The best hidden gem in Europe for summer 2025 is this Portuguese town

Tomar, Portugal

With travel to Europe booming and overtourism sparking protests in parts of Spain and other major European cities, many savvy travelers are turning their attention to lesser-known destinations. Enter Tomar, Portugal, a quiet town that’s just been named the top hidden gem in Europe for summer 2025, according to a new study by property rental platform HomeToGo.

HomeToGo ranked destinations that offer stunning scenery, fascinating history, delicious food, and cultural appeal, all without the overwhelming crowds or sky-high prices of Europe’s major cities.
