Lisbon is the best destination in the "Cities" category of the Travelbook Awards 2022

Travelbook, Germany's largest digital travel publication, has chosen Lisbon as the best destination in the "cities" category for its positive development in the area of sustainability and for its many attractions and activities.

"It is always difficult to come to a decision when the nominees are cities like New York, Barcelona, Tel Aviv, Singapore or Lisbon. In the end, the decision was based on the criteria we had chosen, such as sustainability, the cleanliness and safety in the destination," said Nuno Alves, editor-in-chief of Travelbook.

Travelbook handed out the "Travelbook Award" to six different destinations for the first time, in a ceremony held in Frankfurt.

Travelbook receives more than five million visits per month and belongs to the Axel Springer media group, the largest in Germany and Europe. The news about the award given to Lisbon was featured on the front page of the Bild publication.

"There were good arguments on why Lisbon won, for example the positive development in the area of sustainability, be it ecological or social. In addition, the Portuguese capital offers many attractions and activities, not only in the city, but also in the surrounding areas," said Nuno Alves.

On the Travelbook page one can read that Lisbon's "special touch turns the city into a wellness destination", adding that "sublime monuments and spectacular viewpoints impress".
