There are still some trendy European neighborhoods out there that have managed to escape floods of tourists. Still unspoiled by mass tourism, these neighborhoods are hubs of food, culture, and art that are adored by locals. Check them out below!

Get Away From The Crowds In Rome’s Ostiense

Rome isn’t just one of the most popular tourist destinations in Italy. The Eternal City is one of Europe’s most-visited hotspots and is now a destination marked by overcrowding and chaos. While the areas around Rome’s famous landmarks are the worst when it comes to overtourism, there are still some neighborhoods that fly under the radar of many tourists. If you’re looking for a cool neighborhood in Rome that, for the most part, the tourists still don’t know about, try Ostiense. Straddling the Tiber, the neighborhood is named after a road that connected the Roman cattle market to the port town of Ostia in ancient times. With an industrial heritage, the neighborhood now boasts a selection of trend restaurants filled with locals, bustling bars, and a collection of university campuses. There are still historic sites in Ostiense that visitors can enjoy without hordes of crowds around them. One of the most notable is the St. Paul’s Outside the Walls Basilica which features ancient mosaics and an abbey dating back to the 13thcentury. RELATED: Why Rome Really Is Italy's Eternal City

You Don’t Have To Be A Student To Visit Brussels’ University Quarter

Even though the University Quarter is still easily accessible by public transport, many tourists in Brussels bypass it for the more famous areas of the Belgian city. Known as a hub of bars and boutiques that the population of students and young professionals approve of, the area is also home to elderly residents and migrant entrepreneurs seeking opportunities.

The main French and Flemish universities of Brussels are located in the area, in addition to a string of small businesses and an organic market that operates weekly. The University Quarter also pays homage to the city’s rich chocolate tradition by housing L’Alchimie du Chocolat, which has been running for nearly 20 years.

The University Quarter is the ideal place to enjoy a Brussels dining experience that isn’t marked by crowds of tourists. Another popular landmark in the area is the Cimitière d’alxelles, which hosts a collection of art nouveau tombstones.

Experience The Authentic Paris In South Pigalle

Thanks to mass tourism, some would argue that the City of Lights has become somewhat synthetic. No longer representing the real France, Paris suffers from the same problems as cities like Venice, Rome, and Barcelona, where the need to cater to crowds of tourists has taken away from the city’s authentic feel.

But there are still areas in Paris that haven’t been spoiled by tourists, including South Pigalle. Now affectionately known as SoPi, the neighborhood is full of trendy cocktail bars and gourmet shops where tourists can experience France’s real culinary scene—not the mass-produced, adapted and overpriced selections that you’ll often find elsewhere in Paris.

South Pigalle is the perfect place to absorb Paris from the comfort of outdoor street seating. People come to enjoy good food and watch others against a backdrop of tree-lined avenues.

Spend Your Summer In Powiśl, Warsaw

Warsaw is not on the same level as Paris and Rome as far as overtourism is concerned, but the up-and-coming city is still one of the most popular in Poland. A district that all travelers should check out is Powiśl, by the Vistula river. Thriving in the summer months, Powiśl is brimming with loud pubs and riverboats. It almost resembles a carnival thanks to the presence of live music, picnickers, and public sports such as roller-blading and volleyball. There is delicious street food on offer where visitors can sample traditional Polish specialties or international dishes, including Vietnamese pho soup. History enthusiasts will appreciate the way many local buildings still bear the burned marks of bombs that hit during the Second World War. There is also the fascinating Warsaw University Library located nearby. NEXT: 10 Best Places To Visit When You Travel To Poland
