12 Hidden Underrated Travel Destinations Always People Miss
Want to visit amazing destinations that are off the beaten path? Travelers gave away their best-kept secrets in a recent online forum discussion. The following spots were not very well known but took visitors’ breath away.
Akshardham Temple: Delhi, India
According to one commenter, “Most people just stop by Delhi on their way to Agra to see the Taj Mahal so it gets overlooked. It is one of the most beautiful and places I have ever seen, and beaming with Hindu and Indian culture!”
Herculaneum: Campania, Italy
Most people have heard of the historical site of Pompeii, where ancient Roman people are frozen in ash after the Mount Vesuvius volcano erupted. One visitor said, “Not sure it’s truly overlooked, but Herculaneum is less well known than its illustrious neighbor, Pompeii, but I actually enjoyed it more.”
Musee Rodin: Paris, France
“Definitely not the first thing you think of as a tourist but holy **** is it a bad *** museum. Highly recommend,” said one user. This Paris museum is dedicated to the prolific artist Auguste Rodin, who is most famous for his sculpture ‘The Thinker’.
Choquequirao: Cusco, Peru
Choquequirao is the lesser-known ancient Incan site about an hour from Macchu Picchu in Peru. One visitor said, “This place is completely slept on and the fact that you can be one of 10 people there at a time is incredible.”
Teatro Marcello: Rome, Italy
“It was in none of the lists, only found it on my long walk on my last day in Rome. Crazy that it’s older than the Colosseum!” said one user. This theater was built in 15 BC as a place to watch drama and musical performances.
Palau de la Música Catalana: Barcelona, Spain
Palau de la Música Catalana is a concert hall with incredibly majestic architecture. One traveler said, “People go to the Gaudi attractions and the beach, deservedly so, but this place is so epic. We did a self-guided tour and the interior was so ornate and grand. It’s especially awesome to hear the organ play an awe-inspiring piece every 30 minutes.”
Sainte-Chapelle: Paris, France
“So many people who stop at Notre Dame in Paris skip over Sainte-Chapelle, even though they’re just a few minutes’ walk apart,” said one commenter. This incredible cathedral is filled with detailed, colorful stained glass at every turn.
Waterton: Calgary, Canada
Waterton is home to a beautiful national park, majestic mountains, and the deepest lake in the Canadian Rockies. One user said, “Most people who come to Calgary go see the mountains in Banff, but Waterton is south and is like Banff without tourists.”
Lan Ha Bay: Vietnam
Lan Ha Bay in Vietnam features striking green-covered limestone mountains dotting the beautiful blue water of the bay alongside white sandy beaches. One visitor said, “Skip Ha Long Bay. Do Lan Ha Bay instead. Same views, barely any tourists, no cruise ships.”
City Park: New Orleans, Louisiana
“Most people that go to New Orleans stay in the French Quarter, but the city park has a great art museum. There’s also a Cafe du Monde there that is way less busy. A local also told me there beignets are better,” said one traveler.
Lynn Canyon Suspension Bridge: Vancouver, Canada
One Vancouver local said, “People flock to the privately owned and operated Capilano Suspension Bridge. Admittedly they do a lot of advertising and have a free shuttle from downtown. Meanwhile, the also impressive Lynn Canyon Suspension Bridge, which is part of a free public park, often gets ignored.”
The Hypogeum: Malta
“It’s an underground structure carved by hand thousands of years ago and is older than the pyramids. It goes down several levels and includes a room that is so acoustically perfect that echos come back louder than the original sound. No one knows who built it – or how – and it is a highlight of any trip to Malta,” said one traveler.
