The latest 2025 World's Best Cities report combined user-generated ratings and reviews from more than 500 global cities to identify the best cities in the world. One parameter that is important for a good city is its lovability index. Lovability measures a city's vibrancy in terms of culture, attractions, nightlife, dining and international reputation.
