Heading to Europe for summer vacation? You’re certainly not the only one. In 2023, more than 700 million people visited the continent, many of whom booked trips during the peak summer season.<\/p>\n

Instead of fighting your way through the hordes at Europe’s most popular vacation destinations, you can visit more under-the-radar locales for a less crowded \u2014 and likely less expensive \u2014 experience.<\/p>\n

To help you find some inspiration for your next European adventure, we’ve put together this list of destination dupes for some of the region’s top vacation spots.<\/p>\n

Keep in mind that many of these alternative destinations aren’t total unknowns. Europeans are savvy travelers, so they’re probably already familiar with many of these places. Nor are they perfect copies of the spots they’re standing in for.<\/p>\n

But if we’ve encouraged you to take a trip somewhere you might not have been familiar with, we’ll consider our job done. Here are 11 great destination dupes in Europe for your trips this summer and beyond.<\/p>\n
