Here is a list of 5 such countries, but do remember that nothing can beat seeing these locations in person.
Grenada, Caribbean Sea
Adorably famed as ‘The Island of Spice’ - all thanks to its immense production of nutmeg and mace crops, - Grenada is a renowned island nation gaining quick popularity among the vacationers. Situated northwest of Trinidad and Tobago, Grenada was formerly a French and then British colony, though the influence of the French community can still be experienced in its culture and food. The best way to spend the day here is by gorging upon their delicious and yeah, slightly spicy food while listening to some of their pleasurable folk tales. Just in case you happen to be in the island nation during the time of their annual carnivals Reggae and Calypso, do be there and have a time of your life.
Andorra, Southwestern Europe
Spread across a total land area of 468 sq. km, Andorra is a ski heaven, attracting ski enthusiasts from all corners of the world to test their skills. Landlocked in between Spain and France, Andorra welcomes its guests with a Spanish culture which is crammed full of amazing hospitality and utter friendly behavior. This small country has a total population of around 76,000 people and is located just 3 hours away from Barcelona. Apart from admiring the beauty of the snow-caped mountains and the glorious valley of cherry blossoms, do take out some time to rejuvenate your mind, body and soul at the world-class spas.
St Kitts and Nevis, West Indies
The country's unique marine life and an incredible diving adventure to explore it is what await travelers planning a vacation in these two stunning islands. With a total land area of approximately 261 sq. km, these two islands have been named as The Mother Colony of the West Indies owing to their origin. No doubt, the best time to visit a Caribbean destination is during its numerous music festivals which let you enjoy some authentic salsa, jazz, calypso and steelpan music along with colorful parades and street dances. Once done with the musical journey, go and sample the country's unique sea food.
San Marino, Italian Peninsula
San Marino is a lesser known microstate that claims to be the oldest sovereign and constitutional republic across the globe. And then with a land area of just 61 sq. km is for obvious reasons one of the smallest countries in the world. Surprisingly, it is also one of the nations with more vehicles than its actual population. The highest point of the nation is blessed with hilly terrains with no flat ground. The state's unique stamp on your passport will certainly work as an exclusive souvenir for you to take back home.
Vatican City, Italy
Located within the city of Rome, this enclaved country is immensely popular for its high religious values and community connections. Ruled by the Bishop of Rome or popularly the Pope, this Nano country has a population of 842 and a land area of as low as 0.44 sq. km. But believe it, a vacation to the nation is more of once-in-a-lifetime visit. When vacationing here, do visit the Sistine Chapel, St Peter's Basilica, and take a stroll through the Vatican Gardens and the Vatican Museums. The marvelous dome by Michelangelo also well deserves a visit by visitors.
