Gen Z has named two Australian cities among the world's best to live in
Some cities just get Gen Z. Whether it's buzzing nightlife, creative culture or affordable fun, they know how to help young adults (aged 13-28 in 2025) live their best lives. So Time Out quizzed thousands of Gen Zs around the world to figure out which cities are as good to live in as a 3am kebab after a big night out. This data comes from Time Out's annual ranking of the world's best cities, which is based on a survey of 18,500 locals who share their opinions on everything from food and culture to nightlife and green spaces. But what makes a city great means something different to each generation, and that's why we dug a little deeper into the data from the under-30s to find out what they actually value, including affordability, great nightlife, an accessible cultural scene, walkability and ease of meeting new people. Australia's cultural capital, Melbourne, has landed in second place (slay!), beating out zoomer hot spots like Barcelona, Edinburgh and Mexico City. According to the data, 77 per cent of Gen Z described Melbourne as diverse and inclusive, with a whopping 96 per cent giving high ratings to the city's art and culture scene. Our beloved city also scored highly for quality of life, with an impressive 91 per cent of twenty-somethings saying the quality of life in Melbourne is 'good' or 'amazing'. We reached out to our Gen Z audience via Instagram to discover exactly what they love most about Melbourne – and yep, the responses well and truly confirmed the global findings. The most common answer was just how multicultural our city is, with Melbourne's café culture also getting plenty of mentions (given how twenty-somethings are gravitating towards 'third spaces' that offer a matcha-fuelled antidote to nightlife fatigue, we're not surprised in the slightest). Street art, sport, the electronic music scene, theatre and how safe the city is were also specified. Sydney just missed out on a top ten spot, ranking as the 11th-best city for Gen Z to live in worldwide. Its housing market is more unaffordable than Melbourne's, and Sydneysiders have a reputation for going to bed earlier than most – but on the whole, it's a fabulous place to live and work in your twenties. So, which city snagged the top spot for Gen Zs? It was none other than Bangkok. The Thai capital took the crown thanks to its stand-out scores in happiness (84 per cent of Gen Z say they're happy living there) and affordability (71 per cent say it's a budget-friendly city to live in). Rounding out the top five behind Melbourne were Cape Town, New York City and Copenhagen. These are the 20 best cities for Gen Z Bangkok, Thailand Melbourne, Australia Cape Town, South Africa New York City, United States Copenhagen, Denmark Barcelona, Spain Edinburgh, United Kingdom Mexico City, Mexico London, United Kingdom Shanghai, China Sydney, Australia Beijing, China Paris, France Tokyo, Japan Berlin, Germany Seville, Spain Chicago, United States Chiang Mai, Thailand Prague, Czech Republic Lisbon, Portugal Stay in the loop: sign up for our free Time Out Australia newsletter for more news, travel inspo and activity ideas, straight to your inbox. 😱 Four Aussie cities ranked among the 50 best in the world for 2025 🍰 The history of Australia can be told entirely in cake – how many have you tried? ⭐️

Move over, Melbourne millennials – Gen Z (you know, those born between 1997 and 2012) have well and truly stepped into the spotlight, and they've got thoughts on the best cities for young people right now. Every year, Time Out releases its annual ranking of the world's greatest cities (ICYMI, Melbourne was named the world's fourth best). This comprehensive survey quizzes more than 18,500 locals on everything from their city's nightlife, food and culture, as well as important lifestyle factors like happiness, access to green space and walkability. These insights were then filtered to include only responses from those aged 30 and under, revealing which city is best for Gen Z in 2025. And, drum roll please... Melbourne has landed in second place (slay!), beating out zoomer hot spots like Barcelona, Edinburgh and Mexico City. According to the data, 77 per cent of Gen Z described Melbourne as diverse and inclusive, with a whopping 96 per cent giving high ratings to the city's art and culture scene. Our beloved city also scored highly for quality of life, with an impressive 91 per cent of twenty-somethings saying the quality of life in Melbourne is 'good' or 'amazing'.

This is the best attraction in NYC right now, according to Time Out
New Yorkers are spoiled for choice when it comes to things to do. From massive museums to quirkier options, you'd have to visit a different cultural institution every weekend to scratch the surface. But here at Time Out, it's our job as professional culture vultures to visit every single one to discover what's new and what's outstanding. We've journeyed across the five boroughs to bring you our list of New York City's best attractions, freshly updated for August 2025. And we're coming at you with a brand-new number one that you must add to your list. Right now, the top attraction in New York City is The Frick Collection, which houses an awe-inspiring assemblage of art from the 1400s to the 1800s. It's the only NYC attraction where you can see an impressive collection of Renaissance art inside the palatial home of the art collector, and that alone would earn it the top spot—but it also houses a five-star restaurant. This opulent Upper East Side mansion-turned-museum had been closed for five years, and it reopened this spring with the addition of 10 new galleries inside the formerly off-limits second story. Before it was a museum, the entire mansion was home to the family of Henry Clay Frick, a steel magnate from Pittsburgh. Even after Frick bequeathed the building and his vast art collection to the public, the second floor of the building remained closed. This area, which previously served as the family's private quarters, included bedrooms, a breakfast room and several sitting rooms. Now, you can pretend to live like a Frick as you wander from room to room imagining what it was like to live in this resplendent home. Despite the incredible wealth that practically drips from floor to ceiling, the mansion doesn't feel stuffy. Instead, the space feels warm and inviting—like you're visiting a benevolent, rich uncle's house. On the second floor, don't miss two period rooms designed to look as they did in 1935. There's the Boucher Room, a fancy sitting room with decorative wall panels and a grand fireplace. Also visit the Breakfast Room, adorned with blue wallpaper and filled with Barbizon-style art said to remind Frick of his Southwestern Pennsylvania roots. In addition to opening up the second floor, the renovation restored existing galleries on the first floor as well. You'll find pieces by world-class artists, including Rembrandt, Vermeer, Renoir, Monet, Manet, Degas and so many more. Sculptural pieces dot each room as well, along with ornate furniture. The ground floor is home to a reflecting pool, which draws crowds for photos. It's the only place in the museum where photography is allowed. Also don't miss dining at Westmoreland, which is less of a museum cafe and more of a full-scale restaurant in a museum. Our restaurant reviewer gave it five stars, calling it 'precisely the elevated, straightforward spot you need to rest after a day spent among the art.' Be sure to make a reservation. When I visited The Frick Collection recently on a pay-what-you-wish afternoon, a line snaked around the front entrance, and the energy inside was buzzy. We New Yorkers and tourists may have never gotten an invite to a ball at the Frick's mansion, but shuffling through the home's hallways is the next best thing. And right now, it's the best thing to do in NYC. Hours and pricing The Frick Collection is open Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday from 10:30am to 5:30pm. It'' also open on Fridays with extended hours from 10:30am to 8:30pm. Adult tickets cost $30 per person. Pay-what-you-wish admission is available on Wednesdays from 1:30 to 5:30pm. No matter when you visit, you'll need to book tickets in advance. Time Out tips Remember when we said that visiting is kind of like dropping by an rich uncle's house? Well, that comes with rules—a lot of them. It's best to know the rules in advance, so there are no surprises. Here are a few things that aren't allowed: kids under age 10; food and drinks; carrying coats (you must wear or check your coat); and the use of pens or colored pencils. Most difficult in this day and age: no photography. The only place you can take photos is in the Garden Court and other public spaces outside of the galleries.
