Monaco has been named Best European Destination 2025 by the non-profit organisation European Best Destinations, a leading tourism promotion body and partner of the European Commission. This prestigious title recognises Monaco as a must-see destination on the international stage.

Every year, European Best Destinations selects the most attractive destinations in Europe and has travellers from around the world vote for their favourite, out of 500 European destinations. Over one million people took part in this year's vote, in which Monaco placed first, ahead of Madrid and Lisbon.

“This recognition highlights Monaco as a unique destination. With a perfect blend of luxury, culture, gastronomy, year-round events and sustainability, Monaco offers an exceptional experience for all travellers. Whether for a romantic getaway, a family retreat, or an exclusive escape, the Principality excels in comfort, refinement, and outstanding service.” says European Best Destinations.

“From the iconic Monaco Grand Prix and world-class gastronomy to the newly revitalised Casino Square, sustainable Mareterra district and renovated luxury hotels, the Principality continues to captivate visitors seeking unique and memorable experiences. Monaco sets the standard in European tourism, and we look forward to welcoming travellers from Australia and New Zealand to (re)discover its rich heritage and vibrant offerings.” said Visit Monaco's Regional Director Australia & New Zealand, Alison Roberts-Brown.
