The 2025 World's Best Cities report, compiled by marketing consultancy Resonance in collaboration with market research company Ipsos, ranks cities on what it defines as their livability, lovability and prosperity, all totting up to an overall score. Alongside other data, it includes a survey of 22,000 people in 30 countries.
London has been crowned the overall best city in the world in the new ranking of more than 270 of the biggest cities on the planet. But we're taking a closer look at the lovability part of rankings, which measures a city's vibrancy in terms of its culture, attractions, nightlife, dining and international reputation.
The top 10 "most lovable" is a who's who of must-visit metropolises, six of which are in Western Europe.
Best-city London leads the way in lovability, too, with its world-renowned museums and nightlife. It's followed by Paris, which ranks high for shopping and sightseeing.
New York is the world's No. 3 most lovable city, thanks to its inimitable cultural offerings including Broadway and top-tier dining.
Tokyo is at No. 4 thanks to its restaurants and shopping, while Rome, at No. 5, has millennia of history on every street corner.
Barcelona (No. 6) has sunshine, beaches, gorgeous architecture and lively nightlife and, elsewhere in Spain, Madrid (No. 7) is investing hard in its parks and outdoor spaces.
Dubai, at No. 8, has safely established itself as a playground for the world and Berlin, at No. 9, is the hands-down winner for edgy cool.
Finally, there's Singapore, at No. 10, whose lovability is down to its incredible food scene, from street stalls to fine dining, as well as its shopping and urban planning.
