Sofia has been named as Europe’s best city break destination for 2027 in a new ranking.
Euronews – According to the report by European Best Destinations, which “brings together 10 cities with very different personalities”, Bulgaria’s capital took the top spot thanks to “ancient history, contemporary culture and the mountains”, which create an “especially rewarding combination”.
The ranking is based on a 33-day vote involving 11,614 subscribers to the European Best Destinations newsletter. Each respondent could cast up to three votes from a shortlist of 64 European destinations selected by independent travel journalists. The top 10 are listed in order of votes received.
“A great city break gives you plenty to do and enough time to enjoy it,” said European Best Destinations. “There is room here for a romantic escape, a weekend with friends, a few days by the sea or a special occasion worth celebrating in style.”
