Discover Off-The-Beaten-Path Europe
Have you already been to Europe a couple of times and, after checking the most popular destinations, you’re now ready to explore the best secret spots? Or is it your first time in Europe but you feel reluctant just to tick off the places everyone else has been to? Either way, Europe is filled with lesser-known destinations to discover and enjoy.
The Untouched Beauty of The Baltics
Europe has no shortage of yet-to-be-discovered countries that never fail to amaze travelers who go the extra mile to visit them. A fine example is the Baltic region, namely Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania. Graced with UNESCO-listed capitals, spectacular nature, and fascinating history, these three countries have all those elements that can render your next European trip unique.
Slovenia’s Breathtaking Nature
Similarly, Slovenia is yet another European destination that is patiently waiting to be discovered by US visitors. Slovenia sits at the crossroads of Italy, Austria, Hungary, and Croatia and is often considered the country with the most beautiful natural landscapes in Europe, Slovenia is worth adding to your itinerary visiting neighboring countries, or basing your whole trip around.
The Balkans Beyond Croatia
The Balkans include some of the most underrated countries in Europe, with many destinations rivaling the charms of popular Croatia. Montenegro & Bosnia boast stunning nature that ranges from dramatic mountains to glistening beaches. Romania is a castle-hunter’s paradise, while Bulgaria features an unparalleled blend of Western and Eastern European culture, reflected also in its mouthwatering cuisine.
Swim Against The Tide in Europe’s Hotspots
But it’s not just the lesser-known countries that help you get to know the secret side of Europe. Popular destinations, such as Spain, Portugal, and France, have a lot more in store than just their capitals and major cities and that’s true for even seemingly oversaturated countries, like Italy or Greece. Spain’s Bilbao, one of the most laid-back places to visit in the Spanish Basque Country, Portugal’s Evora, Italy’s regions of Puglia and Sicily beyond tourist hotspot Taormina, Greece’s Peloponnese, and Lyon in France are only a tiny sample of the hidden gems that await in the most popular European countries.
Delve into Central Europe, Beyond Its Capitals & Major Cities
In Central Europe, look beyond Prague, Vienna, and Krakow and get ready to immerse yourselves in the local vibes of Brno, Graz, and Wroclaw instead. These university cities offer a more authentic version of each country yet are rich in impressive sights and things to do.
Whether you’re looking for a strictly off-the-beaten-path trip across Europe or prefer a combination of famous and lesser-known spots, rest assured that JayWay Travel will come up with the perfect itinerary for you, a journey to cherish for life.
