Bologna, Italy. Without a doubt, the best gastronomic city in the best gastronomic country. I will never forget the tortellini al brodo, the tagliatelle al ragù and the panna cotta I had there. I also loved walking up to the Madonna di San Luca and seeing the amazing view

Poland beyond Krakow. It was never on my radar before I moved to Germany and started traveling there all the time since it’s right next door, but WOW. Poland has it all. Cool cities, great food, beautiful castles and landscapes, fascinating history. It doesn’t really get the tourism it deserves, although I like that the main sights aren’t crowded with other tourists.

North of Spain Incredible beauty at a fraction of the cost of many similar places in Europe. You could spend a couple of months exploring the Basque Country, Asturias, Cantabria and Galicia on your own. Driving through the Peaks of Europe is a great experience, and you can drive between rural mountain villages and picturesque beach towns in less than an hour. Great public transport to rural places in the Basque Country too.

Sri Lanka! Pearl of the Indian Ocean with natural beauty and history. Friendly people with tasty and organic spicy food. Sandy beaches with coconut palms. Wildlife with elephants.

Belize. Next to Ambergris Caye and Caye Caulker, it is not very touristy. It has everything from the second largest barrier reef in the world to lush tropical forests. It’s cheap, the people are very friendly and it’s relatively safe. I lived in Belize for a period of time and loved it.

Western Sichuan, China. People come to Tibet every year, take out money for special Tibet visas and have to travel there in tour groups. Worst of all, all of this money goes towards funding the government or its tourism industry. It is culturally Tibetan and in the foothills of the Himalayas. Best of all: no permit, freedom of movement and your money goes to support local people.

I will say Alaska, but not on a cruise. I stayed in a small town 3 hours from Anchorage and had the time of my life. It is a virgin desert. It was mind blowing. Moose walked along the riverbank as we pessimized and killer whales swam alongside our boat as we headed into the Kenai Fjords.

Albania! Greece’s least famous neighbor. Beautiful beaches, tasty and fairly cheap food, lots of gems to explore. The cons: English speaking is not his thing, so maybe brush up on some Italian or here are some useful words I learned 🙂

**POLAND**My fiance and I just visited Poland over the Christmas holidays and had a great time. We will definitely be back. – Krakow is beautiful. It has all the comforts of a very modern city, but beautiful old architecture, horse carriages, pedestrian streets.- The Krakow Christmas market was amazing. The food was great. The little tchotchkes were great. It made us feel super Christmasy.- Lots of things to do. Cultural activities, museums, fun bars, amazing shopping. In Zakopane there are attractions, playgrounds for adults, natural hot springs, ice skating. Everything!- Food is a killer. Pierogies are life. Mushroom soup is a food group. -Fantastic vodka. – The mountains in southern Poland (around Zakopane) are beautiful. Many streams, waterfalls, panoramic views of the valley. – Really cheap. Maybe $60 for a multi-course dining experience and wine. $4 for a 3 hour bus ride. – Super nice (and attractive) people. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. It was a big difference from the brusque Western Europe. – It’s not super touristy. We rarely see too many other tourists. Although many things were translated into English, we never felt that any part of the experience catered to visitors.

Ljubljana, Slovenia. It’s beautiful and full of friendly people. My first night there I went out to dinner with two guys I met at our hostel and the owner of the restaurant gave us traditional Slovenian alcohol. It was like a very strong cherry brandy only strong enough that we had physically struggled to get it down. After he finished it, he would come over with a big smile and give it a refill. This went on all night and at the end of our meal we had to leave money on the table and run away before he made us drink more. Thinking back, it sounds a little rude of us, but I think he was laughing at us and it was all in good fun. I found Ljubljana incredibly romantic – think Paris if Paris was still a small town of 300,000 people so no one even tries. prey on yourself as a tourist. There is also a castle overlooking the city. It is beautiful.

Bordeaux is really great. The food, weather and wine are amazing and it’s much cheaper and friendlier than Paris. In fact, all the “second cities” in France have pleasantly surprised me. And I love Paris.

