Travellers are increasingly opting to skip Europe’s most-visited cities and beachside locales in favour of less-frequented destinations for summer vacations this year. Fresh data from Chase Travel shows that cities with the biggest year-on-year tourism increases this summer include such off-the-beaten-track destinations as Brussels (Belgium), Munich (Germany), Zurich (Switzerland) and Warsaw (Poland).

The data, based on cardmember spending, shows that the most-booked cities are still London (England), Paris (France) and Rome (Italy).
