Tripadvisor has once again released its top European destinations for the year ahead, and 17 of 25 destinations are on our Jet2holidays and Jet2CityBreaks map! What can we say? People love them, Tripadvisor loves them, we love them too.

Want to know more before adding them to your bucket list? Here’s your speed date with our destinations that made the shortlist…

Rome, #2

The Eternal City, as its name suggests, never goes out of style and 2024 won’t change the longstanding tradition. Sitting pretty at number two, Rome effortlessly blends its ancient history with its classic Italian cuisine, which helped it claim the top spot in European foodie list. It’s well worth a visit…

Paris, #3

Whoever said Paris is always a good idea was right, according to travellers on Tripadvisor. And you bet the foodies added it to their list too. The croissant capital makes the perfect weekend getaway but there’s so much to do and try, so you might want to linger longer…

Crete, #4

Coming in strong at number four is the biggest Greek isle, Crete. With a bit of partying in Malia, a dash of beachfront lazing in Chania and a sprinkle of top-notch cuisine, you’ve got an ‘everything’ holiday on your hands. No wonder it’s so high up on the list!

Barcelona, #6

The sixth spot has been reserved for one-of-a-kind Barcelona and, if you haven’t already, you should add it to your 2024 list. Full of culture, nightlife and quirky bars, the Catalan capital has a corner for everyone, including foodies – it scored fourth place on the top food destinations in Europe!

Florence, #10

Oh, how we’d love to stroll the cobbled streets of Florence, meandering between grand cathedrals, before sitting down to an Aperol while looking over the cinematic skyline of the city… And Tripadvisor’s travellers and foodies would too, it seems!

Tenerife, #11

Good times are guaranteed in Tenerife, and everyone knows it. You can go exploring the mighty Mount Teide or lazing on a beach without a single worry – that’s the beauty of this isle. It’s a classic for a reason!

Porto, #13

Filling the number 13 spot on the round-up and is one of the newest additions to our Jet2CityBreaks map – Porto. It’s got world-class wine, sensational sights and UNESCO’s stamp of approval. Now it has two more from plenty of travellers and food lovers as well.

Santorini, #14

Glamorous and Insta-worthy or local and natural? Santorini is what you make of it. Either way, this beloved island lures in holidaymakers with its blue domes and whitewashed houses, and it shouldn’t be missed in 2024.

Budapest, #16

Don’t fancy splurging on your travels? We’ve got just the spot for you – Budapest! Ranking at number 16, the Hungarian capital is one of the most up-and-coming destinations in Europe, and it’s a traditional choice among sightseers. Bridges, baths, Buda Castle – we’ll let you decide the rest…

Prague, #17

Now here’s one to Czech out... Often considered Budapest’s smaller sister, Prague is right behind it on the list. The dominating medieval castles and intricate bridges look enchanting and won’t drain your savings either!

Athens, #18

Whether it’s a city break, sunny holiday or a mix of both you’re after, Athens caters to everyone’s needs. Visit the world-renowned Acropolis, learn the city’s mythical history and take a day trip to the coast. Oh, and don’t forget to treat yourself to its oil-drizzled cuisine, featured on the top European food destination list! The perfect holiday or what?

Naples, #20

Proudly taking number 20 is Naples. Typically referred to as an open-air museum, this city doesn’t lack character in any way possible. Think vibrant streets, castles on every corner and glasses of vino with a view… Oh, and don’t forget it’s the birthplace of pizza!

Krakow, #21

Cheap and cheerful, Krakow is a youngster’s paradise, but don’t be mistaken – its grand squares and cobbled streets hold history that’ll pique everyone’s interest. And no one can say ‘no’ to the hearty dumplings, pierogi!

Malta, #22

Peppered with a bit of everything, Malta’s an ideal year-round destination. Stellar seafronts? Check. Crystal-clear waters? Of course. Epic cultural sights? Just try and visit all of them!

Dubrovnik Coast, #23

When you have five national parks at your fingertips, an ancient Old Town and endless scenic sea views in front of you, how could you not put Dubrovnik on this list? Walk, don’t run...

Reykjavik, #24

The Northern Lights, Blue Lagoon, Golden Circle and the rainbow-coloured capital… The only questions left are when are you going to Reykjavik, and why is it only 24th on this list?

Madeira, #25

Filling the last spot on Tripadvisor’s coveted tally is lush and leafy Madeira, which will make even the biggest beach bums want to take a hike. How, we hear you ask? Just look at that spectacular scenery!