As I’ve said countless times on reddit.Oman, it’s not a party destination, but if you like the outdoors, you’ve got it. Hiking? CheckCamping? CheckDune bashing? Check out miles and miles of pristine coastline? Check out the hidden oasis? CheckHell, they even have lush rainforests. The people are some of the nicest in the world and the food is good. It is still an unknown destination and people are afraid to go because it is in the middle east but it is completely safe. Omanis don’t buy this extremist shit, so it hasn’t spread there. It’s a great place.

Riga, Latvia. Great people and culture, lots of great streets and buildings to explore. You can rent a car and go to a bobsleigh track or take a train to the beach. If you are in Europe, you can get a very cheap Ryanair flight. I recommend going during the Baltic Beer Festival.

Unsurprisingly, it’s a bit more popular with Europeans, but Malta is virtually unheard of among Americans and a great place to visit. Cheap, amazingly beautiful, great weather all year round. I was there last month and there were quite a few tourists around the main sites of Valletta, but literally hardly anyone once you got even slightly off the beaten track.

My wife and I went to Puerto Rico last year for our honeymoon. It was so easy to get there – it felt like cheating. Old San Juan was beautiful and we also spent some time on the eastern islands, Culebra and Vieques. I would love to go back and spend more time in Culebra. It was very relaxed and great snorkelling at the beach.

I would definitely recommend Giethoorn, Netherlands. It’s basically a small town where you can take a silent boat ride on the canals and just enjoy the view. In the summer there are quite a lot of people but I love it and there are restaurants next door where you can have a drink. Definitely a must-see if you’re in the Netherlands, where not many tourists know. [Image](http://www.paintballgiethoorn.nl/attachments/Image/m1ezs6qaemw6_2.jpg?template=generic)Edit: It’s pretty cheap too, €15 for an hour.

Borneo (especially Kalimantan). Many people visit Kuala Lumpur, Jakarta, most of Java and Bali. Not that many people go to Borneo, and of those who visit Borneo, most stay in Malaysia and very few venture to Kalimantan (the Indonesian part of Borneo). Rainforest, orangutans, leopards and beaches, and it’s much less crowded than Bali!

If you’re an outdoorsy person, you’ll find paradise in Baños, Ecuador. There is easy access to biking, white water rafting, bungee jumping, canyoning, ziplining, amazing waterfalls and lookouts. And there’s even a pretty good nightlife. I would also recommend Mindo, located in the cloud forest of Ecuador. Ecuador is on the US dollar and everything is extremely cheap.

Taiwan is a very nice place to travel! It’s a place where people are really nice. Japan is polite. But not hospital. It’s cheap to travel, but very modern and safe. It has nightclubs and also beautiful mountains. And the food is also a mix of the best of China, Japan and Korean style.

Head to Lebanon to enjoy the amazing food, friendly people, nightlife and beautiful scenery throughout the country. Also the food! I’ve been to Israel, which was amazing in itself, but I enjoyed Lebanon even more.

Laos is one of my favorite countries. Travel down the Mekong River by cargo boat. Luang Prabang, the former royal capital, and Vientiane are great places to visit. The food is great, it’s relatively pristine (but not like my first trip in 1996).

Mostar, Bosnia & Herzegovina I had never heard of it until I planned my trip, but it’s probably the best place I ended up going to last summer. it’s in a beautiful area with such an interesting history both during and before the war, and the hostel I stayed in gave me an amazing tour of the city and its surroundings.

My wife and I went to Aachen, Germany on our honeymoon (to the surprise of our German friends) and had a great time. Compared to bigger European cities, it was much less tourist-focused (sometimes it was hard to find someone who spoke English), but the people were very nice and the city is rich in history.

