The annual list by Resonance Consultancy ranks the continent’s greatest cities to live and visit.

Resonance Consultancy, the firm behind WorldsBestCities.com, has ranked Europe’s 100 best cities for 2023. Multiple factors were considered when compiling the list, including walkability, attractions, diversity, experiences, employment levels, and even Instagram hashtags.

London tops the list this year. The UK’s capital – named by Resonance Consultancy as the ‘capital of capitals’ – is celebrated in the report for its newly extended underground network and big-name restaurant openings, and for attracting tech giants like TikTok and Instagram.

Next up is Paris, which got the nod for its new cycling network and ambitions to become a walkable city, as well as its impressive rail infrastructure. Amsterdam came third, noted for its housing projects, including an in-the-works neighbourhood made entirely out of wood.

And when it comes to the whole country, sweeps the board, with three of its cities in the top ten.

Here’s the top ten countdown of Europe’s best cities, according to Resonance.
