00:00Lisbon just won big, at the World Travel Awards Europe 2026, held Saturday in Montenegro.
00:06Portugal's capital was named Best City Destination in Europe and Best Cruise Destination in Europe.
00:12It was the first time Montenegro hosted the ceremony, which has a 33-year history in honors
00:17destinations, hotels, and airlines each year. Tourism officials said the awards recognize
00:22the city's international appeal and the diversity of what it offers, and its tourism director said
00:28Lisbon is increasingly setting the trend in international tourism. The association also
00:33said it wants visitors to stay longer and explore the wider Lisbon region, not just the old center.
00:39For travelers, that is a hint worth taking. Trams, hilltop viewpoints, and riverfront neighborhoods
00:45are only the start, and nearby coastal towns are an easy trip away. Awards do not guarantee a perfect
00:52visit, and popular cities can get crowded. So book early and consider shoulder season dates.
