We polled thousands of city-dwellers and grilled local experts to rank the greatest places for fun, food, culture and community
It’s that time again. Every year, we ask thousands of city-dwellers to tell us the coolest spots in their cities. What are the places locals love and visitors flock to?
Where are the exciting new openings across food, drink and culture? Where are people going out, hanging out and having fun?
For the sixth year running, the results are in.
Over 12,000 people had their say in this year’s shortlist, naming the neighbourhoods in their hometowns where everyone wants to be right now.
Then, we narrowed down the selection with the insight and expertise of city editors and local experts who know their cities better than anyone else. To create and rank the final list, we considered factors including community and social ventures, access to open and green space, and thriving street life.