I have been to more than 60 countries on 6 continents. One that comes to mind is Namibia, just above South Africa. Have you ever seen pictures of amazing giant sand dunes in the desert [like this one](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sossusvlei)? I always thought it was somewhere in the Sahara, but no, it’s Namibia. It is the most isolated country in the world after Mongolia in terms of people (example: Michael Jackson died while we were there and we didn’t hear about it for days until we got to a gas station where it was written on a blackboard), so a lot of nothing pretty for the most part and all very safe. And you’ll never see the stars burn as deep and bright as you will in the Namib Desert. Also, they still have all the great safari animal type things you get elsewhere in Africa in Etosha National Park – we stayed at a campsite that was part of a five star resort with a well of water at the edge of the park and one of the incredible. things in my life I was sitting there in the dark with a drink, watching wildebeest and hyenas and elephants come to drink water at night. (Oh, and also [pet a cheetah in Namibia](http://whereisyvette.files.wordpress.com/2009/07/image1811.jpg), but that’s another story.) Oh, and if you want unusual culture beyond the typical African cuisine, there is a crazy German village on the coast where you can have a Black Forest cake and a great beer while watching ethnic Germans wearing anti-Israel shirts. (The only place I’ve ever seen the Germans seriously do this, and I heard some escaped Nazis must have settled there.) Yes, it was weird, but definitely memorable. And a memorable trip is made of interesting places where you won’t get bored, one thing you won’t get bored of is Namibia.

Nepal, what a wonderful place. It’s like going on vacation 700 years ago. The people are very friendly. The food is tasty. I stayed at the Vajra. Which is located in the western part of Kathmandu. It’s at the same latitude as Atlanta, so it’s in the 70s in the winter. The peak event was a trek, I flew into Lukla (the most dangerous airport in the world). I walked for four days taking time to approach the Namche Bazaar. The last day of my trip to the north was at Tengboche Monastery. It is located in the Kumbu Valley. The view down the valley is Ama Dablum on the right. Lhotse and Nupste are straight and the peak of Everest is visible behind the ridge of Lhotse. Shit, I saw the top of the world. Would go back in a heartbeat. I didn’t mention rhododendrons. It was on the second floor of the Vajra. There was a Rhodi who passed us on the third floor. It was more tropical than I imagined.

Not much off the beaten track, but one of my most pleasant surprises in recent years was the Istria region in northern Croatia. Germans know everything, but other than that I didn’t notice many other non-Croatians.[Rovinj](http://www.rovinj-cocaletto.com/img/rovinj.jpg) was like a fairy tale , and the interior is full of lush scenery, with interesting hilltop villages, such as [Motovun](http://en.istria-guide.hr/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/Motovun_General_view_01.jpg). Good place for food lovers and History Nerds, and the weather is also good.

Vienna: I didn’t have high expectations, but the city is beautiful. Much nicer than Paris IMHO. The cafes, the museums, the architecture, even the metro is probably the cleanest I’ve seen in Europe. Also, during the summer they host a free arts festival where they broadcast some opera on a big screen with street food and beer.

Vilnius, Lithuania – The husband was surprised at how fashionable, fashionable and well dressed the people of Vilnius were. The town was also very nice – very clean and picturesque with great baroque architecture.

Bhutan is criminally underrated. The government has a brilliant system where you have to pay a daily fee to travel within the country. It very easily solves the problem of over-tourism that affects countries like Thailand, Indonesia, Cambodia and Vietnam. The fee means Bhutan is unaffordable for backpackers and your average child of gap years. The country is unspoilt, the views are magical and the people are very nice. I went on a 12-night trip and had a guide the whole time, which allowed me to forget about the logistics and just have a blast. Tigers Nest (probably Bhutan’s most famous tourist attraction) was spectacular. The whole trip was also great for disconnecting.

I was pleasantly surprised by Busan and South Korea in general. Strange juxtaposition of old/super modern and chaos/organized. I’m not sure how it works, but it does, and it looks a lot better than other big cities. The scenery, food and people are fantastic.

St John USVI is the best place I have ever been. It’s not cheap, and it’s certainly not overlooked, but most of the island is national forest, so only 1/4 of the island is built on. my wife and i had several days where it would be just us and maybe a few other couples on great beautiful beaches.

Istria, Croatian peninsula on the border with Italy. The northern Adriatic in general doesn’t seem to get as much love as the south.

I just spent 3 weeks in Romania. The round trip ticket from Atlanta to Budapest (the part of Romania I was visiting is closer to Hungary) was about $900. I spent about $1000 in the 3 weeks I was there. A very beautiful country. I got engaged to my girlfriend while I was here (I proposed to her at Bran Castle) and I plan to move here at the end of the year. I am currently sitting in Budapest airport waiting for my flight home and wondering what I will do with my 17 hour layover in London.

