These Are the Sunniest Places in Europe-and No. 1 Is a 3-Way Tie
Briefly

Montenegro Car Rentals conducted a study to identify the sunniest locations in Europe based on data from World Weather Online and TimeandDate.com for 2024. The findings show that Malta, Cyprus, and Spain tie for the title of sunniest countries, each with over 300 sunny days. Portugal follows with an average of 290 sunny days, while Italy and Greece are also recognized for their sunny climates. The study highlights the importance of sunny weather for tourism, renewable energy, and mental health trends.
"We know that travelers look for holiday destinations with good weather, but this information can be difficult to find online, as most weather sources report on destinations individually," Jovan Tomasevic, the manager of Montenegro Car Rentals, shared with Travel + Leisure. "Our study brings together data from multiple countries in one place, making it easier for travelers to compare and choose the best locations for their vacations."
The three nations—Malta, Cyprus, and Spain—are the sunniest countries in Europe, each basking in over 300 sunny days per year, making them prime destinations for holidays and digital nomads alike.
The amount of sunny weather also has significant implications for tourism, renewable energy potential, and even mental health trends, making it key to figure out who's got the sun-filled goods.
With climate-conscious travel on the rise, southern Europe's consistently sunny climate may play a key role in shaping travel patterns and remote work destinations.
