In an annual consumers’ Which? survey, each of the 31 popular cities was rated out of five on seven criteria: food and drink, accommodation, cultural sights and attractions, shopping, ease of getting around, lack of crowds and value for money.
An overall customer score was calculated based on overall satisfaction and likeliness to recommend.
Kraków and Valencia shared the top place with their 92 percent scores.
Commenting on the winners, the Daily Mail newspaper said: "Kraków has proven enduringly popular in the survey, marking its fourth time in the top spot. Visitors to Kraków awarded it a full five stars for food and drink as well as cultural sites and attractions, with the city boasting a 'wealth of historic gems, from the famous Wawel Royal Castle to its town hall tower."
It added: “Visitors can while away the hours drinking in the atmosphere in the city’s medieval square, the largest of its kind in Europe, or head out to explore the sights in the city’s vibrant Jewish quarter.”
Kraków also ranks among the three highest destinations for value for money, with four stars. It has the cheapest average hotel room rate of any destination in the survey at just £65 per night - £143 less than Paris, the destination with the most expensive average room rates.
Kraków and Valencia are followed in the survey by Stockholm, Berlin, Funchal in Portugal, and Seville in Spain.