One of the things I like to do when I visit big name places is to find small places nearby for a day trip. The best thing is that you can do it from anywhere. Some of these places can still be a bit touristy, but they are often much less crowded than where you are. Some examples of places I really liked when I travel:[Rye, England – a day trip from London](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rye,_East_Sussex) It is a very small town in the south coast of England, with many very old buildings and a small fort.[Sounion, Greece – a day trip from Athens](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sounion) There a temple of Poseidon right on the sea. It’s ridiculously beautiful[Siena, Italy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siena) It’s not exactly low-profile, but it’s often overlooked by travelers to Florence[Delft, Netherlands](https ://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delft) Small and beautiful town not far from Amsterdam, I could go on, but the general idea should be clear 🙂 Worth a little research and the willingness to travel by bus/train for a couple of hours. this

Krakow, Poland Basically a less touristy version of Prague (which I think was overrated). Lots of history, skiing, hiking, bars, clubs. It was never bombed during World War II, so it still retains most of its historic architecture

I don’t know how it’s under the radar, but Budapest is a beautiful city and very affordable.

Two cities come to mind and I had the pleasure of visiting them on the same trip 1: Krakow, Poland – Amazing central square. We went here to visit Auschwitz and the city surprised us. Be sure to visit the Salt Mines while you’re there. Auschwitz leaves you with a very intense depressing feeling, seeing the rest of Krakow will instantly take you out of that feeling. 2: Budapest – I honestly didn’t know what to expect, but the city is beautiful. Be sure to take a night cruise on the Danube.

Nicaragua. Everyone thinks it’s still a dangerous place to go. The truth is that it is easily the safest country in Central America. There is not much crime because there is not much tourism. It’s also about half the price of a Costa Rica vacation. My wife and I honeymooned there for 2 weeks and it was a great experience.

Georgia (the country). Really cheap flights from parts of Europe (mainly Istanbul and Warsaw, but also Amsterdam, Vienna and Paris). Great mountains and scenery, the people are famous for welcoming guests and the food and drink are excellent. It claims to be the birthplace of wine and has many different varieties available. There are also a lot of old churches around, if you want to see things like that. There are no problems despite the recent war with Russia, and in the big cities young people know enough English (and Russian) that there are no problems (especially since they don’t expect foreigners to know any Georgians). And there is something. about the country that captivates you. I’ve lived there for the past two years, and when I talk to expats, they all agree. One guy, for example, went in 2000 to do research for his PhD, and he was only supposed to be there for a few months. He never left. It really is a great country and one that most people don’t visit.

Then we have another island between Malta and Gozo, not much there really except for THIS GORGEOUS BLUE LAGOON http://www.maltainsideout.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/Blue-Lagoon-before-the – crowds.jpg

I could go on and on. There is so much to see here, I personally think it’s fascinating.. Maltas has got you covered no matter what you’ve traveled here to see.

Galway, Ireland – music, bars & amp; the beautiful city was amazing. Dingle, Ireland was so much more than I expected. There were so many cute shops & colorful doors all over the city. Queenstown, New Zealand – I went in the fall & the landscape blew my mind!

Detroit, MI. The center had some catching up to do and was taking steps to make it even better. Also cleaner than I thought. The Detroit style pizza was also good.

While it’s not exactly under the radar, it’s surprising how many people in the US don’t realize how much easier it is to travel to Puerto Rico than other Caribbean islands.

The Moravian part of the Czech Republic. Many castles and castles largely unknown to most Americans. Relatively cheap. Nice people Czech beer

I consider Croatia to be under the radar because I had no idea how beautiful it was until I got there. The lakes of Plitvice, Split, Hvar, Pula, Zadar and Dubrovnik, The Pearl of the Adriatic. Driving along the Dalmatian coast on a sunny summer day was one of the most stunning sights I have ever seen. Dubrovnik is simply amazing, the water is clear, there are a lot of tourists (par-tay!) and the Old Town of Dubrovnik makes me feel like I’m back in the Middle Ages. Croatia surprised me in a very good way. I don’t know what the most beautiful place I’ve been to in Europe is, but any top three list has to include Dubrovnik. I went there twice during my study year in Germany and I want to go back one day.

