Sydney stages major comeback in World's Best Cities ranking
Sydney has staged a major comeback in the annual ranking of the World's Best Cities, rising 25 places since last year's list.
Each year, research firm Resonance compile their list of the best cities in the world, with London coming out in the top spot for 2024 for the 10th time.
New York replaced Paris in second place on a top-10 list dominated by European cities, but the most impressive change to the rankings came from Sydney.
Sydney leapfrogged Melbourne in the rankings, and jumped from 35th to 10th place in just one year.
Melbourne, which was the top-ranked Australian city last year in 31st place, also improved its position to 25th, while Perth at 83rd and Brisbane in 90th rounded out the Aussie cities.
