London has just been named the world's best city for culture by Time Out.
Based on insights from more than 24,000 city dwellers who were polled across the globe, the British capital scored well thanks to its theatre scene as well as its museums and galleries.
Of the top 20, nine of the cities are in Europe, including six in the top 10.
“From London to Lisbon, every city that made the ranking this year boasts legendary museums and a thriving performing arts scene, alongside a cultural calendar absolutely jam-packed with exhibitions, festivals and events,” Grace Beard, travel editor at Time Out, said.
“Time Out’s experts on the ground have given their lowdown on the cultural highlights not to miss this year, providing travellers with a definitive guide on where to go and what to see in 2026.”
