Don’t Follow the Crowds — You’re Missing Europe’s Best Places

Don’t follow the crowds — Europe’s best places are elsewhere.
This cinematic travel film reveals Europe’s most overlooked cities, towns, and landscapes — far beyond the usual tourist routes.

Europe didn’t lose its magic.
It only feels that way because everyone keeps going to the same places.

In this film, I take you beyond Europe’s overcrowded hotspots — to real places most travelers completely miss, even in the most visited countries on the continent.

From overlooked coastal cities and forgotten medieval towns, to landscapes so unique they shaped science itself — these are Europe’s greatest places hiding in plain sight.

This is a journey through places shaped by history, resilience, and geography.
