Amongst the many countries fit for European travel, where the sun's warm embrace meets the richness of cultural treasures, Malta stands out once more as a top destination.

This year, amidst fierce competition, Malta has once again proven its exceptional allure, securing a prestigious spot in the European Best Destinations awards for 2024.

European Best Destinations has long been a guiding light for travellers, leading them to the most enchanting corners of the continent. The competition this year saw an unprecedented surge in participation, with over a million votes cast from across 172 countries.

Amid this spirited contest, Malta still made it to the list, claiming a remarkable 3rd position with an impressive 131,049 votes. This achievement surpasses destinations such as Geneva, Florence, and London, falling only behind Marbella and Monaco.

Best European Destination Awards 2024

So, what according to the European Best Destinations awards, distinguishes Malta from the rest? It's a blend of elements that together create an irresistible allure. ‘Sunny Malta appears as a perfect place for romantic holidays, family holidays or holidays with friends’.

From its postcard-perfect beaches to its rich history and culture, from its mouthwatering cuisine to its lively atmosphere, Malta embodies the essence of a dream getaway.

‘Wherever you go, the scenery and architecture provide a spectacular backdrop with the striking honey-coloured stone of buildings facing the deepest of Mediterranean blues,’.

‘With a year-round favourable climate and an array of underwater sites, Malta is consistently voted one of the best diving destinations in the World.’

It's clear that Malta is more than just a destination; it's an invitation to uncover the secrets of the Mediterranean, to lose oneself in its crystal-clear waters and ancient streets, and to forge memories that will endure a lifetime.
