The cheapest underrated city in Europe revealed - with flights under £17
And it's Linz, a city in northern Austria, which is Europe's best cheap hidden gem, according to a study that looked at average Google searches across the UK in the last 12 months to find out where the continent's most underrated destinations are.
Austria's third-largest city, Linz sits on the banks of the Danube River and has an attractive old town.
Linz Castle is one of the city's top attractions, located at the heart of its historic centre. Tourists will find a museum inside where they can learn more about the region's culture.
A visitor wrote on Tripadvisor: 'A beautiful museum with an impressive location in Linz Castle. The exhibitions are diverse, exciting and very well curated - from nature to technology and art.'
Don't miss the Mariendom church in the Old Town, which is Austria's largest church. The striking building was finished in 1924 and can accommodate 20,000 people.
Visitors can also climb to the top of the spire to enjoy panoramic views of Linz from above.
Kids will love Linz's Grottenbahn, a dragon-themed train adventure that takes tourists through a miniature world.
One visitor described it as a 'magical fairytale world for young and old' while another said it was very 'cute'.
When it comes to eating out, there's one sweet dish that's a must-try. The city's Linzer Torte is a pastry with a lattice crust, almond filling and redcurrant jam.
The experts at Holidu, the company who conducted the research, found one-way flights for under £17 and with low Google searches for the destination, tourists aren't likely to have to fight off crowds while they're there.
A Holidu spokesperson says: 'This ancient city, named the European Capital of Culture in 2009, is particularly known for its history and culture.'
But Linz is also a fantastic base from which to explore the rest of Austria.
Holidu recommends visiting Hallstatt, famed as the location of the castle that inspired Disney's Frozen, and Salzburg, Mozart's birthplace, both of which are less than two hours away from Linz.
After Linz, the next best underrated destination in in Europe, according to the study, is Poitiers in France. Brits can fly to Poitiers for just £15.
Holidu describes the city's old town as a 'must-visit' due to its 'rich history' and 'Romanesque architecture'.
Holidu found one-way flights for under £17 and with low Google searches for the destination, tourists aren't likely to have to fight off crowds while they're there
And if you're not looking to travel far this summer, the third underrated destination on the list could be the perfect spot for you.
Kerry in Ireland can be reached for under £15 and is bound to 'impress with its stunning and dramatic landscapes', says Holidu.
At the other end of the scale Dublin, Paris and Barcelona are the most-searched for destinations by British tourists.
Alicante, Tenerife, Malaga and Malta are also popular choices with Brits looking for a summer break.

The best tour operators — as chosen by you
The Times and Sunday Times Travel Awards are here again — and the winners are entirely chosen by you, the reader. This is your chance to nominate your favourite destinations, whether city or country; and to tell us which cruise, airline and tour operator you think goes above and beyond. Tour operators are the backbone of travel. They provide the essential trinity of inspiration, organisation and insulation if anything goes awry. A good tour operator is the key to a treasure chest of travel experiences: from a weekend visiting the coastal fortifications of Kent to a chauffeur-guided week exploring the highland tea estates of Sri Lanka or a fortnight tackling the mountain passes of Bhutan on a bicycle. They have the knowledge and the contacts to make all of this happen … and to sort it out when it doesn't. As a professional travel writer, I rely on these companies for ideas and expertise. Over the years I have worked in a lot of remote destinations and I wouldn't have been able to do a story about the seafood-eating wolves of British Columbia, or diving in the fabulous coral seas off Papua New Guinea, if it hadn't been for my tour operator. For closer destinations, particularly Europe, I tend to make my own arrangements, but still rely on specialist operators who know the best hotels and cottages to stay in. My most memorable experience started at a divine (tour op-recommended) oasis hotel in the deserts of southern Tunisia, where I was chilling out under the stars, blissfully unaware that Covid was closing airports all over the world. Mercifully, my operator came charging to the rescue out of the darkness, and got me on one of the last planes out of the country. That flight took me to Paris, rather than to London, but I was still mightily grateful not to experience lockdown in the Sahara (I won't name the operator here, in case I influence the vote). The award categories this year are best overall tour operator or travel agent, best luxury tour operator and best guided adventure operator. So if there's a company that gave you great service, show them your support. Last year we received 470,000 votes across all categories. And remember, your