Lonely Planet: The world's leading travel guide publisher
At Lonely Planet, many of our favourite European experiences remain unknown to most travellers. We've created a mini-guide 'Secret Europe: 50 TRULY UNFORGETTABLE EXPERIENCES TO INSPIRE YOUR NEXT TRIP' that includes clandestine nightclubs, secret hotels, killer views, off-the-radar villages, lesser-known cultural capitals, and more. Sourced from our expert authors, locals, and other in-the-know denizens, some of these experiences cannot be found in any guidebook. It's these kinds of unexpected, magical places that make unforgettable memories. Whether you've never been to Europe or have been 100 times, we're confident you'll find something here to whet your travel appetite, inspiring you to pick a country or region and start planning your next adventure there.
No matter where your excursion leads, how many times you've been, or what you're looking for, there's always more to discover than you might expect. Wandering off beaten paths can happen anywhere, even in iconic well-trodden destinations like Paris, where you can find a hidden picnic area near a patisserie of glorious historic and gastronomic creds that few tourists will ever find. So, go forth, explore, and... shhhh, don't tell too many people about it.