Armenia I highly recommend venturing away from the capital. As beautiful as Yerevan is, it is nothing compared to the surrounding countryside. The country is not very big, so you can easily reach all these places in 1-5 hours driving on dirt roads.

People have told me that the US Virgin Islands are great for a lesser known tropical vacation and are cheap compared to better known destinations like the Bahamas.

First, let me say that it’s been my experience that you can almost always find under-the-radar destinations for all places, super famous or not. And depending on the level of snob you’re talking to, places may be less “under the radar” than others. Having said that, the first three that immediately come to mind:1. Albania: I think this country definitely stands out for me on this front. I remember going to the country from Greece, everyone told me to avoid it, as Albanians are known to be “shady”, “untrustworthy” or “vaguely fascist” people. And it started like that when I arrived in Sarande, but subsequent experiences, both hitchhiking and traveling through the Prokletije (the “cursed mountains”), my perceptions have done a 180, and I often return to my experiences. in this country as a personal example of making sure to disconnect the perceived traits and the real traits of a people and a country.2. Koyasan/Kii Peninsula – Located in Japan, which is a pretty busy place (that would be an understatement). That said, besides Tokyo, Osaka and Kyoto, other sections of Japan are relatively less frequented. Koyasan and the Kii Peninsula, which is a few hours south of Kyoto and very close to Nara (another somewhat under-the-radar city, though less so), and historically known as the area of mountain where Shintoism and Buddhism meet. they merged to form the syncretic religion present in Japan today. Koyasan, which has some beautiful temples and nature, with few foreign tourists to begin with, is a definite recommendation. There is a [beautiful guesthouse](http://koyasanguesthouse.com/) that a friend of mine opened there a few years ago, which is reasonable accommodation with immensely beautiful architecture. 3. The road between Ladakh and Srinagar: Ladakh itself is a fairly unknown place (though again, less so), but the main roads and Between Srinagar and Ladakh, as you climb Gher and higher into the Himalayas, it is a wonderful experience. Most people fly around here (figuratively and literally), often only taking a night off in Kargil, but taking their time and slowly walking into Ladakh, visiting and staying in the small towns there between, it’s a wonderful experience that I would recommend to anyone. Just a few favorites. I’ve tried to be brief, but I can go into more detail if anyone is interested.

Myanmar, Bagan in particular, is an ancient city from the 9th to the 13th centuries with more than 1000 temples and since Myanmar only opened its borders a few years ago, the barley hit. I visited Ankor wat which was nice but too busy for my taste and a bit more commercial. With Bagan you can spend the whole day riding an electric scooter and see less than 5 people.

If you are thinking of going to Tibet, I recommend checking out the western Sichuan region. All of the same culture, beautiful landscapes, etc. But you don’t need to get a special visa or a guide when you travel. You get a much more authentic experience and the freedom to go where you want, while visiting a region that is ethnically and culturally Tibetan. Edit: Well, what do you know, I just saw that the main comment is now about western Sichuan. . Glad to see it’s appreciated!

Hokkaido. It seems like everyone goes to Tokyo or Kyoto, but Hokkaido has the best food.

Iran. I have visited about 70 countries so far. If I had to choose one that left the best and deepest impression on me, I would choose Iran without a doubt. Georgia (the country) ranks second

san diego I didn’t realize that everyone would have a garden basically in front of their house. And the whole city is basically part of a park? And the park is just as cool as the cactus park section.

I agree with Chicago. I was born in Iowa, but have lived in the Chicago area for over 20 years and have lived on the Gold Coast for over 3 years. I’m totally convinced it’s the best city in America, especially the summer tour. And I also agree with the OP that I was pleasantly surprised by the architectural boat tour. I found it boring and I wouldn’t say I’m really into the architecture, but in the end it was more about the history of Chicago than anything else. It was fascinating.

Antwerp I loved the history there, the museums and the architecture. Excellent restaurants and cafes/bars too.

The city of Baños in Ecuador. It is located at a very high altitude surrounded by mountains and a partially active volcano. Very tourist friendly. They have a massive church that is made entirely of volcanic rock that was taken from the volcanic eruption that destroyed the city many years ago.

