2/3's of that list are capitals. I was expecting something a bit more off the beaten track. (NM)

I made it to 16 before I’m like, under-rated means less than London / Paris / Berlin. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 6, 09:09
I don't mind them using capitals (though odd that most of them are). However, some are questionable for 'under-the-radar'. - ty97 Feb 6, 08:58 10
- There are a lot of good secondary cities in Eastern Europe too. Krakow + Gdansk in Poland, Thessaloniki and Heraklion in Greece, Varna in Bulgaria... -- nm - Roger More Feb 6, 09:01 9
  - we are looking at Crete for this fall. -- nm - Andie Feb 6, 09:36
  - True. But how many Americans have even heard of Valetta, Malta even if it is a capital -- nm - ty97 Feb 6, 09:02 7
    - I'm in high dudgeon because it's clear the aggregator hasn't bothered to come up with their own list, they've just purloined another list and - Roger More Feb 6, 09:15

        It's so under the radar that I can't even spell it! -- nm - ty97 Feb 6, 09:12 3
        
        Anyway, Valletta would be amazing, especially if you like medieval history, and I've wanted to go to Krakow forever. -- nm - Roger More Feb 6, 09:17 2

        Have you ever played around with flightconnections.com? If you find a great fare to a place you can see where you can go from there -- (link) - Andie Feb 6, 10:25
All of them are capitals except Belfast. I think they got their list from Sporcle. -- nm - Roger More Feb 6, 08:53 1
- Yeah. I guess they were going to name it "30 European capitals you have to visit" and then went, "Well, Belfast, fuck." (NM) - Marlowe Feb 6, 08:56
Heh. On a more micro level, if one were to create a list of not obvious California destinations. I'm pretty sure that Sacramento would make the list -- nm - JD Feb 6, 08:51
