Cities have an undeniable appeal for many travellers. But when it comes to picking a city to visit, there are too many to choose from with more than 500 cities with over a million inhabitants around the world. Each has its own charms and tastes are different. We realise it’s a little presumptuous to claim we can name the top 15, but we have also grounded our list in some research too by looking at a number of surveys and studies on the same topic. Previous studies attempting to determine what are the world’s most beautiful cities include one by the travel company Kuoni, which evaluated TripAdvisor entries. Online Mortgage Advisor chose a different approach. In that case, analysts examined cities according to the aesthetic principle of the golden section. The golden section is a proportion that can be measured precisely and is perceived by people as being particularly harmonious. The travel guidebook series Rough Guide based their study on a Facebook survey that they conducted. An equally interesting contribution is the ranking of the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU), which regularly determines the most liveable cities in the world. So don’t just take our word for it, the 15 cities listed here are regulars on rankings of the most beautiful cities in the world. Rome Rom mit seinem Forum Romanum und dem Kolosseum gehört zu den schönsten Städten der Welt. The Forum was the centre of public life for the ancient Romans. Adjacent to this area that was the political, religious and commercial heart of the Roman Empire is the Colosseum, still the largest amphitheatre in the world. Both sights are in the centre of contemporary Rome. Harald Nachtmann/Getty Images Rome, the Eternal City. The capital of Italy has something for everyone. Follow in the footsteps of caesars and senators, visit the most important sites of the Catholic Church, experience la dolce vita on the city streets, and enjoy Italy’s culinary riches—all this is possible in Rome. The city, where history and modernity coexist, is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful in the world. Case in point: Rome’s staircases alone could be the basis of a beautiful itinerary, from the double spiral staircase in the Vatican Museums and the staircase of the Palazzo Senatorio, a masterpiece by Michelangelo, to the legendary Spanish Steps. Paris Paris mit seinem Eiffelturm und den Cafs gehört zu den schönsten Städten der Welt. The Eiffel Tower has come to symbolise Paris and the 324-metre-high landmark is visible from throughout the city.

And it’s also a city of cafés where you can pass the time admiring Paris and its people. As you wander past the stately buildings on every corner in some arrondissements, you’ll soon understand why Paris earns its spot on this list. London Der Big Ben und eine rote Telefonzelle in London einer der schönsten Städte der Welt. Two icons of London are seen here, its red telephone boxes and Big Ben, at the Palace of Westminster. Some local intelligence: The name Big Ben originally referred only to the largest bell in the Great Clock, though it has since been extended to refer to the entire clock and the tower too. extravagantni/Getty Images Afternoon tea, fish and chips, and the royal family—Great Britain and its capital London stand for all this and much more. In addition to so much tradition, the metropolis is a place of striking modernity. From the crown jewels to a series of manicured parks, and elegant terrace houses to the masterpieces in its many museums, London is blessed with beauty. The London Eye and 30 St Mary Axe, designed by Ken Shuttleworth and Norman Foster (also called “The Gherkin” because of its shape), are sights to behold for those with contemporary taste. Prague Die Karlsbrücke und Blick auf die Prager Altstadt einer der schönsten Städte der Welt. It’s a city that looks like it comes from the pages of a storybook. The Charles Bridge is Prague’s most iconic landmark. It stretches from the Old Town across the Vltava River to the Malá Strana, or Lesser Quarter. The stone bridge was built in the 14th century and is one of the oldest in Europe.

Sydney Das Opernhaus von Sydney einer der schönsten Städte der Welt liegt direkt am Meer. Much of the beauty of Sydney, Australia’s largest city, is a result of its geography.

If you want to escape the cold winter months, pack your bags for one of the most beautiful cities in the world, blessed with blue skies and sea breezes. If you don’t like it quite so hot, it’s better to travel from October to November (Australian spring) or from March to April (their autumn). During these windows, temperatures in Sydney are usually between 15 and 25 degrees Celsius, warm but a little milder than in the summer, from December to February. New York Nachtaufnahme mit vielen bunten Lichtern und gelben Taxis von der 42nd Street in Manhattan New York einer der schönsten… The yellow taxis and the dazzling billboards are as much a part of the New York cityscape as the Statue of Liberty on Liberty Island.

Here you can be inspired by the lights of Times Square or the stories told on Broadway.

At the end of a day of constant stimulation, you will likely agree that New York has a unique if frenetic beauty.

It’s an ideal location to experience both dreamy beaches and the wonders of Catalan cuisine on one vacation. As if that didn’t make the city attractive enough, the Spanish metropolis is also known for its exuberant nightlife.

Austria’s capital also scores highly when it comes to culture. This is a city that can boast cultural luminaries from Mozart to Klimt, and Beethoven to Brahms. A more recent luminary was Friedensreich Hundertwasser, who was born in the Austrian capital and who designed a number of his most famous and surprising buildings here. The Hundertwasser House embodies his vision of a green oasis in the city. Bangkok Nachtaufnahme von Yaowarat einer bunten und belebten Straße in Bangkok einer der schönsten Städte der Welt.
