there is a vegetarian version 🤔

The Swedish meatballs are like the ones they sell at IKEA around the world. Not the most gastronomic experience, but more a dinner with the kids on weekdays☺️
