Rating of the best cities in the world — 2026. What place does Minsk take?

From investments in culture to cutting-edge technologies: The Global Cities Index 2026 shows what exactly makes the world's leading cities so attractive for living and traveling.

What helps a city stand out on the global stage and what makes it a great place to visit? According to the Global Cities Index 2026 from Oxford Economics, the answer goes far beyond economic development or beautiful architecture.

The index evaluates 1000 cities based on five indicators: governance, economics, human capital, environment, and quality of life.

This year, New York, London, and Paris took the top spots in the ranking. Cities such as Seattle and Dublin also achieved high positions.

Minsk ranked 604th among a thousand cities based on a combination of parameters. Notably, Minsk is only 904th in economic indicators, 173rd in quality of life, and 772nd in human capital.

Prague is in 51st place by a combination of factors, Warsaw is in 61st place, Tallinn is 207th, Vilnius is 264th, Riga is 351st, and Kyiv is in 304th place.
