Time Out asked 27,000 people to rank their favorite cities in the world and Chicago came VERY close to the top.

The City is considered by this survey to be the second most beautiful city in the world.  It only lost out to Prague, making Chicago the most beautiful city in North America.

In the ‘Best City’ rank, Chicago came in about 12th place… which is still pretty good, considering how many cities there are in the world!  Chicago got high marks for its food, architecture and beauty, and for being friendly.  We were also considered the second funnest city in the world (only being beat by Tel Aviv); another great title for the Second City to have under its belt!
