Popular travel search engine KAYAK has just put out its 2026 Travel Trends report, and boy, oh boy… when it comes to Europe’s emerging destinations for the year ahead, to say we’re surprised would be an understatement.

You probably grew up listening to stories about how Western Europe is the pinnacle of human development: safe and clean streets, an abundance of resources, beautiful architecture, and, of course, a fascinating culture. Meanwhile, Eastern Europe was the ‘bad cousin’, always fighting wars, decades behind in growth, and in a permanent communist chokehold—but oh, how …
Thinking of heading across the pond this summer, but the sight of the Paris, Rome, and Dubrovnik crowds keeps putting you off? “Low season” is now a non-existent concept across a majority of Europe’s top tourism spots, with certain parts of Spain going as far as seeing widespread anti-tourist protests—and these can easily turn aggressive.

The land of fairytale castles, gorgeous cities with origins lost to time, and housing millennia-old treasures, Europe is the end goal of every culture buff this summer. While most travelers will be flocking to France, Spain, and Italy, there’s one medieval European country that remains largely overlooked. Unlike your usual sunny hotspots, it sees smaller …
Luxembourg is not only the wealthiest country in the European Union it is also considered to be the richest country in the world. This is no mean feat considering that Luxembourg is tiny. The country is ten times smaller than its small neighbor Belgium. To put that into perspective, Luxembourg is slightly smaller than the …
Europe is back to being everyone’s go-to destination for both sun and culture now that all health-related border curbs have been lifted. From France’s Eiffel Tower to Italy’s world-renowned Romanesque monuments, the continent is once again awash with tourists.
