More info Get the latest Edinburgh Live breaking news on WhatsApp Edinburgh has been named among the top 20 best cities in the world for culture by Time Out. The capital was the only British city to make the list, after over 18,000 city dwellers were quizzed. They were asked about the quality, quantity, affordability, and accessibility of their city's cultural offerings. Edinburgh came third over all in the list. Other cities that made the list included Paris, Florence, Mexico City, Sydney and Barcelona. Time Out deputy editor Chiara Wilkinson said: "This Scottish city has it all: a world-leading arts festival, fantastic museums, a rich literary heritage. "Just when you think you've got to grips with Edinburgh's culture scene, a new thing pops up to prove you wrong."

In the survey, Edinburgh did best in its overall cultural rating (85 percent of locals rated it favourably), though a respectable 61 percent said Auld Reekie's galleries and museums were affordable.

18 Edinburgh pubs hailed by beer guru as city named ‘Britain's best place for a pint'
In a recent article in The i Paper, Phil wrote: 'Other cities might provide a similar variety, thanks to the craft revolution that's brought new breweries and new beer styles to almost every corner of the UK. But I found Edinburgh to have the strongest sense of place. Whichever pub or bar, or taproom you're in, you never forget you're in Edinburgh. 'There's a certain level of service there, a care for the customer and the beer, that I found to be consistently a notch above the rest. These are the venues that confirmed to me why the Scottish capital outshines all other towns and cities on a beer tour of Britain.' After arriving at Waverley Station, Phil went on a tour of Auld Reekie's best boozers, describing it as a dream gig. Take a look through our photo gallery to see the ones that impressed him most.
