Tucked between Italy, Austria and Croatia, Slovenia might just be Europe’s best-kept secret.

Wander through alpine villages, glide across the crystal waters of Lake Bled, sip wine in the rolling hills of Brda or explore underground caves that stretch for kilometres.

It is the kind of place where every view looks like a postcard without the crowds.

If you are dreaming of a peaceful escape with natural beauty, rich culture and warm hospitality, Slovenia belongs on your list.

The answer is...... Saudi Arabia!

Saudi Arabia is the largest country in the world with no permanent rivers.

Instead, this desert kingdom is full of vast sandscapes, mountain valleys, and surreal rock formations, including the famous tombs of Al Ula and the dramatic Red Sea coast.

It is not your typical holiday pick, but that is what makes it unforgettable.

It might look like an art museum, but it is actually a metro station.

Beneath the streets of Tashkent in Uzbekistan lies one of the world’s most beautiful underground train networks. Each station is uniquely decorated with marble columns, mosaics, chandeliers and intricate ceilings.

All designed to celebrate the country’s culture and history.

The best part? You can explore it for less than the price of a coffee.

If you are searching for travel ideas that are a little different, Uzbekistan is filled with surprises like this.

Save this post for later or tag your travel bestie who loves finding places that are truly unique.
