You Need To Go
This small country, which gained indepen-
dence from Serbia in 2006, has attracted the
famous and wealthy for many years. But the
rest of the population is only just starting to
catch on to the pristine beaches and the his-
toric medieval villages it boasts. The adventur-
ous can explore the dense forests and beauti-
ful waterfalls of Durmitor National Park or raft
along the river in the Tara River Canyon. And
with over 250 days of sunshine each year, it’s
a sailor’s heaven. Needless to say, this para-
dise likely won’t stay under the radar for much
longer!
6. Montenegro
5. Madagascar
After breaking off from India 88 million
years ago, Madagascar became a seclud-
ed island paradise home to countless plant
and animal species that cannot be found
anywhere else on Earth. Its landscape is
diverse, ranging from dense jungle to des-
ert to incredible coastline. Visit Parc Na-
tional de Ranomafana for its relaxing natu-
ral hot springs or head to Camp Bandro at
Lac Alaotra for a day of lemur spotting. But
such untouched beauty won’t last forever,
as some of the landscape is already transforming into the tourist resorts.
4. Serbia
Western Europe gets all the attention.
Consisting of countries such as France,
Spain, Switzerland and Portugal, it’s no
wonder. But those who’ve already visited
such places, or others who simply want to
experience a different side of the continent,
are now looking to Eastern Europe for their
next adventure.
Serbia is just one of the emerging countries
in this region. Its capital, Belgrade, boasts
not one, but two riverfronts, as it’s located
where the Danube and Sava rivers meet. The pedestrian-friendly streets make it easy
to take in the elaborate nineteenth-century buildings of the old town, and its nightlife is
among the best in Europe. This gem of a city certainly won’t stay hidden for long!
