The Telegraph has just completed the biggest independent destination study since the pandemic, drawing up a list of the greatest cities on earth.

For their in-depth study, they analysed a wide range of data from a shortlist of 50 cities selected by The Telegraph readers, along with selections from a panel of experts.

The criteria included factors that Telegraph readers prioritise in city break destinations, such as the number of Unesco World Heritage Sites, air quality, green space, LGBTQ+ safety ranking, disabled access and the number of Michelin-starred restaurants, among other criteria rewarding safety, practicality and cultural prowess.

When quoting Cape Town, the Telegraph says its “topography and geography alone make it stand out above the others”. The beaches, hours of copious sunshine, iconic Table Mountain and the biggest green space out of any city on the list, bumped it into the podium position of third.
