Valencia, Spain - A Vibrant Alternative to Barcelona Skip the Crowds: NH Hotels & Resorts Reveals Europe's Best Under-the-Radar Summer Destinations

Often overshadowed by Barcelona and Madrid, Valencia reveals its liveliest side during the summer months. In July, the city hosts its annual Feria de Julio, a month-long celebration filled with concerts, fireworks, open-air performances and cultural events that bring the city to life. Beyond the festivities, visitors can spend sunny days on Valencia's beaches, wander through the historic Old Town, and savour authentic paella in the city where Spain's iconic dish was born.

NH Valencia Las Artes offers an ideal base for exploring the city, located close to the City of Arts and Sciences, the Oceanogr?fic aquarium and the new Roig Arena, while providing convenient access to both the beach and the city centre.

Bilbao, Spain - Culture and Creativity Beyond San Sebasti?n

In Spain's Basque Country, Bilbao has transformed itself into one of Europe's most exciting cultural destinations. Home to the iconic Guggenheim Museum Bilbao, the city blends striking contemporary architecture with a thriving culinary scene and vibrant local culture.

Guests staying at NH Bilbao Deusto are within walking distance of many of the city's highlights, including the Guggenheim Museum, the Fine Arts Museum and the Euskalduna Conference Centre, making it easy to explore Bilbao on foot.

Bologna, Italy - The Culinary Capital Travellers Shouldn't Miss

While Florence often steals the spotlight, Bologna remains one of Italy's most rewarding cities for travellers seeking authentic experiences. Known affectionately as "La Grassa" (The Fat One), Bologna is celebrated for its world-famous gastronomy, elegant porticoes and lively piazzas.

NH Bologna de la Gare places guests in the heart of the city, just steps from the central railway station and within easy reach of Piazza Maggiore, the Basilica of San Petronio and Bologna's iconic medieval towers, Torre degli Asinelli and Torre della Garisenda.

Trieste, Italy - Discover the Adriatic's Best-Kept Secret

Positioned between Italy, Slovenia and Croatia, Trieste offers a fascinating blend of cultures, literary history and coastal beauty. Often overlooked in favour of Venice, the city boasts grand Austro-Hungarian architecture, seaside promenades and easy access to neighbouring countries.

NH Trieste enjoys one of the city's most convenient locations, just moments from the historic centre and the Adriatic waterfront. Guests can easily explore landmarks including Piazza Unit? d'Italia, Molo Audace and the Canal Grande.

Coimbra, Portugal - Portugal's Historic Heart Beyond Lisbon

Set along the banks of the Mondego River, Coimbra offers visitors a journey through Portugal's rich academic and cultural heritage. Home to one of Europe's oldest universities and recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage destination, the city combines history, tradition and a distinctly local atmosphere.

NH Coimbra Dona Ines celebrates the city's heritage through interiors inspired by the legendary love story of Ines de Castro and Dom Pedro. The hotel enjoys river views and is located within walking distance of many of Coimbra's historic treasures, including Rua da Sofia, the University of Coimbra, and the Machado de Castro National Museum.

Whether seeking cultural immersion, culinary discoveries or a relaxed summer escape, these destinations offer a refreshing alternative to Europe's busiest hotspots. With NH Hotels & Resorts conveniently located in each city, travellers can enjoy comfortable stays while discovering the unique charm, heritage and local character that make these hidden gems so rewarding to explore.
