Braga nominated for Best European Destination
Braga is one of the 20 cities nominated for Best European Destination in 2021. The voting takes place online between January 20th and February 10th. The support of all is essential so that Braga can continue its path of affirmation in the international tourism context. You can vote for Braga from 20th January here.
After being distinguished as the second Best European Destination in 2019, the organisation's choice of Braga is due to the fact that, in addition to being one of the European destinations with the highest tourism growth in Europe, it was a City that quickly implemented several public health measures to protect its population against the Covid-19 pandemic, and was even mentioned by the OECD as an example of good practices in this matter.
Added to these factors, there is the sustainable development of tourism in Braga and the distinction, by the European Commission, as one of the cities with the best quality of life and happiest in Europe.
Under the motto '2000 Years, One Destination', Braga has a tourist offer which appeals to different traveller profiles and markets, combining history, youth, nature, spirituality, gastronomy, culture and innovation. Braga was recently recognized by Forbes as one of the best destinations to live and invest in Europe and is among the 10 most consulted destinations by British, Brazilian, Spanish and American travellers on the EBD website in the last 12 months, among an offer of more than 300 destinations.
Braga is the only national destination nominated to receive this distinction in 2021. The winning destination and the nominees benefit from an increase in the number of visitors and international visibility, which will help the recovery of the tourism sector in the City in the post-Covid-19 period.
Created in 2009, European Best Destinations, a Brussels-based organisation, promotes culture and tourism in Europe and has distinguished, since 2010, the most modern and attractive cities to visit in the European Union. This is considered the biggest e-tourism event in Europe.
