I have always had some strange interest in Baltic republics, for some reason I have always thought I would love to go Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania and many times have been called crazy as they seem not be the most popular places for holidays.
Define underrated. Also is this from an American perspective (e.g., few visit). Someone from the states might find the baltics "under-rated" but someone from a neighboring country may not...
If underrated means not commonly visited by Americans, I would put Laos and Myanmar on the list. I love Laos. Nice people, you don't get stalked by tuk tuk drivers when you say no to rides and cabbies don't offer you whores like in Bangkok. And I know Myanmar has a repressive government but its slowly opening up and there are ways to visit without supporting the government. Buddhist architecture stunning, people incredibly nice, just liek in Laos, and heaps cheap. Spent a long weekend in Tongatapu, Tonga (cheap flight from Australia) and that was interesting.
Partially due to the crime in the main tourist city, Rio.
Let's face it, it really isn't even that safe for an American tourist who doesn't speak Portuguese to walk in Copacabana at night.
