How is Rhodes overlooked?
It's the 3rd most visited island in the Eastern Mediterranean after Crete and Cyprus.

Bergen got some of the most visited attractions in Norway, like Bryggen and Fløibanen. The city is definitely not overlooked by foreign tourists.

Manchester? Are they serious? There are no buildings of merit in the place. It is very bland. Liverpool 30 miles away is vastly superior.

That is completely false - Manchester has plenty of architectural merit. I live 40 miles away and like it a lot.

Name me one? They have a new large isolated tower block, called the filing cabinet, that is disliked and there are no iconic buildings as you get in Liverpool. Manchester is like Sheffield and Leeds, two other cities not worth mentioning.

Why are you so focused on architecture anyway? Few cities in the world sell themselves solely on their architecture, nor does a city have to have very attractive or even iconic architecture to be worth visiting - just look at Berlin.

Besides, Manchester is very close to being the third city in Britain to have more than 1 million international visits annually (other two being London and Edinburgh).

List of cities in the European Union with more than 100,000 inhabitants - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

there's way way way more unknown and presumably more interesting cities in europe than those mentioned on that list. i wouldn't follow a travel guide in the search of something new.
