Bern, Switzerland -

The Swiss capital is oft-overlooked for cities like Zurich and Geneva. However, it's a university city with a lively outdoor restaurant, bar, and café scene.

Bern, Switzerland -

The cold, clean water of the Aare River is popular for swimming among locals during the summer, while sitting at the medieval Platz allows visitors to soak up the "un-Swiss" feeling of the city.

Just a short train journey away from Paris is the unpretentious and pretty center of Lille. Located on the French-Belgian border, this underrated city offers visitors a pleasant surprise.

Lille, France -

A Michelin-star restaurant and Flemish-inspired eateries are easy to come by in Lille. For culture, check out the contemporary art at Tripost, the modern art at LaM, or visit the Matisse Museum.

Appingedam, Netherlands -

Once a trade center of importance, Appingedam is a port city with a rich history. Admire the famous 'hanging kitchens,' of the houses here, similar to bay windows, suspended above the Damsterdiep canal.

Filled with historic buildings from the Middle Ages and later, it makes a beautiful setting for a city walk. Or take a break at one of the local museums, including the Museum Stad Appingedam and the Groninger Zilverkamer, which have extensive collections of Groningen silver on display.

I just read about Europe’s most underrated cities and agree with some of the picks! Places like Porto in Portugal have a chill vibe, with fantastic food and beautiful tiles everywhere. Plus, I think Sofia in Bulgaria is a hidden gem! The mix of history and modern life there is just excellent. You get this lovely feel of a city that is not overly touristy yet has much to offer.
And have you checked out Business Class Flights to Europe? They often have great deals that make flying comfy and affordable! I think it’s worth splurging a little on those flights for the experience. Anyway, if you get a chance to visit these cities, I bet you will fall in love with their charm.
