Methodology
How we score a city
Every city gets a score from 0 to 10 in six categories. The overall travel score is the simple average of all six — no hidden weights. The higher the score, the higher the rank.
Food
Street food, markets, local classics and the restaurant scene.
Culture
History, architecture, museums, festivals and local character.
Nature
Beaches, mountains, parks and day trips into the wild.
Nightlife
Bars, live music, late dinners and the city after dark.
Walkability
How easy and pleasant it is to explore on foot, bike or transit.
Value
What you get for your money on stays, food and activities.
The formula
Overall = (Food + Culture + Nature + Nightlife + Walkability + Value) ÷ 6
