NYC tops this ranking of best cities in the world

Euromonitor International's annual index of top destinations just dropped and our very own New York is the only city in the United States to make it into the top 10 (we land at position number eight, to be precise).

Produced in partnership with LightHouse, a data company, the ranking is the result of an analysis of towns from around the world based on criteria including health, tourism, safety, sustainability and economic performance, among others. 

Overall, Europe ranked as the most sought-after destination in the world. Seven out of the top 10 cities are European ones. 

Although New York is the only American town to make it to the top 10 list, an expanded ranking includes the city of Los Angeles at spot number 19.

While we're here, we'll take a moment to sing the praises of New York. After all, the city is always home to plenty of fun things to do, especially during the holiday season. From amazing ice skating rinks to holiday markets and outdoor art pieces that will make your head spin (in a good way!), New York always delivers.
