I think flats are probably the best answer if you're looking for both comfort and style. However, since you're probably going to do a lot of walking from sight-seeing, etc, I recommend a sort of sneaker flat. Ked now makes a lot of cute options, such as this one:

and they now make cute, yet comfy, sneakers as well:

these look great with jeans, skirts, shorts, anything.
if you're looking for a different kind of flat, you could also try these:

I own some pairs of ked flats and they are a lot more comfortable than normal flats because of the rubber, sneaker-like sole.
I didn't try the second flat option, so I'm not sure where they stand on comfort level, but the description also says a rubber sole and they look comfortable enough so...
for minimal hiking, I would just advise some sort of sneaker. the keds above could work, except I've never tried hiking in them, but other options could be maybe diesels, which I know could work from personal experience.

these are a pair of diesels, but if the $90 tag isn't in your price range, I know factory shoe stores such as DSW could reduce it to around $50 to $60.
for sandals, I would recommend a type of flip flop, such as these:

hope these helped!Any advice on stylish shoes that are good for walking?
You can get some Cole Haans with Nike Air in them or buy some Rockports for women (They have just launched a line of nice, comfortable women's shoes that don't look clod-hopperish).
Also Taryn Rose has a line of ';foot-friendly'; shoes for women. She's a foot doctor and all her shoes are orthopeadically sound but still look cute. They are very expensive @ $300 plus.
toms shoes for tomorrow they help support people who dont have shoes and they are very comfortable and easy to walk in thier only 38$
My suggestion is either or both pair of these shoes:
New Balance 992 - They are expensive but support your feet.
Munro's - There are lots of styles and they are all comfortable.
Sandals do not support your feet and do not provide the sanitation that may be needed in another country. Have a good trip...
depending on how much you want to spend.... Cole Haan (a fashionable shoe line) recently got together with Nike and created a line of stylish sandals, heels, and flats that have Nike Air Insoles. They can be purchased at Saks or Norstroms (tons on Nordstroms website) for $100-$300. They are super comfortable! If that is too much money, buy some of the new stylish flats, everyone sells them: Target, Payless, Nordstroms, Saks, Dillards, Kaufmanns....everyone.
I have provided a link to nordstroms Cole Haan site, FYI the shoes that say something like ';Cole Haan Air Grier Sandal'; are the ones with the air insoles.
to be honest.. shoes dont have to be super stylish/fancy to look good. What matters is the matching. It depends on your clothes and pants too! If you are going to wear skirts a lot, then i suggest you wear flip flops. You can wear the ALDO ones with or w/o heels.. they look great. If you are going to be wearing seat pants or jeans, normal sneakers.. like Adidas superstars or Baby Phat look HOT!
Tip: just don't wear stillettos no matter what.. they HURT :'(
You can try Plain Janes or Anne Clein
Aerosoles brand. I have some sandals and flats that I always get compliments on. They are cute and very comfortable.
