World's Best Places to Live

The current World's Best Places to Live competition is now closed. If you let us know where you think is the best place to live in the world before April 31, you could win a fabulous holiday. We’re offering one lucky reader a free week’s accommodation for two people at the five-star boutique hotel Albergo Villa Casanova, near Lucca, in Italy. As well as bed and breakfast for the week, there is a complimentary dinner with wine on the first night, plus two return flights to Pisa from anywhere in the world, courtesy of British Airways (up to a total value of £2,000; connections via a UK airport may be required).Winners will be notified by May 14. Further details of the competition and full terms and conditions can be found here.

If you didn't enter, don't worry - a new competition will be announced shortly. Just watch this space... and in the meantime, why not add a pin to our World’s Best Places To Live map anyway (you'll be asked to register your details when you add a pin for the first time)? Whether it’s a particular street in Paris, a houseboat in Hanoi, an ancient thatched cottage in Somerset or a modern condominium block in Miami, you can be as specific or general as you like, you can send us as many locations as you want, and you can comment on other people’s choices, too..
