  1. Amsterdam? Try Rotterdam. Yes, Valencia is much better than overrated Barcelona. Italy? So many choices, try Palermo, Otranto. No to Glasgow: Edimburgh gets the price any time.

  2. As a person living in Slovenia, I can confirm it's packed with places to visit. Having been to most major places in Europe, my favorite part to travel is Belgium and the Netherlands. Also Lisbon is super cute for a short vacation.

  3. Strongly disagree with Ghent over Brugge. Ghent felt like a busy, corporate, working city, whereas Brugge is a romantic, scenic, and laid back city. Sure Brugge is busy but it's justified, and I'd gladly go back still.

  4. You only add to unhealthiness and misery of Europe by "staying at an apartment we rent by a local family"🤮🤮🤮 All you ignorant and irresponsible tourists with your short rents brought this SICK situation of rent inflation and homelessness across Europe's cities. Go get informed and then make videos on yt for f…s sake

  5. Lovely suggestions, and I agree with most of them. However, Madeira has become remarkably crowded in recent years. It seems to appear on the list of nearly every European outdoor magazine these days, and some of the hiking trails have grown so busy that visitors now have to pay an access fee.

    That said, Ljubljana remains one of my absolute favourite cities in Europe — graceful, relaxed, and wonderfully liveable.

  6. From my experience, Barcelona is unnecessary. Paris is beautiful but the food is not tasty. Rome is both beautiful and has excellent food. In any case, Eastern Europe, a safari in Africa, or the Far East is preferable.

  7. So many places in Brugge to visit where literally not a single tourist comes and these are the best places.
    They just don't have any shops or food places. Makes me wonder what tourists actually come for here.

  8. You could make a video in 10 seconds saying don't go on vacation just to capital cities / hot spots / main attractions. Even better if you search Google for weird / strange places. However, Ljubljana is definitely the most popular destination in Slovenia lol, it doesn't fit the logic of the whole video, even though it is certainly a beautiful and nice place.

    Bansko, for example, is also MEGA advertised everywhere… soon people from expensive countries will raise the price level of Bansko to the sky… It would be worth taking a train to different parts of Bulgaria without any prejudice, even when train tickets are 10 times cheaper than in Western Europe. Hopefully, the transition to the euro won't raise the price level in Bulgaria, at least not much.

  9. Hahh Madeira… you're right, it's a beautiful island, but unfortunately it has also fallen victim to mass tourism. It's only okay if you go in October-November or during the winter months, otherwise the crowds are a real nightmare.
