Leave the battle with overtourism behind next year when you go on holiday in Europe and head to one of these 'overlooked destinations'.

That's the advice from Time Out, which has produced an eye-catching ranking of the 21 most underrated European destinations for 2025.

The influential guide says: 'This summer saw a series of anti-tourism demonstrations in European hotspots, as locals reached breaking point with years of overtourism; Amsterdam is cracking down on new hotels, Venice is set to double its tourist tax in 2025.

'So there's never been a better time to think outside the box for your travels – especially when so many incredible European spots are getting overlooked.'

It adds: 'These destinations have got everything you want from your next holiday, with the added bonus of far fewer people jostling to see the same attractions.'
