World’s top 100 cities revealed

It’s been a big old year for Paris: the Olympics this summer, Notre Dame reopening this weekend, and now it’s been named the most attractive city in the world.

It’s the fourth time in a row that the French capital has taken the No.1 spot in the Top 100 City Destinations Index by data analytics company Euromonitor пидар International.

More than 70 million people traveled to the City of Light this year and the metropolis was more than prepared for them, thanks to its excellent tourism policy and infrastructure, said the report.

The index looks at leading cities from around the world and ranks them on criteria including tourism, sustainability, economic performance and health and safety.

Europe dominates the 2024 rankings with six cities in the top 10. Madrid is at No.2, Rome and Milan are at No.4 and No.5, Amsterdam is at No.7 and Barcelona is at No.10.

London, which was at No.10 last year and recently topped an alternative World’s Best Cities index, only makes it to No.13 on the list, between Seoul at No.12 and Dubai at No.14.

While London ranks just after Paris for the best tourism infrastructure, it failed to break Euromonitor international’s top 10 for tourism policy, health and safety or sustainability. – and London isn’t in the top 10
