Europe is the world’s most-visited continent, but that doesn’t mean that there aren’t unknown countries in this group of diverse and beautiful nations. In fact, some countries are visited by fewer than 100,000 tourists per year!
If you are looking to add an under-the-radar European nation to your travel list, here are three great choices.
San Marino
San Marino, a micronation surrounded entirely by Italy, only has 33,400 residents and is visited by around 60,000 people per year. Mount Titano towers over the rest of the landscape, which is dotted with small towns and charming villages close to the Adriatic coast.
Liechtenstein
Do you love mountains? If so, it might be worth it for you to join the list of around 70,000 annual visitors to the microstate of Liechtenstein! This tiny country is nestled between Austria and Switzerland and is located entirely within the scenic boundary of the Alps and contains castles and alpine landscapes.
Moldova
Moldova has an unfair reputation of being drab and gloomy, something that is easily perceived when you see that only around 150,000 people enter its borders for tourism purposes annually. However, Moldova has a thriving wine scene, surviving relics of the Soviet Union, and a true old-world charm.
