Romania is one of the most underrated holiday destinations in Europe, but its popularity is fast rising. Considered to the most well-designed castles in Europe, Peles Castle is still quite unknown to tourists. Not for long, though. This Neo-Renaissance Gothic-style castle is attracting many eyeballs. Equally beautiful inside and outside, there are close to 170 rooms in the castle, with each one having a varied theme.

There’s also beautiful art, tapestries, rugs, furniture, arms, and armors. This collection further adds to the charm of the castle. So, if old castles are your thing, you can try Peles Castle, and you can also check out Romania. It has all the beauty Europe is famous for munis the crowds.

Ireland – Kylemore Abbey

A nation steeped in heritage and history, Ireland, just like Scotland, is blessed with amazing natural beauty. And set amidst this beauty is Kylemore Abbey. Built in the 1800s, it was meant to be a private home for Mitchell Henry. He built the home to be an ode to modernity, Ireland, and his beloved wife. Today, this quiet little place, just an hour away from Galway, is attracting peace-seekers.

Kylemore Abbey also has the largest walled garden in Ireland called Victorian Walled Garden. This is quite a romantic destination, where you can enjoy quiet meals at their cafe, buy gifts at the gift shop, or take walks along the lake. It is quite an experience.

Greece – Samos Kokkari

Tourism is on the rise in Greece, but there are still places like Samos Kokkari where you can enjoy the best of what Greece has to offer. This stunning island is like an awakening of the senses. Maybe this beauty is why the island produced historical geniuses like Pythagoras, Epicurus, and Aristarchus.

The fertile lands around the island grow a lot of vegetation, which you can taste in the cuisine. Samos-Kokkari is a wonderful island vacation, full of undisturbed beauty and peace that make for the perfect vacation.

Italy – Civita di Bagnoregio

This volcanic city is set atop a hill and is only connected by a narrow stone road that further narrows down to a walkway. The city is many times referred to as the dying city, as many locals are leaving it. But many rich Italians are buying up the properties. This place is perfect for a day visit.

You get stunning panoramic views from the city, and the city’s architecture is untouched by the Renaissance. Therefore, the city looks like a medieval time capsule. Civita di Bagnoregio is virtually unknown, so be the first to explore it.

Germany – Rothenburg

When you think of Germany, you think of ultra-modern cities connected by the Autobahn, on which amazing German cars race each other. Well, you’d be right for the most part. But there are also towns like Rothenburg that look like it is straight out of an ancient fairytale.

The town has fountains, restored homes, cobblestone roads, cute street signs, and large bay windows. You will not feel like you are in modern Germany, but rather, in a town, that time forgot.

Portugal – Faial Island

Faial Island is famously known as Blue Island. It is home to only 15,000 inhabitants, making it a peaceful island. Most homes are painted in various shades of blue, hence, the name. The beaches have soft sand, and the sunset view is unforgettable.

This idyllic place is still not very well known, so plan a vacation here and enjoy the virgin beauty of Faial Island.

These are some of the best-hidden gems of Europe. In a few years, these places will start seeing swathes of tourists, so now is the time to get a jump on things and take a European vacation like no other.
