I would definitely include beautiful and historic Durham England. There is a reason why the Cathedral and Castle area was rightfully granted the UKs first ever UNESCO World Heritage Site. The cathedral of course is widely considered the best Norman building and cathedral in the world and of course where they have filmed Harry Potter, The Avengers: Infinity War and many more. Lovely cobbled streets and market square with so many major festivals throughout the year. Of course within easy access you have Hadrian's Wall and the amazing county of Northumberland which has more castles, roman history, the birth place of Christianity in the UK and where the Vikings first invaded etc, one of the greatest gardens in Europe (Alnwick Gardens - the castle of course also used for Harry Potter etc)

The sad thing is, that meanwhile Bamberg is almost just as overrun by (mostly Japanese) tourists as every other touristy place in this region (like Neuschwanstein or Rothenburg ob der Tauber.
Beautful town, but you can't go along the streets anymore without having to sidestep those giant selfie sicks or tourist guys asking you the way to the old townhall.
And the Rauchbier by the way is a matter of taste, because it's extremely bitter!

I like Einbeck, Germany - a little south of Hannover. The city burned in the early 1500s and what they built then is still the city center. Except for the city hall of course, which is much older Every old house has this archway and they all look the same more or less. I wondered about them and found out that the measurement was made so that the brewer's wagon could enter!

I didn't enjoy Obidos. Too many tourist walk in narrow streets. Big Tourist groups arrives in every half hour from Lisbon and Porto by bus. it's not a hidden jam anymore. restaurant is super expensive, and has bad customer service. I didn't feel any local life either. I found a good vibe local cafe bar and met nice local ppl, but still the town is not my kind.

I, as a German, highly recommend the cities of Trier and Weimar (and maybe Dresden, but idk how popular this has become. Two cities with a lot of history, bit each a very different kind. I visited those cities as a tourist as well and from my experience they are definitely not overrun and mostly popular with German tourists.

There are a few hidden gems I discovered in Spain, outside of Seville. Merida is a town full of Roman Ruins, seriously underrated. Caseres, a Mideival town enclosed by a stone wall, absolutely gorgeous. and then there's Trujillo. these guys are definitely on my travel list!

's-Hertogenbosch, The Netherlands: 800-year-old medieval city virtually unscathed by WWII, with inner city canals (the Binnendieze) and the only high-Renaissance gothic cathedral (St, Jan) in all of Holland; famous for its burgundische atmosphere (enjoying the good life.

Thank you for Nida, Troyes and Brasov. unfortunately I've already been everywhere else. we only like little places not swarmed by international tourists and I really liked them all apart from the Isle of Skye. for some reason I was not impressed
