4 Overlooked European Destinations Well Worth Visiting, a Guest Post by Daniela McVicker

Europe is a truly amazing continent that every traveler wants to see and explore. The stunning history, beautiful architecture, and cultural heritage are beyond imaginable. Places like Paris, Rome, London, or Amsterdam are on everyone’s bucket list and are definitely worth paying a visit. But, what’s with all those unpopular gems of Europe that are equally as fascinating but simply don’t get enough exposure?

We’ve decided to put together a list of unpopular destinations in Europe that are worth visiting. Hopefully, this will help you realize how many wonderful unexplored destinations there are and how truly fascinating Europe is.

Let’s break it down together.

 

1.       Novi Sad, Serbia

Serbia is a small country but it has so much to offer to curious travelers such as yourself.

The second-largest city in Serbia, right after the capital of Belgrade, is the beautiful Novi Sad. Here’s what you need to know:

  • It lies on the river Danube, which allows you to enjoy sunbathing, swimming, and partying on the Strand beach from June to September.
  • If you want to have extra special time in Novi Sad, visit it in July during the Exit festival which was named Best Summer Music Festival in Europe for 2016.
  • Novi Sad is chosen to be the European Capital of Culture for 2021 thanks to its rich cultural heritage.
  • The Petrovaradin Fortress is the best place to watch the sunset over Novi Sad.

Apart from all this, Novi Sad has amazing restaurants with local cuisine, as well as enviable nightlife. The best part is that it’s very affordable and you can have a great time without spending a fortune.

You’ll be able to blend in with the locals who are great hosts and enjoy your time in Novi Sad exploring, learning, and having fun.

2.       Sarajevo, Bosnia & Herzegovina

The capital of Bosnia & Herzegovina is unlike anything you’ve ever seen before. Sarajevo is a city with a wild history and a strong presence of the Turkish influence given the fact they were under Ottoman rule for four centuries.

Sarajevo is surrounded by mountains, and the river Miljacka flows through it.

Here’s what you have to do in Sarajevo:

  • visit Baščaršija, the old trade center of the city
  • visit the Kozja ćuprija bridge on Miljacka
  • eat the most amazing and versatile food, delicacies, and deserts
  • enjoy the nightlife with live music and partying till sunrise

If you visit and like Sarajevo, write your own review of the city to make it more popular. Use websites for students in case you need help with writing.

You’ll experience hedonism and learn how to enjoy life the Bosnian way.

Brač is a Croatian island situated in the Adriatic sea. The nature is stunning in every aspect, from the deep pine tree forest to amazing pebble beaches.
