You Might Want to Check out These 15 Underrated Travel Spots in Europe

I’ve traveled to Europe a couple of times, but there are still quite a few places I haven’t been able to go to yet: Spain, Greece, and the Czech Republic to name a few I’d love to visit.

And although the most well-known places in Europe are wonderful (London, Amsterdam, Paris, etc.), there are a lot of places you probably haven’t thought to see.

Throw together all the amazing cities and small towns that dot the continent and you can make an enormous list of underrated spots to visit.

Here are 15 places in Europe that might fly under the radar but are definitely worth your time and attention.

1. Gdansk, Poland. Architecture and history lovers, this one is for you.

2. Durmitor National Park, Montenegro: Much quieter than other European national parks.

3. Rovinj, Croatia: Wineries and adorable seaside towns.

Most instagrammable restaurant of Riga 🐄😍⠀ ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Restorans 1221 is located in the historical center of Riga, next to Dome Square in Old Town. This blue building was once a medieval building, but currently a high-class restaurant with very tasty food! Getting a table during high season is really challenging. The year 1221 was very significant in the history of Riga as many events had taken place during that time. The first street appeared where the first building was built which is now called as Restorans 1221. ⁠🥘⠀ ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ⁠🍸🥘 🇱🇻 5 PLACES TO EAT/DRINK AT RIGA⁠: ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ⁠✓ Skyline Bar – Amazing view of the city over some cocktails ⁠🍸⠀ ⁠⠀ ✓ Black Magic – The best place to try Black Balsam; the famous national liquor and delicious desserts in the coziest medieval themed cafe. ⁠🥃⠀ ⁠⠀ ✓ Street Burger – Have eaten one of the best falafel burgers here!⁠ 🍔 ⠀ ⁠⠀ ✓ Fat Cat eklērnīca – A very cute cafe with delicious eclairs for quick bites in old town. ⁠🍩⠀ ⁠⠀ ⁠✓ Riviera – A delicious seafood restaurant with latvian twist in the art nouveau district. ⁠🦞 ⠀ ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Which countries are your favourite for food? 😋🥘 ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ⠀ 📷@sudeepkbanerjee & @globetrottingsu⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ #abmlifeiscolorful #Visitlatvia #rigastories #living_europe #topeuropephoto #lpfanphoto #todolistguide #damestravel #balticstates #youmustsee⁠⠀ ⁠

Ostatnimi czasy wszyscy uważają mnie za młodszą niż jestem. Prawdę mówiąc odejmują mi prawie 10 lat! To trochę zabawne, bo w wieku 16 lat słyszałam pytania „gdzie mam męża i dzieci” (w domyśle, że jestem grubo po 30). Może dopiero po latach uaktywniają się geny mojej mamy, która nadal wygląda na 20latkę, a może ja skacząc i śmiejąc się robię takie wrażenie?! Nie zmienia to faktu, że dobrze mi z tym co mam i nawet bardzo lubię to moje rozbrykane, wewnętrzne dziecko. Dokarmiam je co jakiś czas, by się nie uspokajało. Spełnienie marzenia o Piranie dokarmiło moją wewnętrzną radość. Jak głupia skakałam po murach obronnych, zachwycając się widokami. To miasto jest malutkie, ale i zachwycająco położone na wysuniętym w morze cyplu. Od lądu odgradzają je wzgórza, a od trzech innych stron zalewa woda. Dla mnie to jedno z bardziej uroczych miasteczek, szczególnie gdy patrzy się na nie z wysoka. #piran #slovenia #visitslovenia #ifeelslovenia #dametraveler #sidewalkerdaily #wearetravelgirls #wearetravelladies #citizenfemme #femmetravels #girlswhotravel #thetravelwomen #slovenia_ig #topsloveniaphoto #destinationhunting #traveldeeper #sheisnotlost #beautifuldestinations #podrozemaleiduze #marzeniasięspełniają #marzenia #traveloverpl #girlsdreamtravel
