Have you booked your city break for the year yet? No? Well no need to worry as the annual index created by the global publication Time Out has crowned New York City as the world’s best city in 2019.
Time Out surveyed more than 34,000 people in 48 different cities around the world, once all the data was in the index indicated that The Big Apple was the most sought-after city and the place people wanted to visit the most this year.
In second place is the Australian city of Melbourne, followed by Chicago. London missed the top three but managed to grab the number four spot while the City of Angeles, better known as Los Angeles, took on number five.
“The cities at the top of our list are centers of diversity, diversion and dissent dotted across the world,” says Time Out’s Global Projects Editor, James Manning. “They are places where anything can (and does) happen, where new ideas, delicious food and world-class art and entertainment are born every day, and where people from all corners can come together with a shared civic identity.”
