The best city in Europe to visit is in Spain (and you’ll be surprised)

6 November, 2024

Spain is still one of the most attractive countries for travellers, thanks to its wide range of tourist attractions that combine a rich gastronomy, traditions and a good climate. In the latest edition of Condé Nast Traveler’s 2024 Readers’ Choice Awards, one Spanish city has managed to stand out above all others, and it is neither Madrid nor Barcelona.

This year, over 125,000 readers have chosen Valencia as the best destination in Europe, beating major capitals such as Rome, Berlin and Lisbon. This recognition marks a milestone for the capital of the Region of Valencia which has experienced great growth as a tourist destination in recent years. The municipality has managed to stand out on the European scene thanks to a blend of tradition and modernity.

The awards, which are presented in the UK and other countries where Condé Nast publishers have offices, are seen as a sign of excellence in the tourism sector. For the selected sites, it’s a great achievement to appear in any of the categories awarded by this seal.
