Lonely Planet announces its Best in Europe 2017
Zagreb in Croatia takes top spot!
World leading travel media company, Lonely Planet, has announced Best in Europe 2017, its selection of the most exciting European destinations to visit this year. Compiled by Lonely Planet’s experts, the list reveals the most outstanding, underrated and overlooked places that should be on travellers’ radars right now.
Zagreb in Croatia takes the top spot as Europe’s number one destination this year. Often overlooked by visitors in favour of the country’s extensive Adriatic coastline, this booming inland capital is both cosmopolitan and edgy, combining sun-splashed Austro-Hungarian squares brimming with coffee drinkers with a heady mix of Brutalist architecture, thriving street art and urban regeneration. With the city’s long awaited airport terminal opening earlier this year, it’s never been easier or cheaper to reach the Croatian capital, where visitors can discover a blossoming food and drink scene.
To help travellers experience the very best of Zagreb, our top spot this summer, Lonely Planet is giving away a free chapter download from the Croatia guidebook, available from lonelyplanet.com/best-in-europe.
