CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA (CVILLE RIGHT NOW) – A study by luxury vacation rental service “Wander” lists the Charlottesville area among the Top-5 most underrated vacation spots in America. Another Virginia area is at the top of their underrated list, and that’s Williamsburg.

Using data from Google, Tripadvisor, Instagram, and Numbeo, the team at Wander has ranked spots based on how often they’re searched and posted about on Instagram. Destinations with lower search and social media engagement were considered more underrated. They then looked into how exciting their food and culture scenes are and how safe and clean they are.

Charlottesville scored high in “landmarks per 100,000 people” as well as “safety” and “comfort” in ranking 5th most-underrated behind Williamsburg; Bozeman, MT; Missoula, MT; and Fairbanks, AK.
