Giethoorn, Netherlands – The "Venice of the North" without the crowds
Why go: This idyllic, car-free village is crisscrossed by canals and footbridges. You’ll float past thatched-roof cottages in a whisper boat and enjoy peaceful scenery far from the bustle of Amsterdam.
Matera, Italy – Ancient cave dwellings reborn as boutique hotels and restaurants
Why go: Built into limestone cliffs, this city of “Sassi” is one of the oldest continuously inhabited places on Earth. It’s now a cultural hotspot after a dramatic revitalization.
Snaefellsnes Peninsula, Iceland – A microcosm of everything Iceland has to offer
Why go: You’ll find black sand beaches, lava fields, glacier-capped volcanoes, and charming fishing towns—all in one day. It’s Iceland’s “hidden” scenic route, perfect for self-drivers.

Sintra, Portugal – A whimsical world of palaces, gardens, and misty hills
Why go: Just outside Lisbon, Sintra feels magical, with its colorful palaces (like Pena Palace), Moorish ruins, and forested estates like Quinta da Regaleira—with underground tunnels and secret symbolism.
Kotor, Montenegro – A medieval gem tucked into a fjord-like bay
Why go: With its Venetian walls, mountain switchbacks, and turquoise waters, Kotor blends Balkan history with Adriatic beauty—and is still relatively under the radar compared to Dubrovnik.
