Best European Travel Dupes
Alternative destinations across Europe.
How we ranked this
Limited to Europe and the Caucasus, ranked by how strongly each one matches its famous Western European or Greek counterpart.
Alternative to Santorini 🇬🇷
Albania
The closest thing Europe has to a Greek-island dupe.
Alternative to Croatia (Dubrovnik) 🇭🇷
Bosnia and Herzegovina
Old-world Balkan charm at a fraction of coastal Croatia's prices.
Alternative to The Amalfi Coast 🇮🇹
Montenegro
A bay dramatic enough to stand in for the Amalfi Coast.
Alternative to Switzerland 🇨🇭
Georgia
Technically at Europe's edge, and worth the stretch for alpine scenery this good.
Alternative to The French Alps 🇫🇷
Bulgaria
Ski slopes that undercut the French Alps without much sacrifice in quality.
Alternative to Bavaria, Germany 🇩🇪
Romania
Bavaria's castles-and-forests aesthetic, minus the price tag.
