Within the framework of the World's Best Awards 2025, this year's T+L World's Best Cities Ranking focuses on criteria such as diverse cuisine , unique accommodations, vibrant nightlife, proximity to cultural heritage, reasonable consumer prices...
Accordingly, ranked 6th, with a score of 91/100 from global readers, Hoi An is the only representative of Vietnam to appear on the list. The ancient urban area makes a strong impression thanks to its architecture bearing the strong imprint of the fusion between local and foreign cultures, along with the interwoven canal system as well as the friendliness of the people.
Hoi An is highly appreciated for its canal system and unique ancient town architecture, recognized by UNESCO as a World Cultural Heritage in 1999. Visitors to Hoi An often spend time walking, taking photos on the old streets, visiting cafes, shopping stores and enjoying the vibrant nightlife atmosphere.
"Travelers love to stroll or take photos on moss-covered brick streets, explore small cafes, craft shops and vibrant nightlife and cultural spaces," T+L editors suggest.
This year's ranking shows the dominance of Asian cities, taking up 7 positions in the top 10, including: Chiang Mai (Thailand), Tokyo (Japan), Bangkok (Thailand), Jaipur (India), Hoi An (Vietnam), Kyoto (Japan) and Ubud (Indonesia).
The list of the world's best cities is based on a reader survey. Cities are voted on the criteria: impressive sights, quality hotels, vibrant cuisine, unique historical culture and a unique atmosphere that is hard to find elsewhere.
A livable city is not only about vibrant neighborhoods or unique cuisine, but also about convenient transportation, lots of green space and an open environment. The "value for money" criterion is also emphasized, as many cities offer experiences worth the money spent by tourists.
