Hooty Hoo! That is the sound of adventure that shouts this summer, and we all know that there is no better place to jump to land around land than Europe.
Whether it concerns picturesque train rides, island spring boats or fast, cheap flights, Europe is the ultimate summer playground to turn your boss the bird and put your well -deserved PTO to work.
Instead of following the crowd to Paris or convincing Spanish locals, you will be in peace, why would you not venture to the lesser -known to make more authentic experiences?
There are 4 emerging cities that I have in mind, already see a considerable influx into visitors who enter the summer, but none of them will feel overly pressure as you would find with the sunbires that have been collected outside the Eiffel Tower, Colosseum or Parthenon.
These 4 surprising European cities are rising in popularity:
Tuzla sees torrent of tourists
Let’s start with the least known of the quad. Tuzla, Bosnia and Herzegovina (yes, that will be the only time that this article is spoken ‘Herzegovina’), sees a 67.9% increase in visitors Year-on-year.
For most travelers, Bosnia is outside the beaten track, but it is easier to reach than you might think with abundant flights to all 4 of the airports in the country. Wizz Air is even set to launch 9 new routes To Tuzla.
Moreover, those who want to escape from the record-breaking crowds of Croatia have one of Europe’s least known coastlines that is shockingly beautiful just outside the Croatian border on the Bosnia side in the city of Neum.
Google it. Don’t mention it.
As far as Tuzla, this underhyped city is a stunning destination in itself. Although it is not a beach town, see this city center the beautiful Pannonic salt lakesThey are fed by underground salt sources, even offering salt waterfalls – it is a lively urban oasis that you would not expect.
Beyond the lakes you will discover a picturesque old city that is lush with timeless squares, intriguing museums and sidewalk cafés that we all love throughout Europe.
Despite the new popularity, Tuzla is still remarkably affordable. Stay with 4-star Grand Hotel Tuzla for $ 65 or more saving by a guesthouse for less than $ 30.
The second largest city in Uncork Ireland
There has been a lot of hassle about the expensive prices of Dublin, especially for travelers. That is why less well -known cities such as Galway lose their “best kept secret” status and become more mainstream.
To throw Cork In the comparison too. The second largest city in Ireland had his Dear May ever To close spring.
The home base of amazing coasts probably flashed on your screensaver -drias, majestic castles and of course classic Irish pubs for a pint of GuinnessYou will forget that Dublin existed.
The most striking thing is that Ireland is certainly not a sunny beach outing, but the summer sees warmer weather and Extensive daylight until 10 p.m.So your beach days will apparently never end!
However, make sure that you set aside some time for Cork Summer Festivals, including:
- Cork Midsummer Festival
- Cork at a fork Fest
- Cork Harbor Festival
Come in, “or Hoos” is open!
Although it would not be a shock to see Copenhagen record numbers, but it is certainly for Aarhus (pronounced or pronounced), especially without direct flights from the US
Europeans have discovered the joys of Aarhus as May A warm month For this less well -known city.
Just like Cork, Aarhus is the second largest city of Denmark, which offers more a relaxed atmosphere than the hustle and bustle of Copenhagen, where you have to keep your head on a swivel to avoid a sea of cyclists.
Although Aarhus is certainly known for his bicycle -friendly streets, the lake is known as a pleasant walking through the charming old city, Dokk1 Harbourfront, and the must-visit Aros Aarhus Art MuseumFamous for his “Your Rainbow Panorama” walk on the roof with a beautiful view of the cityscape.
Just like Copenhagen, Aarhus is also the dream of a gourmet with Michelin restaurants and popular Aarhus Street Food Market, but if you are a budget traveler, you might want to look somewhere else …
“Elsewhere” means continuing to scroll.
Riga’s turnout to star
One of the cheapest destinations in Europe is increasing, and it has been for quite some time. Digital nomads have come here to save serious money and to work from cozy cafés in a city known as the ‘Paris of the Baltic States’.
But the work madness remotely does not stimulate tourism; Everyone wants to discover a European gem full of medieval charm and beautiful beaches in the summer in nearby Jūrmala.
Riga welcomed Almost 3 million visitors During the first 5 months of 2025, and it is largely based on how accessible and affordable it is to fly here.
According to KayakThere are several return flights from the east coast, such as New York City and Boston, for less than $ 500 this fall.
As soon as you arrive, you have part of the best architecture of Eastern Europe with the world’s highest concentration of Kunstnouveau buildings and a beautiful old city that is lush with picturesque squares, timeless paved streets and cathedrals with an postcard.
