A British man who has visited more than 50 cities in Europe has revealed where he thinks is the most underrated.
Scott, who shares his travel views on his Instagram (@scottvisits), describes the cities on his list as ‘the best’ and ‘most underrated’ in Europe.
The intrepid traveller has visited every country in the continent and previously revealed which country he thinks has the friendliest people.
But where are Europe’s most underrated city breaks?
Mostar in Bosnia and Herzegovina is Europe’s sixth most underrated city, according to Scott.
Located in the south of the country, it’s best-known for the iconic Stari Most bridge, which is a reconstructed medieval Ottoman bridge. Scott describes it as the ‘most breathtaking world heritage site’.
An annual diving competition is hosted in July and it’s a tradition for the town’s young men to attempt the jump.
Next on Scott’s ranking is Annecy in France, which the traveller dubs the ‘Venice of the Alps’.
The Europe fan says he loves Annecy’s ‘stunning cobblestone lanes and perfect lakes’.
An alpine town in southern France, Annecy’s colourful buildings and canals make it a popular spot for Instagrammers.
Ksamil in Albania lands just outside Scott’s top three most underrated cities, in position four on the ranking.
The traveller describes it as ‘The European Maldives on a budget’ which has ‘the most beautiful coastline’.
Part of Albania’s Butrint National Park, Ksamil’s crystal-clear water and cheap prices make it the ideal spot for a beach break on a budget.
Next on the podium is Bled in Slovenia which is a ‘real life fairytale’, according to Scott. He dubs it ‘one of the most peaceful places in the world’.
The traveller adds that it’s ‘the most incredible spot with mirror-like lakes and so much more’.
Bled is best-known for its lake which has an island with the picturesque Church of the Assumption of Mary in the middle of it.
Tivat, a seaside spot in Montenegro, is Europe’s second-most underrated city, according to Scott.
The UK traveller dubs it ‘the budget version of Monaco’ adding that the ‘ultimate luxury location’ has ‘so much to see and do’.
Tivat is located in Montenegro’s pretty Bay of Kotor with a multimillion dollar harbour that’s often packed with luxury superyachts.
And the most underrated city in Europe?
That coveted accolade goes to Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia. Scott claims it’s the ‘cleanest, safest’ and ‘most unreal place’. He adds that it’s a ‘true hidden gem that you must visit’ with ‘no crowds’.
One commenter ‘evaflerin’ who said she was from Slovenia, writes: ‘I am so happy to hear that. It really is a little hidden gem.’
Another person ‘dialaibrahim’ says: ‘Slovenia is a peaceful country and has many wonderful places to visit and most importantly the Slovenians are friendly, nice and welcoming.’
