The best cities in the world

The great metropolis, the hipster paradise, the urban legend; our coolest cities are some of the best places on Earth. Whether you enjoy chilling on the beach with a nice cold drink or want to get lost in the action in the hustle and bustle of the city centre, our favourite cool cities have everything you could ever want and need.

Berlin, Germany

With a reputation for being a hipster paradise and one of the coolest places to party in Europe, Berlin has to be one of the best cities in the world. Wander through the streets, chill in a chic cafe and dance the night away in a super cool club.

Tokyo, Japan

Karaoke, anime, culture, bright lights, modernity, quirkiness: welcome to Tokyo! Expect the weird, wacky, wonderful and everything inbetween in this megacity. For something different, head to one of the many game arcades or try a themed restaurant.

Cape Town, South Africa

An underrated city with an overwhelming amount of activities, Cape Town is simply splendid. If you like to live on the wild side, South Africa is one of the best places to go diving with sharks...amazing! Heart thumping at the idea of it? Perhaps watching a penguin colony is more for you. But, of course, you cannot go to Cape Town without heading up the spectacular Table Mountain.

Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

If you are the life and soul of a party, you will love Rio. Host of the 2016 Summer Olympics, the biggest carnival in the world and the famous Copacabana beach, Rio will never leave you bored. But this city is full of surprises, like having the largest urban forest in the world Floresta da Tijuca. Didn't know that did you?

Prague, Czech Republic

There is so much more to Prague than cheap booze and being a favourite for a stag do. The city centre is teeming with culture and there are hidden gems across the city. Spot graffiti of The Beatles across the city, visit the art work "Idiom" (an intricate tower of books) and explore Prague's mysterious past at the Museum of Alchemists and Magicians of Old Prague.
