Awards And the best airport in the world for the second consecutive year is...
France The jewels of Brittany: route through one of the most beautiful bays in the world
The first is Edinburgh.
For its architecture, its monuments, its views, its restaurants, its
nightlife
, its promotion of culture and art, its open and tolerant character... These are the qualities of the Scottish capital that have earned it the title of best city in the world to discover during this 2022. The
ranking of 53 destinations
includes two Spanish ones, Madrid, which ranks 12th, and Barcelona, in 39th. Ahead are others such as Chicago, Medellín, Glasgow, Amsterdam, Prague, Marrakech,
Berlin, Montreal and Copenhagen
.
The latter would comprise the
top ten
.
The complete list has been prepared by the Time Out
leisure magazine ,
with editions in a
hundred cities around the planet
, which has interviewed more than 200,000 urbanites to find out their opinion about what is currently cooking in their places of origin.
Chicago is placed in the number two position.
The objective of the report, which receives the name of
Time Out Index
, is that every traveler knows first-hand
what life is like in the city
to which they are going.
From the gastronomic offer to the trendy bars, through the
exhibitions
that cannot be ignored, the unmissable plays or the monuments that are worth seeing.
The idea is above all to make a list with the places that the neighbors like so that it is a local tourism proposal.

This is the first report carried out
after the pandemic.
Not in vain, the magazine, of British origin, does it every year, although during the last two it focused on analyzing

during confinement.
So, community spirit and resilience were the most valued parameters.
