France is a super popular travel destination. It’s a big country with a huge variety between the different areas in terms of history, culture, and scenery. Brittany is a region in the northwest of the country with a distinct identity and atmosphere. There’s plenty of beautiful coastline, as well as the most picturesque towns you can imagine. Here are just three that would make ideal vacation destinations.

Perros-Guirec

This charming seaside town is located along the Pink Granite Coast which is a stunning area, with brilliantly blue water which surrounds the pale pink granite boulders and islands which are covered in luscious greenery. Perros-Guirec is the perfect place to access coastal walks or simply sit on the beach and enjoy the views, and the sweet town center is ideal for wandering around and soaking in the ambiance. 

Fougères

The new town area of Fougères is nice to walk through and has plenty of shops and restaurants. However, if you head up the hill to the old town then you’ll be transported back in time. The winding medieval streets with cobbled stones gradually lead to the old church and then to the huge old castle with its walls and ramparts to wander through. There are lovely parks in which you can rest and take in the lovely views. 

Pont-Scorff

Built along the river Scorff this sweet old town is the perfect balance of pretty buildings and streets with the beautiful nature and greenery around it. You can learn about the interesting history of the town and the area while wandering through, and there’s also an exciting art scene to discover.

The Azores are an archipelago in the Atlantic Sea and one of the autonomous regions of Portugal. Located about 1400 km west of Lisbon, these islands are very different from mainland Europe and a very popular travel destination. If you want to plan a trip to somewhere incredible, then the Azores could be perfect. Here are some reasons why. 

Stunning Views

There are various nicknames for the Azores including the ‘Hawaii of Europe’ and the ‘island of colors’ which help to explain just how beautiful it is there. Sparkling turquoise waters surround the volcanic islands which are exploding with trees and plants to create the most vibrant mixture of colors and textures which are impossible to get bored of. 

Perfect for Hiking

The hilly islands are ideal for trekking across to enjoy the unbelievable views and to feel completely one with nature. If you’re willing to hike out into the wilderness then you’ll be rewarded with secluded natural pools with thermal springs and waterfalls. You can simply sit and take in the serene area or take a plunge into the reviving waters. 

Lovely Chilled Atmosphere

As well as enjoying the wonders of nature, there are so many ways to simply rest and relax on the islands. There are plenty of idyllic coastal villages and hidden towns, where you’ll find super friendly people and some seriously delicious local food and drink.

Europe is an amazing continent with a huge variety of people and cultures and a broad range of landscapes. Czechia, also known as the Czech Republic, is a landlocked country in central Europe. Its capital city Prague is a popular destination for vacations and traveling, but once you leave the towns and cities the Czech countryside is pretty spectacular. The Krkonoše National Park is a stunning mountain range in the north, and here’s why you should plan a trip there. 

A Unique Natural Place

This mountain range is the highest in Czechia, with its tallest mountain Sněžka standing at 1603 meters and offering incredible views from the top. There are other incredible hikes to take to experience the beauty of these mountains, with relaxed trails through the forest or treks across wildflower meadows, as well as thrilling ridge walks and steep, rocky ascents. 

Amazing Connection With Water

There is a popular trail for hiking which takes you to the Labský důl Valley where you will find a natural spring. This is the source of one of the biggest rivers in Czechia, the Elbe River, and is a magical place to visit. Within this valley region, you’ll also find Czechia’s highest waterfall, the Pančavský Waterfall which has a drop of 250 meters.

Perfect Any Time of the Year

This national park is super popular in the winter months with skiers and other snow sports enthusiasts due to the deep snow and perfect slopes. However, if you head here in Summer or Spring you can enjoy the luscious greenery and fresh life, and in fall you can witness the turning of the seasons and the colorful trees.

Fantasizing about a luxurious vacation but don’t want to blow all your cash? No worries—this list has got your back, so hurry up and save it to your browser’s favorites. Here are some awesome cheaper alternatives to famously fancy spots. Get ready to live your best life—on a budget.

Alonissos, Greece (instead of Santorini)

Why spend a ton of money on Santorini when you can visit Alonissos? It’s like Santorini’s cheaper cousin, with picture-perfect beaches, cute little villages, and yummy Greek eats. Plus, this island offers a close look at amazing wildlife and various endangered animal species.

