We all have witnessed the power of social media and its ability to draw attention to new and exciting places. However, it goes without saying, certain countries tend to attract more tourism than others. Trends online often dictate these ‘popular tourist destinations,’ however, there’s something to be said for those lesser-known gems. These are 5 underrated destinations you must have on your travel list !
Fairly close to the city of Charleroi, the village of Landelies, Belgium exists in its own tiny, cozy world. Driving is the easiest way to get there, but there is also the train to get you to this beautiful relaxing place.
The ruins of Aulne Abbey are the main attraction of this rural spot. Founded around 637 A.D., the Abbey functioned first as a Benedictine monastery and then as a Cistercian monastery until the late 1700s, when it was burned by the French.
Sapa is a small mountain town in Lao Cai Province. It is located north of Hanoi and is extremely close to the Chinese border. It is a quiet Vietnamese town, home to different ethnic tribal groups known for their trekking.
Gdansk is one of Poland’s oldest cities and holds a special place in the country’s history. It was the location of the start of World War II and also the place where Communism in Central Europe started to crumble.
Beyond its impressive history, Gdansk actually has a number of large beaches that stretch along the coast, such as Stogi Beach with its white sands, expansive views of the sea, and calm, peaceful aura.

Siargao, this island is definitely on my underrated destinations list.
Filled with plenty of incredible health cafes, restaurants, and bars. Beautiful beaches, hotels and an amazing surf community. However, not overly crowded and populated with thousands of tourists. Now, due to social media and word of mouth, this island has become more popular in recent years.
Most people interested in traveling to Japan focus on Tokyo or Kyoto. While Nara is often overlooked, it has much of the same tourism activities as Kyoto but without the overwhelming crowds.
Nara has a number of beautiful gardens, ancient Buddhist temples, and shopping areas like Naramchi, an old neighborhood with wooden townhouses transformed into cafes and restaurants.
The deer of Nara Park have been designated a national treasure, and for good reason: there are over 1,200 free-roaming deer in the park, and they’ve become a symbol of the city.
