Portugal is considered the best country in Europe to visit in 2021 by users of the European Best Destinations website, which highlight Braga, Porto, the beaches of Cascais and the Algarve, Madeira and the Azores as unmissable places. According to the users of this site, visited by more than six million travelers a year, Portugal is recognized for the beauty of its landscapes, its gastronomy, its rich history and its magnificent beaches.

As stated by the European Best Destinations, a trip to Portugal is not complete without a visit to Braga (voted 'Best European Destination' in 2021 by this site), Porto and its UNESCO-listed historic heritage, the beaches of Cascais and the Algarve ("ideal for recharging batteries in the sun") and, for lovers of nature tourism, the archipelagos of Madeira and the Azores.

In a statement released this morning, the president of Turismo de Portugal points out that “more than a destination, Portugal is an experience that impacts tourists”. "Because our country has everything, for everyone. From north to south, inland or coast and islands, those who visit us want to return. And this 'ranking' shows us that, despite everything that has happened in recent months, tourists don’t forget Portugal and are eager to return. And we will be here, as always, to welcome them safely and well ", says Luís Araújo.

In the European Best Destinations' ranking of the best countries to visit in 2021, based on traffic and research data from the last few months, France appears in 2nd place, followed by Greece (3rd place), Italy (4th place) and Croatia (5th place).
