Lonely Planet has released its newest annual list: Best in Europe 2014. This list features Lonely Planet’s picks for the best places to visit in Europe this year and includes countries, cities and regions from all over the European continent. Destinations were chosen by the company’s team of editors based in Lonely Planet’s London office for having timely reasons to visit right now, or for being buzz-worthy yet under-the-radar. The Best in Europe 2014 list goes beyond the destinations featured in Lonely Planet’s annual Best in Travel book (the company’s picks for the top 10 countries, cities and regions in the world), providing more detail for the traveler looking to discover where to go in Europe in 2014.
Greece claimed the top honor on the list, chosen as the #1 destination to visit in Europe in 2014 due to its luxury experiences at affordable prices. The list also features (in ranked order): Ljubljana (Slovenia), Southwest England, Italy, Denmark, Seville (Spain), Outer Hebrides (Scotland), Plzeň (Czech Republic), Stavanger (Norway) and Toulouse (France).
