Awards & Prizes
Since 2014, we've been writing about travel – and sometimes we get recognized for it. Here's our trophy case.
2026
TravMedia Award
Best Travel Bloggers
The TravMedia Award recognizes the best in tourism across the English-speaking world.
In 2026, the award was presented in Germany for the first time — and we won!
We took first place in the Best Travel Blogger/Travel Influencer category and even made it onto the TV news.
2024
Premio ENIT
Best Travel Blog about Italy
The Premio ENIT is the prestigious media award presented by the Italian National Tourist Board — and it’s been running for over 30 years. Our writer Rebecca accepted the award at the Frankfurt Book Fair.
An excerpt from the jury’s verdict: “22places offers very inspiring and practical tips. … The jury was also won over by the clean, modern layout with short sections, curiosity-sparking introductions, and plenty of extra tips.”
Grazie mille!
2024
Tiger Award
Top 3 Content Creator
The Tiger Award recognizes outstanding achievements in online marketing across the German-speaking world.
More than 20 media creators made it to the jury’s final selection in the “Content Creator” category — and after a public vote, 22places landed in the Top 3.
Basti is absolutely thrilled, as you can see.
2021
Top 20 Bestseller
SPIEGEL Bestseller
An award we’re especially proud of! When we published our book in 2021, it immediately jumped onto the SPIEGEL bestseller list.
Number 20, right on the mark! That means our book ranked among the 20 best-selling non-fiction and advice books in all of Germany that month.
Woohoo!
