Lisbon Shines in Global City Rankings
Every year, Time Out gauges the pulse of urban life worldwide by surveying thousands of residents about their cities. This year, over 18,500 readers shared their insights on aspects such as food, nightlife, shopping, culture, as well as accessibility, happiness, and livability. The outcome? A list of the 50 best cities in the world, with Cape Town at the top, followed by vibrant cities like Bangkok, New York, Melbourne, and London.
This year, Lisbon secured the 12th position, nestled between Chicago and Edinburgh. What makes this city incredible? We could list the usual attractions, which would already make for a compelling visit: the Tagus River, stunning city views, traditional tascas, rich history showcased through monuments and museums, the soulful fado, warm sunshine, and delightful pastéis de nata. But the true essence of Lisbon lies in its people. The city is increasingly multicultural, a blend of work, creativity, genius, and talent.
You can witness this vibrant culture in the bustling outdoor cafes after a long day, around the tables of the best restaurants, in the walls of alternative galleries, or in the stylish shops. A prime example is the Praça das Flores in Príncipe Real, a melting pot of new trends and a lively atmosphere seven days a week.
