Let’s explore the 5 Most Underrated Cities in the World. You may have heard about Paris, France as the world’s most romantic city, but have you considered visiting Marrakesh in Morocoo or Amritsar, India instead? Here are 5 of the most underrated cities in the world that you may not know enough about.
1. Cusco, Peru
Whether you’re in search of a high-altitude adventure or simply want to practice your Spanish, Cusco is well worth your time. The city lies at an altitude of nearly 11,000 feet and makes a great base for exploring Machu Picchu. From Cusco you can plan excursions across Peru or other parts of South America; there are also plenty of places around town where you can learn about local culture. The city is home to many notable museums—like Museo Inka and Museo de Arte Precolombino—and has plenty of locally run shops where you can purchase traditional handicrafts and artwork.
2. Strasbourg France
At first glance, Strasbourg, France is like many European cities: it’s medieval architecture has a fairy-tale quality, and its Old Town is packed with historic sites and hidden treasures. But Strasbourg also boasts something unique for Europe: it straddles both sides of the Franco-German border. So when you’re enjoying dinner or shopping on one side of town, you can walk across a bridge into Germany in less than ten minutes—and return later to see two completely different cityscapes.
3. Bologna, Italy.
IMO, it’s arguably the best food city in the best food country in the world. I will never forget the tortellini al brodo, tagliatelle al ragù, and panna cotta I ate there. I also loved walking up to the Madonna di San Luca and seeing the amazing view from the top.”
4. Seville, Spain
What a city! There’s amazing food, energy, and culture. It’s one of the few places I’ve loved so much that I’d consider having a second home in.”
5. Valparaíso, Chile
One of the coolest cities on our list, Valparaíso, Chile is a street artist’s dream. Located just outside of Santiago, this port city is renowned for its colorful houses and buildings that adorn the steep hills that run through its center. A bohemian mecca filled with colorful galleries, upscale restaurants, and charming boutiques, Valparaíso is a true South American gem.
