Top 10 European sleeper cities

With warmer weather on the horizon, folks are already beginning to dream about 鈥� and plan their trips to 鈥� far off destinations. Traveling abroad is an exciting adventure that can conjure up images of rich history, scenic beauty and possibly, an empty wallet. 聽There鈥檚 no doubt about it, heading 鈥渁cross the pond鈥� can be an expensive endeavor. This is especially true if you鈥檙e like most travelers who visit popular tourism hubs like Paris and London, cities with both high demand and hefty prices during the peak-summer season. However, a European summer trip doesn鈥檛 have to cost an arm and a leg if you look beyond the more established tourist cities. Earlier this year, I shared a list of my favorite U.S. 鈥渟leeper cities,鈥� a title the travel industry gives to up-and-coming destinations that feature big-city attractions without the big-city price tags. The list was so popular, and created so much conversation, that I decided to highlight similar cities for European-bound travelers. As the president of a travel company, I鈥檓 lucky enough to see trends as they develop, and I鈥檝e found that visiting an off-the-beaten-path destination is often the right mix of value, revelation and respite. These cities offer a ton of history, incredible sight-seeing and great hotel deals (most under $100 per night). Plus, more and more European properties are recognizing the benefits of working with discount hotel sites (like Hotwire) to help them fill their unsold rooms, and that includes established international hotel chains. This means you can be sure you鈥檒l get a great room for a ridiculously low price, leaving you with extra cash to spend on immersing yourself in the local culture. By visiting some of the following 鈥渟leeper鈥� destinations, you can get your European adventure for a fraction of what it might cost to visit London or Paris, all while avoiding the copious summer crowds that come along with them.
