can be equal parts exhausting and exhilarating. It can feel like there are so many possibilities and options to choose from that it feels hard to pick. Do you go with the time-honored classics? Or do you branch out and head off the beaten path and discover something new?“What are some underrated places that really surprised you?” and travelers shared their best stories.
Plovdiv, Bulgaria, the oldest continuously inhabited city in Europe at 8000 years old, it's got so many Roman ruins that half of them aren't even marked on the tourist map. The Hague, Netherlands. Another boring European city? Perhaps. But the architecture, both old and new, museums, the food, and the cleanliness of the city blew me away.
I really love Bruges, Belgium! Quick train from Brussels. Was there for work but made a little trip out of it. Friendly people, good food, old charm.Taipei is grossly under-rated. It's a fascinating city, with lots to see and do. The National Palace Museum, for instance, is one of the world's great museums but is fairly obscure. The food is excellent, and there's a great local arts and creative scene. Taipei also has excellent public transport, so it's easy to get around.
Coba, in quintana roo, Mexico. Just over an hour away from tulum, but a whole other world. Gorgeous Mayan ruins with almost no tourists, all the community extremely friendly and polite, all of them speaking yucatec Mayan. In the middle of the jungle, really. Good traditional food like tacos and cochinita pibil. I really wish I'd stayed longer, though there's not so much to do there besides the ruins. Would go back in a heartbeat, really felt like community.
Turin, Italy. Gorgeous town in the foothills of the Alps with amazing food and a regional coffee specialty - bicerin- which involves chocolate & hazelnut cream. I don’t think it gets enough attention, maybe because Italy has so many great places.Originally only planned to pass through on the way from Oaxaca to Guatemala, loved it so much I decided to stay and build a community 🤩.
Slovenia. Currently here and half way through my 2 week trip. I’m at 30 countries and this is hands down the most picturesque place I’ve ever been.
