According to numerous studies, Google is the most influential data source when it comes to influencing our travel plans. As a result, Humbo, a platform that inspires great travel, has analyzed user data and created an index that reveals the European capitals that generate the most interest among tourists.
By examining search terms like “where to stay in…” and “what to do in…”, Humbo has managed to identify the most popular European capitals. The research focused on search terms that indicate a desire to discover a city, excluding news-related behaviors. The goal was to encourage cities that excel at attracting visitors and provide a perfect bucket list for those seeking to explore Europe’s best capitals.
Humbo used various tools to analyze Google search engine behavior, similar to those used by digital marketers to better understand their market and optimize search engine results.
