Sydney Ranks Third on Time Out’s Beauty List
Sydney has been named one of the world’s most beautiful cities for 2026, taking the No. 3 spot in Time Out’s global ranking. That puts it ahead of major destinations like Chicago, Lisbon and Paris, and makes Sydney the Australian city highlighted in Nine.com.au’s gallery.
Time Out says the list was based on a survey of more than 24,000 locals, who were asked if they would call their home city beautiful. In Sydney, 78% of residents said yes. Time Out pointed to the harbour views, the city skyline, and iconic landmarks like the Sydney Opera House as key reasons people love the look and feel of the city. Cape Town ranked first and Edinburgh came second, with other top-10 picks including Stockholm, Porto, Medellín and Riga.
