There’s no shortage of beautiful cities in Europe. Unfortunately, the beauty of some cities is now so famous that they are plagued by mass tourism. But there are still many cities in Europe that the tourists don’t know about. A few of them also happen to be as stunning as some of the hotspots. Read about them here!

Aarhus Lives In Copenhagen’s Shadow

Copenhagen is thought of by many to be the jewel of Denmark. And while the capital city certainly has its treasures, it’s far from the only city in the Scandinavian country that’s worth visiting. Copenhagen is beautiful, but tourists from all around the world know that. Aarhus, on the other hand, flies under the radar. Aarhus, located on the east coast of the Jutland Peninsula, is known as Denmark’s second city—a city that tourists should visit instead of its more popular counterparts. It has stunning architecture as well as natural wonders, like its charming beaches and coastal views. One of the most scenic and Instagram-worthy destinations in the city is the ARoS Aarhus Art Museum. In addition to the wonderful displays of art, you’ll also find a rainbow panorama walkway that adds to the city’s fun and colorful vibe. RELATED: 10 Things To Do In Copenhagen If You're On A Budget

Avoid The Crowds In Italy’s Turin

Several Italian cities have sadly been compromised by large numbers of tourists in recent years. While the sights in Venice and Rome are mesmerizing, anybody who wants to see them will have to battle it out with thousands of other tourists. If you want to visit Italy but don’t want to deal with infinite tourists, give Turin a chance. Still popular with tourists, the northern city receives far fewer visitors than other Italian cities while still offering stunning vistas. Turin is known for its baroque architecture and features several prominent landmarks that are worth adding to your itinerary. It also features a backdrop of snow-capped mountains, adding to its natural beauty. Called Torino in Italian, Turin is the capital of the Piedmont region. You don’t have to venture to Rome or Florence to absorb Italian art and history—Turin is home to the Basilica di Superga, the Castello di Rivoli Museum of Contemporary Art, and the Royal Palace of Turin.

Travelers Forget About Bosnia’s Sarajevo

Tourists don’t just forget about Sarajevo when planning trips to Europe. They tend to overlook Bosnia in general, despite the country’s outstanding natural landscape and historic towns. Sarajevo has experienced a turbulent history, but the marks left behind by periods of unrest actually make the city more unique.

Walking through Sarajevo can often feel like you’ve stepped back in time, especially while in areas like the old market quarter known as Baščaršija. There are a number of charming cafes to dine at in the district, although many travelers are content with strolling through the spice stalls.

One of the coolest tourist highlights is the Latin Bridge, which is as historically significant as it is beautiful. The Ottoman bridge was where the Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria was assassinated, an event sparked the beginning of the First World War. Another amazing sight is the Sarajevo Tunnel, an underground tunnel that hosts its own war museum.

Wroclaw Is The Unheard Of Polish City You Need To Visit

Poland doesn’t receive as many visitors as western European nations like France or Spain, but cities like Warsaw and Krakow do still receive high numbers of tourists. Wroclaw, by comparison, is an unheard-of Polish city that you need to add to your bucket list. Located in the country’s west, Wroclaw lies on the banks of the Oder River. It is a hub of captivating architecture and even won the title of European Capital of Culture in 2016. One of the best photo opportunities is the superb Panorama of Racławice which portrays the Polish triumph over the Russian army in 1794. Other fantastic photo opportunities in Wroclaw include the Penitent Bridge, which can be seen between the towers of the Mary Magdalene Church, and the regal Centennial Hall. You’ll also have the chance to absorb the city’s charming feel in the Gothic Old Town. RELATED: 10 Best Places To Visit When You Travel To Poland

Swap Budapest For Debrecen, Hungary

There’s no denying the beauty of Budapest. But for those who want to experience Hungary without the huge numbers of tourists, consider adding Debrecen to your itinerary. The less-crowded alternative, Debrecen is home to several admirable monuments including Grand Hotel Aranybika and Calvinist Great Church.

You’ll also find several other churches in Debrecen as well as museums, town squares, and other photogenic locations. Be sure to check out the Dèri Museum, housed in a marvelous baroque building.

Those looking for the unique beauty of Debrecen should visit the Old Town, which boasts a selection of cafes and historic sites. Budapest is famous for its spas, but Debrecen also hosts a few smaller-scale spas where you can benefit from the natural thermal waters.
