While Italy might be the obvious choice for a gastronomical adventure, true foodies want to go somewhere a little off-the-radar. San Sebastian has the most Michelin stars per capita in the world, and it has exquisite snacks for those who can’t afford five-course dinners.

Hungary’s capital has the party scene and quiet cafes. There’s the ruin pubs and also an impressive array of independent bookshops. To live your best extrovert life, you can party until 4 a.m. and for your introverted side, you can hide in a cozy coffee shop.

Besides Slovenia’s national gallery, the country’s capital also has underground art collections like the Jakopič Gallery. For those who like their art a little more far-out, there’s the Alkatraz Gallery. It’s located in the former Soviet army barracks and many pieces offer commentary on contemporary politics.
