Compare two cities

455 head-to-head comparisons of cities couples often weigh against each other. We start from each country's best-known cities, the ones most read about on English Wikipedia over the past year, and pair them with each other, with the most similar cities abroad and with well-known neighbours across a border. Each one puts cost, tax, climate, safety, healthcare, internet, English and residency side by side, using the same data as our city pages.
