NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC'S BEST OF THE WORLD
Vitoria-Gasteiz is the least-known capital of the Basque Country and also its best-kept secret, surprising all who visit with its rich culture and history. In 2021 National Geographic magazine named it a Best of The World destination. In 2023 it was nominated Best Urban Destination. It shines as the epitome of a European city: bike-friendly, eco-friendly, avant-garde and with a high quality of life. It also stands out for its cultural offering and rich heritage.
