EUROPE - Looking for that off the beaten path kind of place to discover? Flight website Skyscanner has listed the top 10 least travelled capitals in Europe.

Chisinaeu, Moldova tops the list. It is known for its green spaces and architecture. It is also home to the Milestii Mici, the largest collection of wine in the world.

Skyscanner's list was produced in response to reports that Spain was no longer an exotic enough European destination for Brits.

"Spain has been deemed too British for British people, so why not visit somewhere a little off the beaten path? Although some enjoy the familiarity of fish and chips and Carling lager on tap, many want to feel like they have left the UK behind when they go on holiday," Barry Smith, Skyscanner co-founder and business development director, said in a press release. "Skyscanner’s list of Europe’s 10 most secret cities are still undiscovered enough to be new and exciting, and you’re unlikely to bump into many Brits there."

Minsk, Balarus came in second and Luxembourg was third.

Europe's Secret Capital Cities:

1. Chisinau, Moldova
2. Minsk, Belarus
3. Luxembourg, Luxembourg
4. Skopje, Macedonia
5. Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina
6. Podgorica, Montenegro
7. Kiev, Ukraine
8. Zagreb, Croatia
9. Belgrade, Serbia
10. Tallinn, Estonia
