Emilia-Romagna, Italy nabbed the top spot this year as Europe’s number one destination. The area is often overlooked, with spots like Tuscany, The Veneto and Campania being the more popular options, but Emilia-Romagna is completely up-and-coming as Italy’s top spot for food and wine-lovers. We mean, it’s home to the birthplace of ragù, prosciutto and balsamic vinegar after all!
