Tourism is booming, annoying overtourism and high prices are on the minds of tourists, Venice is about to be trampled down, and Barcelona's Sagrada Familia is overcrowded.
Today, Qiuqiu has specially selected high-quality replacements from 5 popular destinations according to Euronews, which really does not lose to the original, cheap and more fun!
1. Girona ≈ Barcelona, Spain
Barcelona is the most visited city in Spain, and the authorities have been forced to limit party tours and cruise ship passengers in order to reduce the impact on residents.
Not far from Barcelona, Girona, less than an hour by train, has a wealth of architecture for history buffs, such as majestic medieval walls, labyrinths, a Jewish quarter and a majestic pale stone cathedral that was the setting for Game of Thrones.
Come here and eat out at a price of about 25% cheaper than in Barcelona!
2. Bodrum, Turkey≈ St. Tropez, France
If you're on a budget and still want to be on a clear coast, consider heading to Turkey's turquoise coast instead of France's Riviera.
The coastline of the Bodrum peninsula is dotted with resorts with direct access to crystal clear waters, no worse than Saint-Tropez, France.
There are also elegant yacht clubs, big-name hotels at reasonable prices, boat trips and seaplanes are more cost-effective than the French coastline, and Gemibaşı restaurants are upscale and delicious.
3. Treviso, Italy≈ Venice, Italy
There is no Bridge of Sighs in Treviso, but there is a charming river lined with historic palaces and leafy weeping willows. The city can be reached by train or car from Venice in just half an hour, and there is an airport just outside the city.
You can enjoy Treviso's elegant arcades and battlements at your leisurely pace without battling the crowds and selfie sticks in Venice.
Wine lovers will love the vine-covered hills, which produce excellent Conegliano-Valdobbiaden Prosecco DOC wines.
4. Procida, Italy≈ Capri, Italy
The Italian island of Capri, off the coast of Amalfi, has long welcomed celebrities, with chic hotels and high-end boutiques that can soar to the skies. But if you're looking for a more affordable and pragmatic holiday, head to the island of Procida off the coast of Naples.
The island's colourful fishermen's houses are affordable and less crowded, with a 3-hour private boat trip costing just €30 and a 5-hour night kayaking excursion starting at €50.
5. Apulia, Italy ≈ Santorini, Greece
The Greek island of Santorini is home to selfie-stick-wielding influencers vying for the best photo spot at sunset, while Puglia in southern Italy has the same dreamy beaches and steep cliffs as the Greek islands, with a coastline of around 800 kilometres.
It also has its own version of the iconic white house – the unique World Heritage Trulli building with its rotunda with a conical roof.
