100 under-the-radar places everyone should visit in the world

Travel should be more than crossing attractions off a bucket list. It should be an opportunity to see some truly magnificent - and surprising - parts of the world.

That's why we have compiled a comprehensive list of lesser-visited destinations, whether they are natural or man-made spectacles, hidden wonders, or points of breathtaking scenery.

From a Japanese island that doubles as an active volcano to a neon green lake in New Zealand, here are our top 100.

Methodology: We have considered the number of current traveller reviews on TripAdvisor to rank the attractions in this list, from those with the most to least visitors. Have we missed any under-the-radar spots? Let us know in the comments.
