The world's 5 most underrated cities and why you should visit them

1: Porto, Portugal

Often outshined by nearby Lisbon, Porto can be thought of as the Portuguese capital’s scruffier little brother. However, On closer inspection, though, there is a unique culture in Porto that you can’t find anywhere else in Portugal.

The city struggled immensely under the recent economic crisis but is coming back bigger and better than ever, with young, fresh, and passionate people leading the charge.

Porto’s multi-coloured Ribeira district, located in the city centre on the banks of the Douro River, is one of the city’s most beautiful highlights. But the nearby beaches, the many art galleries, including the unmissable Museu Serralves, in particular, and lots of little-hidden bars where you can sample world-famous port wine also make Porto easy to love.

2: Dhaka, Bangladesh

Dhaka is the most underrated capital city in the whole of Asia. It also feels like the least touristy destination on the planet.

Bangladesh, the eighth most populous country in the world, barely receives 120,000 international arrivals annually.

Known as the ‘City of Mosques,’ Dhaka is located near the Ganges Delta. Its beautiful landscapes comprise mostly of tropical vegetation along the Buriganga River.

3: Canberra, Australia

Australian Parliament House 

Canberra is often overlooked by visitors to Australia. It doesn't have beautiful beaches, or, indeed, any beaches and there's no cool graffiti art scene or a fancy Opera House. But it's still an incredibly interesting place with lots to see and do.

In Canberra, you can easily get right to the top of government. You can walk on the roof of Parliament House for awesome views of Canberra (and to brag that you are top of the Australian government).

There's a great food scene with cool cafes and delicious restaurants. We recommend Cantina for sangria and tasty tacos.

There are also some cool museums, our favourite being the National Portrait Gallery.

Canberrans are also kind, helpful and proud of their cool city

4: Skopje, Macedonia

Macedonia is a small but beautiful and diverse country that’s also one of the cheapest and best value destinations in Europe. But it usually gets overlooked by travellers.

The capital, Skopje, must be one of the most under-rated destinations in Europe

This quirky, fun, unpretentious and multicultural city has undergone a unique transformation in recent years as huge civic buildings and hundreds of huge, quirky and kitsch bronze statues have been built as part of Project 2014, a controversial attempt to attract more tourism and increase patriotism and national identity.

5: Richmond, United States

Richmond, the capital of Virginia, is a great small city with lots of street art, fine restaurants and lots of options for entertainment. From the empty streets and the dark corners that inspired some of the tales of Edgar Allan Poe, who lived here, to the colourful, hipster areas with alternative bookstores, vintage stores and museums, Richmond is both young and old.

Even when the architecture is a reminder of the historical past of slavery and war, Richmond is diverse and celebrates its mixed population with pride, including LGBT families, migrants and thousands of students and young people from the United States and abroad.

That’s without even mentioning that Richmond is one of America's most tattooed cities, with 14.5 tattoo shops per 100,000 people.
