"Less is more": instead of rushing, slow travelers focus on conscious travel, local culture, interact with locals and enjoy the culinary delights in all their depth. The British Sainsbury's Bank now presents the ten best destinations for relaxed travel.
Instead of ticking off sights in a rush, slow travelers consciously immerse themselves in the local culture, interact with locals and enjoy the culinary delights in all their depth. Because the trend towards conscious travel is becoming increasingly popular, the British Sainsbury's Bank has now tested countries, cities and regions for their slow travel factor. The ranking is based on current evaluations from platforms such as Tripadvisor and Skyscanner. Five key aspects were examined: scenic attractions, culinary offerings, recreational value, quality of accommodation and flight prices - for connections booked from the UK.
At the top of the slow travel rankings is Cornwall in the southwest of England. The peninsula impresses with dramatic cliffs, rolling hills and a wild coastal landscape. Those who want to be particularly close to nature will find a variety of camping and glamping options.
The Algarve in the south of Portugal is in second place and impresses above all with its excellent cuisine. Freshly grilled sardines, oysters and sun-ripened vegetables are an integral part of regional cuisine. The breathtaking coastline and Mediterranean flair make the region the ideal place for anyone who wants to immerse themselves in culture and nature.
In third place is Provence, a classic for anyone who wants an authentic experience of rural France. Between lavender fields, vineyards and weekly markets, life here can be taken wonderfully slowly.
