These places have so much to offer visitors.
But it’s a great big world out there, full of hidden gems and lesser-traveled locales.
So, redditoru/Hot-Vegetable3827asked, “Whichnot-so-popularcountry is a must-visit?”
Here’s what people said, including some members of the BuzzFeed Community.
“Hydra, Greece.
My wife and I just took a long Greek honeymoon.
One island we really liked that isn’t as well known as Santorini and Mykonos was Hydra.
In fact, it was probably our favorite island.
There isn’t much to do or see there, but it was very laid back and chill.
2.“Laos.
I totally fell in love with every last thing about this country.
The people are fantastic, the food is killer, and the landscape is just gorgeous.”
“Cartagena, Colombia.
My wife and I went last year, and we have already planned our next visit.
you’re free to get there pretty easily and quickly from the US.
There’s cheap and delicious street food, friendly people, and nice weather all year round.”
4.“Slovenia.
My wife was born there, and we go back every other year to see her family and friends.
It’s such a beautiful country.
The secret is starting to get out now, especially Instagrammable places like Lake Bled and Predjama Grad.
Granted, it’s still nowhere near as crowded as similar countries like Croatia.”
“Tunisia, especially Tunis and Monastir.
I absolutely love it there.
It’s very cheap to visit, and the people are incredibly friendly.”
6.“Curacao.
I had an amazing beach vacation there.
It was much cheaper than the more well-known and visited Caribbean islands.”
7.“Oman.
This Middle Eastern country has rugged mountains, desert dunes, historic forts, and amazing ships.”
I loved the food there, including lots of curry.
The beach areas offer a lot more culinary variety, like lots of fresh seafood.”
“Ghent, Belgium is an incredible city.
It’s vibrant, historic, and fun!
I would highly recommend a visit.”
10.“Malta.
There’s also extensive public transport, so it’s easy to get around if you don’t drive.
“Belfast is underrated, IMO.
Everyone I met in the city was funny and friendly.”
12.“Lyon.
Its a two-hour train ride from Paris but with a fraction of the population.
Its like the Florence of France with its walkability and world-class cuisine.”
13.“Kazakhstan.
Stunning nature and landscapes, a unique cuisine, and friendly people who are really generous to guests.
It’s also home to some fascinating archaeological sites.”
People who live in the US don’t realize how unique and beautiful the landscape is.
The drive from Espanola to Taos is probably one of my favorite in the world.
The food really is second to none.
Plus, there’s a Balloon Fiesta.
“I absolutely love Guatemala.
If you’re able to speak even a little bit of Spanish, it’s even better.
Fly in, leave Guatemala City, and make Antigua your base.
16.“Bolivia.
I haven’t been back in ten years, and I hope it’s still as lovely.
It holds a special place in my heart.”
17.“Jordan.
Petra is easily the coolest thing Ive ever seen with my own eyes.
Pictures do not do it justice at all.
You could fit elephants through the door of the Treasury.
18.“Mongolia.
There’s really only one big city, Ulan Bator, and one or two days there is enough.
It’s so beautiful.
“Sapporo, Japan.
The subway system is amazing, and the people are friendly and helpful.
We already vowed to go back someday.”
