There are numerous relevant and interesting metropolises around the world - deciding on your next travel destination can be difficult. But a clue could be a current ranking that has chosen the 50 best cities in the world for 2024.
The British magazine "Time Out" has chosen the best cities in the world. The ranking is based on a survey of more than 20,000 city dwellers around the world - the results were also combined with the assessment of internal and external experts. This year, the relevant categories for the best cities in the world were defined as going out, including food and drink, art, culture and museums, and nightlife. It's about places that locals consider to be particularly entertaining or beautiful and that are neither boring, overrated nor overly expensive. Therefore, aspects such as walkability, public transport and safety were also taken into account.
"The 'Time Out' list of the best cities in the world 2024 is not only an indispensable travel guide for the coming year, presenting the most exciting places in the world in terms of food, nightlife and culture, but also a global snapshot of city life," explained one of the magazine's leading travel editors in an interview with "Forbes".

3rd place: Berlin, Germany
When it comes to partying and going out, Berlin is of course a must. In the "Time Out" ranking of the best cities in the world for 2024, the metropolis came third this year. "Berlin is so much more than its clubs, its galleries and its reputation as the European capital of coolness. The city may not be known for its friendliness, but Berliners are the heart and soul of the German capital," says "Time Out" in its statement. Berlin is praised not only for its nightlife, but also for its good public transport connections and its many green spaces, such as Tempelhofer Feld.
