Abu Dhabi
What makes us great: Not only is Abu Dhabi the capital of the UAE, it’s the unofficial arts and culture capital, too. The city is known for being safe, clean and relaxing – as locals made very clear in this year’s Index – which may well be why it’s so popular among expat families. You’re never short of exciting things to do here from cutting-edge restaurant openings to major new museums including the Guggenheim Abu Dhabi and the National History Museum Abu Dhabi (both coming soon).

Singapore
What makes us great: Though we may be a small city, you’re never short on great stuff to do in Singapore. Almost anywhere on the island is accessible via public transport (something 92 percent of locals praised in this year’s Index) – but because it’s essentially summer all year long here, you’d do just as well to explore on foot and soak up some rays. Lately, Singaporeans have also started getting serious about wellness and relaxation, with many spending their weekends in the city’s beautiful parks, and also partaking in things like sound baths and sound therapy.

Accra
What makes us great: Accra will reliably give you a good time. In the Ghanaian capital, the party either lasts until 8am or simply never ends. The array of delectable traditional foods to try is never-ending, and the eclectic Afrobeats sounds, seasonal cultural festivals and bold festive attire point to the city’s rich history. And community is important here. ‘Your business is everyone’s business’ is how many locals would put it. Accra’s warmth makes it nearly impossible to leave without establishing genuine connections (in fact, the city was named the third easiest city to make friends in, according to our survey).

Los Angeles
What makes us great: Life in L.A. may be increasingly and uncomfortably hot and dry, but the breezy Mediterranean vibes still persist on the dinner plate thanks to the rise of crudo-forward and tapas-inspired spots, including Bar Moruno and Causita. The rapidly recovering dining scene reflects a range of cuisines as diverse as L.A.’s population, and that applies outside of the culinary world, too, as art shows and live music rebound with progressive purpose – and a signature weirdness that we’re glad to welcome back to the city’s again-brimming social calendar.

Rome
What makes us great: After two years of restrictions, Rome is back — and the city’s cultural programming is better than ever. Whether you opt to walk through the Colosseum by moonlight to avoid the crowds, catch an opera in the third-century Baths of Caracalla, or watch a movie al fresco on the tiny Tiber Island, the Eternal City offers a plethora of original experiences in unforgettable settings. After a day of exploring, make like the Romans and head up to one of the city’s many rooftop bars to admire the skyline at sunset: Alto is a new addition which pairs craft cocktails with gourmet bites a short walk from the Vatican.

Dubai
What makes us great: Dubai has all the stuff you’d want from a travel destination – from incredible restaurants and buzzing nightlife to some of the world’s best shopping and simply stunning beaches. What’s more, it’s modern, clean, super-safe and very easy to get around. This is a city of superlatives – take a selfie at the top of the world’s tallest building, swim in the world’s highest infinity pool and skydive over the world’s largest manmade island, all in one day.

Barcelona
What makes us great: As you’ll no doubt have clocked, everyone is heading to Barcelona right now. Whether or not it’s just the summer festival rush, we reckon the city is only going to get busier over the coming months. And that’s great. This city is only really itself when the bars and restaurants and beaches fill up, and stay that way from dawn till dusk. The city came fourth when we asked which one city Time Out readers would like to move to, taking 6 percent of all votes. No doubt the influencers (, .dressed among them) who’ve flocked here recently have had something to do with it. But the city’s perennial charms – culture, gastronomy, the heat – have surely helped too.

Miami
What makes us great: Miami is hot right now (and not just temperature-wise!) A recent influx of tourists and transplants has raised its profile, attracting inspectors from the Michelin Guide for the very first Florida guide, globally renowned entertainers (Bad Bunny is opening his first restaurant here) and world-class sports events, from the Formula 1 Grand Prix to the 2026 World Cup. It seems like everyone wants to be in Miami these days and we don’t blame them.

São Paulo
What makes us great: Don’t believe what they say over in Rio about people from São Paulo. It’s true that the industrious Paulistanos work hard, but they party even harder and there’s a scene for everybody in the clubbing capital of South America. The food here is some of the best on the continent too: decades of immigration have woven cooking traditions from Italy, Japan and more into cosmopolitan São Paulo’s culinary tapestry.

Dublin
What makes us great: A vibrant, welcoming and compact city with a pub culture that bars across the world could only dream of replicating... Dublin really is one of a kind. Whether it’s Brogan’s, Hogan’s or Grogan’s (believe us, there’s a BIG difference), you’re guaranteed to finish the night with some new friends who will make you feel as though the Irish capital is your home. There are few cities where you’ll find beach crowds running into the sea come rain or shine, mountains with picturesque views of a low-rise city, buzzing streets with buskers and a drool-worthy food scene – but our city has the lot.

Athens
What makes us great: Where else in the world can you find vibrant rooftop bars overlooking temples built by ancient civilisations; dazzling beaches a mere 20 minutes away. Add to that the seemingly endless flurry of new openings: trendy boutique hotels popping up on almost every central street; restaurants specialising in everything from tacos to croissants; ultra-cool bars perfect for cooling down on a summer evening – each is helping Athens become as well known for its present-day creative energy as for its history.

Manila
What makes us great: Manila gets bad rap for chaos – from overpopulation to epic traffic jams. Do as the locals do and embrace the anarchy, even for just a couple of days before jetting off to one of the Philippines’ more than 7,000 idyllic islands. The legacy of Chinese, Spanish and American influences makes Manila an underrated hub for art and culture, with unique customs and cuisine to boot. The pandemic brought the longest lockdowns, cruel liquor bans and the demand for spacewear-like face shields, but a strong vaccine drive has helped this megacity stay afloat. Manila was voted the third most resilient in this year’s survey, and not a single respondent described the city as rude – instead, it was admired by many for the welcoming and infectious smiles of its people
