The world’s top travel spot for retirees –

Three Australian cities ranked in the top 10 for travelling through the Golden Years.

In a strangely specific accolade, Melbourne has been named as the top travel city in the world for retirees, with Sydney coming in a close second and Brisbane landing in sixth place. 

So what makes these Aussie cities so appealing for the golden oldies? Is it an abundance of soft foods? A glut of gentle inclines and early bird specials? Nope, as it turns out the retirees of 2024 are a fun-loving bunch and want a piece of the action.

Here’s how other cities around the globe fared:

1. Melbourne, Australia
2. Sydney, Australia
3. Amsterdam, Netherlands
4. Berlin, Germany
5. Auckland, New Zealand
6. Brisbane, Australia
7. Helsinki, Finland
8. Oslo, Norway
9. Munich, Germany 
10. Singapore
