This is part of our global guide to the Best Places to Go in 2024—find more travel inspiration here.
In considering the best places to go in Europe in 2024, we asked our expert contributors to nominate the destinations that are on the up—either because of a flock of hotel openings, perhaps, murmurings of Michelin arrivals, shiny new museums, or a concerted conservation effort taking root. Across the continent, we heard about a first-time sports events in Italy; astonishing nature and new glampsites in Scandinavia; and an unexpected surf scene in France with heightening buzz. There are also classic Greek escapes, which are easier to reach than ever before, and Hungarian cities evolving wholesale in time for major anniversaries.
What follows is an edit of Europe’s countries, regions, cities, and neighborhoods that are worthy of your time and attention in 2024—all thoughtfully selected by our editors at Condé Nast Traveller UK and Spain. It’s just a fraction of what Europe has on deck in the year ahead, but it’s, we feel, the best place to start. Happy travels.