vote could earn you one of ten fabulous travel prizes. Before you click through to cast your vote, let's look at how you voted last year. Over the 12 years of these awards you've celebrated many top names from the tour operator world. In 2024, in the best tour operator category, the tailor-made specialist Trailfinders came out top for a third year in a row, followed by Jet2holidays and British Airways Holidays. Equally consistently, Kuoni has led the way in the luxury tour operator category over the past three years, followed by Audley Travel and Abercrombie & Kent. In the best guided adventure operator category, including escorted tours, Great Rail Journeys has topped the poll for two years running. There hasn't been much movement over the past few years — readers know what they like. In 2023, Jet2holidays and Tui were second and third to Trailfinders in the best tour operator category, and Tui and Virgin Holidays came second and third in 2022. Keeping these rankings is hard work, and operators can't afford to stay still. In the luxury tour operator category, Kuoni, Audley Travel and Abercrombie & Kent have taken the top three slots for the past three years and are a seemingly unshakeable triumvirate in that sector; while in the best escorted tour operator category, it's been a close call between Riviera, Exodus, Intrepid and Voyages Jules Verne. But who will be on the podium this year? Make your vote count. • Have your say here — and be in with a chance of winning a great prize Three-time winner Trailfinders, a specialist in tailor-made travel, is particularly known for its well-travelled consultants, who have personal experience of a huge range of destinations and can make informed recommendations and adjust itineraries based on your preferences. It was originally known solely for long haul, but now covers pretty much everything, near and far, including tours of the UK. Generally, the further away you are and the more exotic the destination, the more important it is to have a well-resourced operator like this looking after you. Kuoni has a similar world reach, particularly for premium travel. It also creates bespoke itineraries, based on consultations with customers. Its bestselling destinations are places that offer barefoot luxury such as the Maldives (particularly for honeymoons and celebrations), Thailand, Mauritius, Sri Lanka and Bali, followed by several Caribbean islands. Great Rail Journeys is more focused on group travel, which can be a challenge. I was on one of its tours last year; it shepherded a crowd of us down across Europe to the Danube for a river cruise, which is no mean feat in the height of summer. Despite the name, rail travel is an option rather than a given in the company's portfolio. But GRJ does offer destinations, both short-haul and long-haul, where the train journeys are more than just a method of transport — for example, Switzerland's mountain climbers or Japan's pioneering bullet trains. Meanwhile, Tui is busily expanding its city-break programme, a relatively new concept for the UK's largest tour operator, by adding the likes of Salzburg and Alicante; while Jet2holidays is widening its selection of destinations, particularly from regional airports like Birmingham, Bournemouth and Liverpool John Lennon. For mainstream package companies like these, it can be tougher to earn customer accolades. They will, of course, have clients' interests at heart, but price point and managing the logistics of big groups demand a very different set of skills. For much of the time, these operators remain discreetly in the background, but that's because everything is going according to plan. Over the years, online travel agents, low-cost airlines and Airbnb have bitten a big chunk out of the tour operator pie. Only the good ones have survived. These are people who love the business and are keen to show you something new that they themselves have discovered. They are companies that can make the numbers work, or who have become masters of a particular niche. They want your money too, but that is not the only motivation, for these people are on your side. They need to be — they want you back again. So give us your feedback on the tour operators you know, both good and bad, in the comments — and then cast your votes here.

‘Serious concerns' as UK-based EU citizens wrongly blocked from re-entering Britain
EU citizens awaiting pre- Brexit residency decisions have been wrongly denied re-entry to the UK after short trips overseas for holidays or business. The Independent Monitoring Authority for Citizens' Rights Agreements (IMA) has expressed serious concerns to the Home Office, stating these individuals should not be removed. The IMA asserts that a valid 'certificate of application' (CoA) should grant citizens the right to exit and re-enter the UK while their residency application is pending. The IMA has urged the Home Office to clarify the rules surrounding CoAs before the implementation of new electronic travel authorisations (ETAs). The Home Office maintains that CoA holders are aware they may be asked for further evidence, though campaign group the3million believes a CoA should be sufficient proof of rights.
