50 most underrated tourist spots in the world

Adventurers are all about finding and following the path less traveled, so it’s only fitting that they’re always looking for the best destinations that most people don’t know about. Underrated places might offer lower prices and shorter lines; they can also be less overdeveloped and offer the thrill of going somewhere relatively undiscovered.

The more popular a place is, the more crowded and commercialized it becomes. This is often a deal-breaker for international tourists who want an adventurous and authentic experience. Your boots won’t be the first to come through these areas, but you’ll be one of the few to truly enjoy the best of what these bucket list destinationshave to offer. Just because these locations aren’t the top tourist destinations in the world doesn’t mean they don’t have amazing quests in store for travelers willing to pick the road less traveled.
