At third place in the podium, it is the city of Cebu, in the Philippines, the second largest city in the country, which is surprised.

The city is sunny, green, and with a diversified nature, between sea and mountains.
But it is the discreet Bari, bordered by the turquoise waters of the Adriatic, in the superb region of Puglia, which is at the top of this ranking. The Italian city with 315,000 inhabitants combines Mediterranean charm, sweetness of life and accessible prices.
