No. 10 Paris
Ah, Paris. Each cobblestone alley, a street-side bar, a patisserie window seems to have been art director for some impossible to understand a set designer. Yet I can not elegance and drama of the great pleasures of Paris is probably the simplest one: the buzz and the neighborhood bistro, the tranquility of the cemetery; crisis the perfect baguette. Ultimately, there will be in Paris for dinner. Indulge your fantasies in a serious cheese Laurent Dubois, Fromagerie with endless options.
No. 9 Barcelona
Barcelona has long been famous for its art and architecture with Salvador Dalí, Joan Miró and Antoni Gaudí all leave their marks. But it is the first year that the Catalan city broke into the top cities in the world top 10. Although diversions that work Gaudí designed the Parc Guell has a timeless charm, is the new hot spots that tickets, Mad Scientist Ferran Adrià brothers Albert, creating a buzz in the world. Where to Stay A new Mandarin Oriental, where the legendary service of Hong Kong Hotel Group is paired with the Spanish designer Patricia Urquiola 98 bright, cream and white bedroom.
# 8 Sydney
Part huge complex, capital of culture from some of Sydney's best world perennial winner in this city of Australia, is an example of the relaxed cosmopolitan art: urban, but not pretentious, cutting edge, but stressed that no. New restaurants and shops are Aussie channel that energy in some areas, often forgotten, as the lair of Manly Beach. And an initiative to take the side streets in Surry Hills and Darlinghurst fashion led to a lot of open lounge bars, try the lychee infused tequila Hunky Dory Social Club.
No. 7 in Siem Reap
Siem Reap is best known as the gateway to the Angkor Wat complex and other 12 th century, as the Khmer ruins of Ta Prohm, which remains as the archaeologists found in 1860, Bengal and ceiba trees with slow recovery of sand sculptures. But now the city has grown from a group of villages in a coastal tourist destination in itself, art galleries, boutique hotels - and the world's best city designation. Enjoy the local cuisine at the FCC Angkor, an article 31-room hotel and restaurant Deco, McDermott and drop photo gallery black and white of Angkor Wat.
No. 6 Cape Town
Cape Town is marked with at least some African cities, and African - which, depending on who is doing the labeling, is said to look to the future, or denigration. But what do you think of must-see destination, the post-World Cup, the city exudes a cool, clear, and now has fallen back into the world's best list of more points compared to 2009 (the last time it came out) . Splitting time between the cities occupations (reading a fashion Neighbourgoods market and local artists, galleries), and trips to see wildlife, taste the wines and walk to the beaches of the Cape of Good Hope Reserve.
No. 5 in Istanbul
Bosphorus missing - and then the only major city, which covers both Asia and Europe - Istanbul reaches the ancient and the modern world. Sounds like a building to compete with call of the muezzin, and the skyline, glittering palaces and mosques, tape, the roof is full of nightlife. One of the reasons for the surge back in town best city in the world list after two years away? The appeal of the latest culinary trend in Istanbul: to resurrect the old Ottoman recipes, like Trotter, lamb served with garlic toast and juicy to kubbes Asitane - dumplings filled with beef and Pignola - Cercis Murat Konagi, is the Asian part of town.
No. 4 in New York
For New York's bright lights of big cities of magnitude, one can always find a quiet neighborhood. The trick is to balance the city show excessive intimate experiences. The last quarter to pull out of the Chelsea Arts District, between Avenues 10 and 11, most notable for the high line just expanded, a landscaped strip of public space high. On nearby blocks, are the buildings of Frank Gehry, Jean Nouvel and Shigeru Ban, renowned galleries like Pace and Gagosian. For a picnic, stop at Chelsea Market, a food court on steroids, and enjoy a piece of the city that was chosen No. 1 in the United States and Canada every year since 2000
Rome # 3
The Eternal City was ranked the 10 cities in general, every year for the past ten years, all the buildings, while catapulting the same as the Series 21 Century starchitect designed. Featuring a bold new look of the Ara Pacis, travertine and glass building by Richard Meier, Zaha Hadid and the MAXXI (Museum of Arts of 21 th century), which debuted in 2010 in the Flaminio area of the North. The Colosseum was a six-up, the opening of the third floor of the dungeons and visits the gallery for the first time.
# 2 in Florence
With a charismatic mayor at the helm, a new generation of tastemakers is injecting a welcome dose of contemporary culture in this beloved city of the Renaissance, amid hills dotted with towers and churches. New galleries and cocktail bars in the city center with more compact than a million works of art - including Michelangelo's David and Botticelli's Birth of Venus. Factor for high fashion brands like Gucci and Cavalli, succulent steaks and traditional craft workshops Oltrarno, and it is no wonder that Florence was beaten several times in the European cities of its size.
# 1 in Bangkok
Frantic and sensual, this metropolis of 10 million Asians seems to be a city with overdrive. Skyscrapers vie for space bottom, taxis and tuk-tuks inches through traffic. But there are moments of calm. At dawn, the saffron robes of Buddhist monks begging for alms, while women over jasmine garlands and concerns that decorate the temples and shrines. And when it comes to shopping and food, the city is so affordable and often bacchanal. No wonder that Bangkok has reached the No. 1 overall for two consecutive years - and was included in the top 10 every year since 2002.
