Same vibe, fewer crowds

Savler is a travel discovery platform that helps you find personalised "destination dupes" - authentic alternatives to overcrowded tourist hotspots based on what's important to you.

Instead of visiting Amsterdam, Barcelona, Paris, or Rome when they are heaving with tourists, you can discover lesser-known cities with a similar vibe, whether that is food, culture, nightlife, or architecture.

A destination dupe is a destination that shares the same atmosphere or features as a well-known hotspot, but with fewer crowds and less problems with overtourism. For example:

• Love Florence for its food? Try Bologna.
• Love Amsterdam for cycling culture? Explore Strasbourg.
• Love Parisian architecture? Discover Lecce.

These dupes are carefully selected through AI analysis and curated travel insights.

You enter a city you love (such as Barcelona) and select what excites you most (architecture, beaches, food scene, nightlife, football culture, and so on).

Savler's matching engine instantly suggests alternative destinations that share those qualities. You will see curated dupe cards, travel highlights, and booking options, all within seconds.

Savler goes beyond generic lists by tailoring recommendations to what you love most about a destination. Whether it is food, cycling culture, art, or nightlife, our recommendation engine matches those interests with cities that share the same spirit.

Each result is refined through expert research, Savler's own curation, and growing community insights - giving you travel suggestions that genuinely fit your style and vibe.

A standard web search usually brings up the same overcrowded hotspots, or the same "hidden gems". Savler is different: it delivers personalised alternatives based on what you actually enjoy about a place - whether that is food, culture, architecture, or nightlife.

Each recommendation is shaped by a mix of AI-driven matching, careful human curation, and insights from the Savler community. Add to that a user-friendly interface designed for quick inspiration, and you get travel ideas that feel relevant, authentic, and easy to act on.

Not exactly. Savler is not about secret spots or places nobody has heard of. Instead, it helps you discover destination dupes - authentic cities that share the qualities of famous hotspots but are less crowded and more enjoyable.

These are places with real cultural depth and good infrastructure, not just "hidden corners" that may not be practical for travellers.

Savler is made for savvy travellers who:

• Want authentic alternatives to crowded tourist hubs.
• Care about sustainability and local culture.
• Prefer personal, curated recommendations.
• Seek quick inspiration without spending hours online.

Savler combines in-depth research from local and international travel experts with careful human curation by the Savler team, alongside insights from our growing community, to ensure high-quality matches. Every dupe destination is reviewed for accuracy and relevance, so you are not simply getting generic lists - you are discovering cities that genuinely match your interests and vibe.

No. Savler is built around the principle of responsible and sustainable travel. The alternative destinations we recommend are authentic cities with the capacity to welcome more visitors, without the strain that overtourism creates in hotspots such as Amsterdam, Venice, or Barcelona.

By spreading travel demand more evenly, Savler helps travellers enjoy a richer, more personal experience while giving local communities the benefits of tourism without the overwhelming downsides.

Not on its own. Overtourism is a global challenge, but Savler aims to play a small part in the solution. Travel is not going to disappear - and nor should it. It creates cultural exchange, supports local economies, and provides unforgettable experiences.

What does need to change is how we travel: choosing destinations more thoughtfully, spreading demand beyond the same overcrowded hotspots, and making trips more sustainable for both visitors and communities.

Savler helps by guiding travellers towards destinations that deliver the same experiences they love, but with far less pressure on people and places - while giving the world's favourite hotspots a much-needed breather.

No. Savler does not focus on remote or inaccessible places. Instead, we highlight destinations that already have the infrastructure and services to support tourism, but with less problems of overcrowding.

That means you can still enjoy authenticity and local culture, while travelling with comfort and peace of mind.

Savler does not sell flights or hotels itself, but we make it simple by connecting you with trusted partners such as Booking.com, Skyscanner, and GetYourGuide.
