Experts from Travel Counsellors and Skyscanner recommend visiting lesser-known travel destinations to avoid crowds. Notable recommendations include the Faroe Islands over Iceland for their dramatic landscapes and solitude, and Girona in Spain instead of Barcelona to experience rich culture and lesser prices. With overtourism complaints rising, including locals protesting in Barcelona, these alternative locations provide a peaceful vacation atmosphere without sacrificing charm or natural beauty.
"The Faroe Islands remain wild and uncrowded, offering true solitude and a chance to experience nature in near-total isolation with sheer sea cliffs, emerald-green mountains and fjords that plunge straight into the Atlantic."
"If a city is defined by its landmarks, green spaces, museums, cultural offerings and food experiences, then Spain's northeastern city of Girona has it in spades."
