Czech Rep., Sep 10 (BD) – Global lifestyle and culture magazine Time Out has published a ranking of the 37 “Best Cities in the World” to live in, based on a survey of 27,000 residents in cities worldwide. They collected answers on food and culture, community projects, green space, and sustainability, focusing on changing concepts of urbanism in a world marked by the coronavirus pandemic. According to the magazine’s ranking, Prague is the 7th best city for living in 2021.
Explaining their ranking, the magazine praised Prague’s indisputable beauty, all the more enhanced in the current time by the opportunity to experience the city’s sights without the normal crowds of tourists. Prague’s walkability was also mentioned as an advantage, with 89% of respondents living in Prague saying it was easier to get around the city without a car.
