Our top cities this year are the ones with thriving nightlife, amazing food and drink, and art, culture and museums galore.

So while things like community spirit and resilience were two of the most important factors last year, in 2022 we’ve added extra weight to the things that make cities great places to visit as well as to live. But now, after two years of travel curbs, the world is opening up again, and we – like you – are itching to get back out there. For the past two years, the list has focused on how cities pulled together through the pandemic and made life (just about) tolerable during lockdowns. the results of the Time Out Index 2022 are in! As ever, we’ve crunched all that data and used it to come up with our annual ranking of the world’s greatest cities. The idea is to create a global snapshot of city living, and point people in the direction of the places locals are really raving about.Īnd now.

What the neighbours are like and which neighbourhoods are actually cool. We want to know about the restaurant scene and the bar circuit. Every year, we quiz thousands of city-dwellers worldwide about life in their hometown right now.
