Netherlands
The Netherlands punches way above its weight for such a small country. Charming canals, colorful tulip fields, windmills, and some seriously good cheese await you. Amsterdam is a blast, but don’t sleep on lesser-known gems like Utrecht or Haarlem — less touristy, just as beautiful, and super budget-friendly if you plan right.
