As Ranked by BilbyandBear
City: Vernazza, Italy
Interesting website for the City: comune.vernazza.sp.it and savevernazza.com
Is it easy to navigate around the city? It is so small you can walk its main street in five minutes. Located with four other towns of similar size along Italy's "Cinque Terre" coast, it is easy to get around with the local train. 2
Hostels and Hotels (few, many, tons): Not many. There was only one hostel in the Cinque Terre when we checked. There are a few hotels and some guesthouses. All are expensive, so consider staying outside of the Cinque Terre such as La Spezia, take the train in during the day. 0.5

The rise of the Nordic Countries in the Education sector: Sweden, Denmark, Finland and Norway are setting major global trends
Countries that offer a free higher education system – is it really working?
A balancing act of sorts: The idea of a free or no tuition fees based education system is to allow individuals to be able to contribute back to the country that educated them. There is a strong misconception that all education is free. In most cases it is public education that is free.
