Being from Austria, I have to tell you that Salzburg is actually OVERcrowded with tourists all year round. Go to Graz instead or visit some of the numerous spectacular cloisters or castles or take in the varied landscape by train/car/bike.
Small cities like Krems, Baden, Steyr, Gmunden, Friesach, Hall, Feldkirch have lots of charm.

I gasped when I saw Lucerne and Salzburg on your list. Both these cities are overwhelmed with tourists. Salzburg also has a horrendous traffic problem, and despite it having a population of only 150, 000, is seriously considering building an underground railway. If I lived in Salzburg, I would support that project!

I'm getting sick of this flood of new YouTube channels that are using stock videos and AI generated narration (with louhginly wrong pronounciations). They are randomly listing 10, 20, 30 places, tools, cars etc. without any real-life 'substance'. And the YouTube keeps suggesting them. :-(

[jurek.nowicki]

Uppsala (Sweden), Bielsko-Biała (Poland), Sopron (Hungary), Trakai (Lithuania), Viljandi (Estonia), Plovdiv (Bulgaria), Bergamo (Italy), Nuremberg (Germany)

Portugal is my winner-good prices, mentality of people, gorgeus wines, transport-really amazing country.

[johnholt]

Part of video of Vilnius is actually Tallinn. The first shots of Segovia I think are Palermo in Sicily. Is a good list, I came back from Porto last week, it is beautiful.

[catarinamiranda]

Being a portuguese citizen and natural from Porto, it makes me very happy to see you included that city in the list! I would also recommend visiting Lisbon and the beaches from Algarve (south of the country)

Most of these places I’ve never heard of and I must say I’m fascinated. We went to Europe a couple of times but mainly stayed in Germany and Austria. My husbands family is from St. Earhardt(sp) near Graz, I believe. It was beautiful and I had a great time. I loved Salzburg and Zirl, also. I’m so glad you made this video because now I’m getting ideas for our next trip.

[Szandor]

The title is completely misleading... Hidden Europe? Most of them - if not all - are well known tourist spots.

[green_wire]

Europe is so beautiful🥰
I would add to the list:

Strasbourg, France
Freiburg, Germany

Well, I have to admit that these cities are hidden to me. For that reason, I'm very grateful you made this video. I think it was well done! Thank you so much.❤

[ivanavercevic]

Zadar - one of towns in Croatia that is very underrated, great for including it! But useful information, Adriatic is sea, not ocean, in Europe we take great care to differentiate those.

[danielacarlotti]

Italy: Bologna, Ferrara in Emilia Romagna, Mantova, Cremona in Lombardia, Perugia, Assisi, Gubbio, Orvieto, Spoleto in Umbria, Urbino in Marche, Lucca, Volterra, San Gimignano, Montepulciano, Monteriggioni, Pitigliano in Toscana, Viterbo, Bomarzo in Lazio, Pompei, Ercolano in Campania, Matera in Basilicata, Lecce, Ostuni, Polignano a mare in Puglia, Tropea in Calabria, Ragusa, Siracusa, Taormina in Sicilia

[funfff]

I spent 3 of my best years in my life in Lille. Always in my heart. Lovely city in all aspects!

[kantentv]

I was in Zadar in the summer and I love the City and the Adriasee is it so beadufull

[lyudmillamoscow]

Hello there! I'm an old lady from Mowcow. I really enjoyed your video. I've been to some European countries. France, Germany, England, all three Baltic countries. Bulgaria, of course. But most cities in your video are absolutely new for me. Of coirse, I've heard about them but never visited. That is why your video is just like a window into another Europe. Thank you very much indeed for your job.

You should try Bergamo in Italy. A really nice city whose airport is Ryanair's Milan airport. It has an upper city and a lower city connected by a funicular and if you're into shopping, one of Italy's biggest malls is a short walk from the airport. As at 10 June 2024 you can get a daytrip from Stansted airport for 32 quid.

[Feroxing]

Many of these are well know touristy places many times overwhelmed with tourism. I expected something less known.

[gammapepino]

that "Vilnius" drone footage at 20:50 is actually Tallinn !

[diekrahe]

My personal advice for an underrated city in germany = Görlitz. It was the only big city in germany (back then with over 100.000 population) that was not destroyed in the 2nd WW. So it has its great buildings, streets and architecture like Berlin in the 1920s still in tact. Its was also rated one of the most beautiful cities in germany many times, its just not popular enough to get the attention this city deserves.
