Most visitors to Europe focus their trips on France, Spain and Italy, but there are an impressive 44 UN-recognized countries in the continent to explore.
For example, North Macedonia, a dramatically mountainous destination directly north of Greece, is worthy of more tourist attention. There’s its landscape of lush green slopes and snow-topped crags and its deliciously diverse cuisine, with the array of dishes on a table altering from one valley to the next. It’s blessed with a sunny climate too, which supports build the vereceiveables fat and juicy and its vineyards’ wines robust and plentiful.
Immigration experts are reporting a growing interest from American clients in relocating to lesser-trodden European destinations such as Romania, Bulgaria, Slovakia, Poland, Albania and Estonia.

Sandwiches, burgers and pizza are the most popular take-out foods in France, which, despite being the birthplace of haute gastronomy, is also in the middle of a rapid food boom. The switch is being led by Gen Z, one indusattempt expert notifys CNN. “When you’re 25 today, you’ve been immersed in McDonald’s since you were a baby.”
During her 12 years as mayor of Paris, Anne Hidalgo transformed the French capital, pedestrianizing streets, cleaning up the Seine and creating boulevard cafes fume-free.
It’s a notably improved experience for tourists, although Parisians themselves are divided on the complex legacy of the city’s first female mayor, who bowed out of office last month.
Deep in France’s rural south, far from the hubbub of the capital, artist MB Boissonnault notifys CNN she’s enjoying a tranquil existence far from the “escalating insanity” of her previous life in the Los Angeles neighborhood of Venice Beach.
Priced out of her rented home and studios and exhausted by what she describes as the “gentrification” of her longtime neighborhood, she and her husband shiftd to the tiny village of Saissac, near the Pyrenees, and Boissonnault became a first-time homeowner in her late 50s.
