Recently, Lisbon has been distinguished at various levels across borders, namely as Europe’s Best Culinary Destination or even as one of the most welcoming cities. Now there’s another accolade to add to the range: the award for Best City Break Destination in 2024.
The distinction was awarded as part of the 25th edition of the Star Awards, at a ceremony held recently in London, UK. Lisbon was ahead of cities such as Barcelona, Rome, Prague, Budapest, Krakow and New York.
This distinction recognizes Lisbon as a privileged destination for UK tourists for a getaway, given the diversity of tourist attractions of high interest that the destination has,” said Paula Oliveira, executive director of the Lisbon Tourism Association, in a statement.
The Star Awards are promoted by Travel Bulletin and aim to distinguish the best destinations, cruise lines, hotels, airlines, travel agencies and tour operators.
