Portugal's capital city, Lisbon. Apparently, this is the best city to live in to achieve the elusive work-life balance (because, it's official, working from home makes you happier).

- Lisbon, Portugal
- Miami, USA
- Seville, Spain

- Bristol, UK
- Marseille, France
- Bratislava, Slovakia
- Vancouver, Canada
