A SCOTTISH city has been named among the world’s best by Time Out.
The media and hospitality company releases an annual list of the best cities in the world to provide inspiration for travel with an emphasis on the factors that make different areas so great to visit.
Time Out surveys thousands of locals to get a unique insight into what it’s like to live in the world’s greatest cities, asking a range of questions about the quality and affordability of good, culture and nightlife as well as how their city makes them feel, from happiness to romance.
Glasgow came in 30th place on the list with Time Out pointing to “good food and happy people” as two of the key reasons it featured.

It pointed to city centre restaurants Sugo and Topolabamba as places “offering cheap but delicious grub” as well as the city’s “thriving live music scene and the enduring appeal of the near century-old Glasgow Film Theatre”.
Three other cities in the UK also featured on the list – London at number four, Liverpool at number seven and Manchester at number 15 – while New York, Cape Town and Berlin made up the top three.
Travel editor at Time Out Grace Beard said: “Time Out knows cities like no-one else, and that’s thanks to the opinions and insights of our global network of local expert journalists on the ground in cities around the world.
“Our annual survey lets us keep a finger on the pulse of city-dwellers to create a global snapshot of city living right now.
“Every city that made the list did so because locals rate it highly – so whether a city ranked at one or fifty, it’s still one of the greatest amongst the thousands of cities around the globe.

“This year, the top cities are not only incredible places to visit and go out in, with world-class restaurants, culture and nightlife, but they’re also great places to live, with strong community spirit and an undeniable vibe.”

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