Gili Islands, Indonesia (instead of the Maldives)

The Maldives are great—if you can afford it. But if not, the Gili Islands will provide a cheaper, no less worthy alternative. It offers crystal-clear waters, snorkeling for days, and the island vibes you so desperately crave—all without overbudgeting on fancy resorts. Maldives, who?

Porto, Portugal (instead of Bordeaux, France)

Who needs Bordeaux when you can sip on quality local wine in Porto? This lovely European city offers similar historic charm, Insta-worthy views, and buzzing nightlife—all without draining your bank account. Kind of perfect, huh?

With a rich cultural heritage and extensive list of architectural masterpieces, Rome is one of the most popular travel destinations in the world for a reason. Historic landmarks like the Colosseum and Trevi Fountain attract millions of visitors from around the globe each year, but they’re far from all the Italian capital has to offer. If you’re planning a trip to The Eternal City in the near future, read on to learn more about some underrated attractions worth adding to your itinerary. 

Museo della Cucina

Most of us are aware that Rome is famous for its food, but did you know that the city is actually home to a dedicated food museum? In the neighborhood of Trastevere, visitors can learn all there is to know and gain a new appreciation for Italian culinary tradition through interactive exhibits, tastings, and works of art. Take a guided tour, then head to a nearby osteria and put your knowledge to the test.

Villa Borghese Gardens

Escape the hustle and bustle of the city without actually leaving the center with a stop by Villa Borghese, an expansive landscape garden within walking distance from the Spanish Steps. As the third-largest public park in Rome, Villa Borghese is home to a curated collection of sculptures and other attractions, including a zoo. Take a stroll and check out all of the different works, or rent a rowboat and spend an afternoon relaxing on the lake. 

Capitoline Museums

While the Roman Forum and Colosseum tend to steal the historical spotlight, the Capitoline Museums offer a more intimate glimpse into Rome’s ancient past. Located atop the Capitoline Hill in Piazza del Campidoglio, these museums are considered some of the oldest in the world and house an extensive collection of ancient Roman art and artifacts. Tickets start at €11.50 for adults, though discounts are available for RomaPass holders.

Alonissos, Greece (instead of Santorini)

Why spend a ton of money on Santorini when you can visit Alonissos? It’s like Santorini’s cheaper cousin, with picture-perfect beaches, cute little villages, and yummy Greek eats. Plus, this island offers a close look at amazing wildlife and various endangered animal species.

Gili Islands, Indonesia (instead of the Maldives)

The Maldives are great—if you can afford it. But if not, the Gili Islands will provide a cheaper, no less worthy alternative. It offers crystal-clear waters, snorkeling for days, and the island vibes you so desperately crave—all without overbudgeting on fancy resorts. Maldives, who?

Porto, Portugal (instead of Bordeaux, France)

Who needs Bordeaux when you can sip on quality local wine in Porto? This lovely European city offers similar historic charm, Insta-worthy views, and buzzing nightlife—all without draining your bank account. Kind of perfect, huh?

With a rich cultural heritage and extensive list of architectural masterpieces, Rome is one of the most popular travel destinations in the world for a reason. Historic landmarks like the Colosseum and Trevi Fountain attract millions of visitors from around the globe each year, but they’re far from all the Italian capital has to offer. If you’re planning a trip to The Eternal City in the near future, read on to learn more about some underrated attractions worth adding to your itinerary. 

Museo della Cucina

Most of us are aware that Rome is famous for its food, but did you know that the city is actually home to a dedicated food museum? In the neighborhood of Trastevere, visitors can learn all there is to know and gain a new appreciation for Italian culinary tradition through interactive exhibits, tastings, and works of art. Take a guided tour, then head to a nearby osteria and put your knowledge to the test.

Villa Borghese Gardens

Escape the hustle and bustle of the city without actually leaving the center with a stop by Villa Borghese, an expansive landscape garden within walking distance from the Spanish Steps. As the third-largest public park in Rome, Villa Borghese is home to a curated collection of sculptures and other attractions, including a zoo. Take a stroll and check out all of the different works, or rent a rowboat and spend an afternoon relaxing on the lake. 

Capitoline Museums

While the Roman Forum and Colosseum tend to steal the historical spotlight, the Capitoline Museums offer a more intimate glimpse into Rome’s ancient past. Located atop the Capitoline Hill in Piazza del Campidoglio, these museums are considered some of the oldest in the world and house an extensive collection of ancient Roman art and artifacts. Tickets start at €11.50 for adults, though discounts are available for RomaPass holders.
