Fresh from voting Zagreb as Europe’s best Christmas market, European Best Destinations nominates another Croatian city for Best European Destination.
A little over two months ago, the advent programme in the Croatian capital was little known outside the region, but the listing of Zagreb among 50 top Christmas markets on popular travel website Best European Destinations resulted in Zagreb being voted the runaway winner at the Best European Christmas Destination, taking a third of the 100,000 votes cast.
Now it is the turn of another Croatian city to be nominated by the website, this time the Dalmatian coastal city of Zadar, one of 20 in the running for Best European Destination. Voting starts on January 20 and runs until February 10, and Zadar is in competition with Athens, Prague, Amsterdam, Kotor, Brussels, Paris, Novi Sad, Berlin, Plovdiv, Vienna, Edinburgh, Madrid, Rome, Barcelona, Nicosia, Azores, Nantes, London and Milan. Best European Destinations says of Zadar:
“The city of Zadar is a city of exceptional history and rich cultural heritage, a city of tourism. Our website will try to offer you a complete tourist offer, from searching for an ideal accommodation, autochthonous gourmand delicacies, cultural monuments, a variety of excursion programs and numerous tourist activities that the city offers by combining the beauty of the past and all the privileges that the modern traveller demands.
“Zadar is a city monument, surrounded by historical ramparts, a treasury of the archaeological and monumental riches of ancient and medieval times, Renaissance and many contemporary architectural achievements such as the first Sea Organ in the world.” Read more…
