We visited 25 places across Europe in one year — and in this video, we’re ranking them BEST to WORST.
Not based on hype. Not based on Instagram popularity. But on what it’s actually like to be there.
From famous cities that didn’t live up to expectations, to hidden gems in Europe we’d go back to in a heartbeat, this is our most honest ranking of European places yet.
We’re sharing: - Overrated cities in Europe that surprised us (and not in a good way) - Truly underrated European destinations most travelers skip - Less crowded European cities that still feel authentic
Places that are perfect if you want to explore Europe without crowds.
What makes a city worth visiting beyond pretty photos
If you’re looking for: - Off the beaten path Europe - Quiet European destinations - Uncrowded cities in Europe
Or alternatives to the same over-touristed European cities…
This video is for you.
We’ve spent more than two years traveling across Europe, and this ranking reflects real experiences — not travel brochure promises. Some places lived up to the hype. Some absolutely didn’t. And a few completely surprised us. Whether you’re planning a future trip, considering longer stays, or just love discovering alternative European cities, we hope this helps you travel Europe more intentionally — and enjoy it more.
