Italian tourism wins recognition from one of the UK’s leading newspapers: The Daily Telegraph pays tribute to the Peninsula’s greatness by declaring it the 2023 Best European Destination. A double celebration with Venice as Best European City, beating Rome and Seville. The other candidates for best country were Greece and Norway.

Italy was rewarded by the readership of the historic newspaper founded in 1885 and traditionally aimed at affluent middle to upper-middle class readers, generally over 50. It is one of the most widely read newspapers both in print and online in the UK (print readership over 800,000 per day, digital readership around 23 million per month).
