Creator's Key Takeaways

there are almost 50 countries in Europe and I think a lot of people just don't realize how many other unique destinations exist that offer just as much charm and value as these other tourist hotspots

Krakow was the only major city in Poland that wasn't reduced to Rubble during World War II its Church spire and Monument studded Old Town holds its own against any European city

Bucharest is nicknamed little Paris which means you've got a lot of that same Western European charm here but with little waiting times little price tags and little tourists

if you're adamant about going to Greece this summer then consider visiting the other Greek Islands instead of mikonos and sorini which you can be sure will be overrun by tourists

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“If visiting popular countries in summer, do a road trip and spend time in smaller towns between big cities
โœ“Visit Malta in early September to experience local village festas and Victory Day
โœ“When visiting Montenegro, book lodging in a different town than Kotor Bay to avoid cruise ship crowds
