How we score

Every score is transparent. We tag each city on 5–8 dimensions (safety, cost tier, environment, vibe, food/culture/nature depth). Each traveller persona has a fixed weighting formula β€” a family traveller values safety and family infrastructure heavily; a digital nomad values cost and cowork density. Scores are the weighted sum, clamped 0–100.
