Unknown Towns In Europe That You Are Going To Love

Some are just villages, others are actually small towns. But each of them has something that makes it special. If you want to take a different trip, come with us. We take you to unknown towns in Europe, towns that you may not have heard of, but that will make you fall in love.

1. Unknown peoples of Europe : Ostuni, Italy

In the heart of Apulia, the “heel” of Italy, is this beautiful town of whitewashed houses, steep slopes and alleys that are a real labyrinth. You will get lost for them, sure, but you won’t mind because magic envelops every corner of Ostuni. And, there is more: an almost virgin coastline of cliffs, beaches and small coves.

2. Neringa, Lithuania

We go to the Curonian Spit, to the cold waters of the Baltic. There we find one of those unknown towns in Europe perfect to disconnect. In Neringa tranquility and silence reign in the midst of postcard corners, from its colorful houses to endless beaches or dunes that have little to envy those of any desert.

3. Hollókö, Hungary

They say it is the most beautiful town in Hungary. And of course, visiting it is like taking a trip back in time. A village that is more like an open-air museum in which you can see about 70 traditional houses. Its inhabitants continue to work wood as in the old days and it is also easy to see them in typical costumes. A delight.

3. Čičmany, Slovakia

Their houses are sure to catch your eye. All the houses are decorated with a varied repertoire of geometric figures,  which stand out against the dark color of the wood. It has its explanation, that is how it was about protecting the wood from the sun. At first, only the corners were painted, but over time all the facades were decorated.

4. Telč, Czech Republic

Its Plaza Mayor looks like a movie set. A square surrounded by picturesque Renaissance-style houses painted in pastel colors. And nearby we will come across a beautiful palace, an old Gothic castle also remodeled in the Renaissance style. A small but charming city that is shamelessly reflected in the ponds that surround it.

5. Trogir, Croatia

The city stands on an island linked to the mainland by a bridge. A small town with a medieval atmosphere where time seems to have stopped. They call it the “Venice of the Adriatic” because on the walk you will discover beautiful palaces that remind us of the Italian city. In fact, Trogir belonged to the Republic of Venice.

6. Oberammergau, Germany

A town in which the facades of its houses are canvases. In them you can see scenes from children’s stories, religious or typical motifs of the area. And you will be amazed by the beauty and elegance of those frescoes that have made this small town famous. A tradition that the painter Franz Seraph Zwinck started back in the 18th century.

7. Sønderho, Denmark

This small town is in the south of the island Fanø. A town founded in the 16th century that preserves its typical houses with thatched roofs and small gardens around them. Everything in it invites you to rest and relax: its houses, its unpaved streets or the beautiful landscapes of the island, where you will discover very long beaches, dunes and the occasional windmill.

8. Eze, France

If we say that there is a wonderful medieval town on the Côte d’Azur, you might be surprised. Eze has nothing to do with the typical image of this French coastal area. Built high on a hill, the streets of Eze are labyrinthine and steep, and its houses are beautiful examples of traditional Provence architecture. The luxury here is the views and the atmosphere that surrounds it.

9. Chipping Campden, England

We are going to the English countryside to discover a town with a curious name and a fairytale stamp. Its medieval houses made of honey-colored stone and thatched roofs will make you think that you have gone back in time or that you are on the stage of some nineteenth-century novel. And very close you can enjoy a whole series of beautifully preserved gardens.

10. Lanuza, Spain

This small town is special for its incredible location in the Tena Valley, in the Aragonese Pyrenees. Also because he “resurrected” thanks to the tenacity of his neighbors. It was abandoned because it was going to be under the waters of a reservoir. Finally, it was not like that and years later the neighbors managed to bring him back to life. This is how we end our tour of unknown towns in Europe. Did you like it?
