How about Titan, its atmosphere is 50% higher than earth and thus you don't need high pressure suits and it's temperature is -180°C (-300F) even though it's too low, some advanced suits based on aerogel can keep you warm
And has Methane and ethane a huge energy source.

Fun fact if a human were to wear wings like a bird you could fly by flapping them. Gravity is low enough and atmosphere is thick enough.

Sounds like a space tourism hotspot

The methane needs oxygen for combustion though. It's funny how it would be like the opposite of the Earth. The fuel is floating around in the atmosphere, and you need to dig up the oxidizer.

Look up NASA’s dragonfly, it’s a cool mission. On another note however out here the primary concern is purely astrobiological, Titan as a location for colonization is laughable, even Mars is still far out with present day tech. And in terms of astrobiology Europa seems a better candidate for hosting life, a warm subsurface ocean is better than methane seas or a cold organic soup solution that probably is Titans subsurface ocean.
