Media company Time Out has named New York City as its best city for 2024.
Time Out surveyed nearly 20,000 city dwellers around the world, along with its network of global writers and editors, to compile the latest roundup of the world's best cities. Factors including cities' food scenes, architecture and cultural events were considered.
The aim, says Time Out, is to provide "travel inspiration" but also a "global snapshot of city living". New York City's number of museums and its thriving theater scene were cited by Time Out as reasons why the US city took the top spot. NYC's global reputation also played a role in the city being ranked as where other global city dwellers would most like to relocate.
Second on Time Out's list is Cape Town, South Africa, a city ranked, according to Time Out, by "every single survey respondent" as "beautiful", no doubt thanks to its stunning combination of sea, cityscape and spectacular mountain environments. Time Out specifically highlighted Cape Town's cultural offerings from its late-night museum evenings during the summer months to its theater and comedy offerings at Theater on the Bay, as well as the newly opened Time Out Market Cape Town.
Rounding out Time Out's top five are Berlin, Germany (praised by Time Out for its vibrant nightlife scene), London, UK (praised for its legendary drinks and free museums and galleries) and Madrid, Spain ("exceptional" food and drink, according to Time Out). The smallest cities in the top 10 include Liverpool, UK (number 7) and Porto, Portugal (number 10). Porto in particular was named by respondents in the Time Out survey as a great city for "romance".
Time Out travel editor Grace Beard said in a statement that what all the cities on the list have in common is their "strong community spirit and undeniable atmosphere".