Banff It was like we were in a snow globe. It was even more beautiful than the pictures made it look. I will be back often

Mexico City. I was told it would be dangerous and “nothing special” but it was absolutely beautiful and so alive and fun. The people were some of the friendliest I’ve encountered anywhere and all the food was amazing. It remains one of my favorite cities to this day.

Stellenbosch, South Africa It is an hour’s drive from Cape Town. It is the wine country of South Africa. The vineyard I liked the most was Delaire Graff Estate, it is incredibly beautiful! The majestic views of the Cape Mountains, the well-tended gardens and the great atmosphere!

Orvieto, Italy. I stopped there because it was a halfway point between Rome and Florence and the cathedral, the views from the city walls (it’s on top of a cliff), the friendly people and the ancient Etruscan underground passages.

Do you know the Alamo? Well, did you know that after 30 minutes there are several restored missions that are *not* half-destroyed and surrounded by skyscrapers?

The Philippines, outside of Manila and Mindanao, is beautiful. Manila is a bit dirty and choked with tourists and Mindanao has a radical Muslim population large enough to make it unattractive to tourists, but the rest of the country is very cheap and like living in a postcard.

Beirut. As someone who grew up in and around New York, this was the first city that had the same palpable energy when you stepped outside. Amazing food, beautiful people.

Istanbul, Turkey surprised me in a good way. It started out rocky, getting ripped off by a girl (costs 1 lira so not terrible), a torrential thunderstorm suddenly fell after that, and then our hotel gave our room to some old people with money, and we were stuck in an insect-infested room with no lights inside the wall of Hagia Sophia. From the next day, everything is amazing. The Turkish food was absolutely amazing! Lots of tomatoes, cucumbers and yogurts and meat without much else besides spices. As an American, I thought I knew the spices, but this taught me that everything I knew was wrong. Which led me to the bazaars to find more. I think I spent so much on spices and tea on my second day, I still have some vacuum sealed in storage 11 years later (sure it’s gone bad now, but I couldn’t finish it all). I LOVED haggling with the shop owners, but it was really weird at first, because I had lived in Japan for 5 years at this point, and it doesn’t usually happen there. Shop owners would almost always offer you apple tea or a yogurt drink just for stopping by. They seemed almost bored if you walked in and bought something without trying to haggle. As a cat, there were cats all over town! My ex bought cat food at a store and every time we stopped to eat, she would put food out for the cats nearby. There were cats that lived in Santa Sofia and I remember them saying that they would rather have their lives, live in a place like that and have a city of people who care for them.

I’m not sure how common this is, but I loved Inverness the few times I’ve been. Something about it, as well as the beautiful surrounding sights (see Black Island), is great to me

Bucharest, Romania. I heard so many bad things about the city: ugly buildings, crime, dirty, etc. But I loved it! The people were so kind, it wasn’t as ugly as I expected because of the first crush on the French style, and the history was very interesting. I also felt very safe there and thought it was much cleaner than other highly rated cities in Europe (looking at you Rome). It has moved to one of the cities I would like to live in if I ever had the chance, along with Copenhagen and Prague.

I just left Campeche, Mexico. The local market had the best food I have tasted so far in Mexico. Food is important.

Is Dubai overrated?

The city is clean, safe and highly efficient; in transit, it’s worth a look. However, the problems with Dubai run deep, which is why we’re considering it an overrated travel destination. First, these gigantic skyscrapers were built using what critics compare to today’s slave labor.

Is Dubai tacky? Dubai is definitely not tacky – it can be a little flashy in places, but a lot of fun! We went in OCTOBER when it was 35 degrees and it took a day or so to get used to, especially since everywhere inside is air conditioned so when you go outside there is a gust of air hot On the same subject : Nancy Pelosi to travel to Asia with a possible stop in Taiwan, despite warnings from China.

Is Dubai worth living?

Vibrant social life. Social life in Dubai is diverse and exceptional. Many expats join a private beach club and spend much of their non-working hours enjoying all the amenities it offers, while others join the many sports clubs available in the emirate.

Is Dubai worth the hype?

Why you shouldn’t go to Dubai?

Apart from petty crimes such as pickpocketing, scams and sexual harassment, person-to-person crime is not much of a concern for tourists in Dubai.

Another thing tourists need to remember is that although Dubai is moderate and open to Westerners, it is not a democratic society.
