According to global eSIM leader Holafly's Travel Dupe Index, the smartest way to bypass overtourism is to look at alternative destinations that offer a similar experience and atmosphere, without the crowds. The index identifies the absolute best international alternatives to some of the world's most iconic destinations.

This index strictly highlights alternatives located in entirely different countries. It compares visual and cultural similarity, accommodation costs, overtourism contrast, accessibility (a massive win for short-haul UK flights!), and social momentum.

The result is a genuinely new experience, maintain the exact same aesthetic appeal, with up to 83% savings on accommodation.
