Also in the top 10 were Osaka in Japan, South Korean capital Seoul and Copenhagen in Denmark.
 

American cities New York and Los Angeles rose in this year’s rankings, thanks to currency appreciation. “A stronger US dollar last year has meant that cities in the US generally became more expensive globally, especially relative to last year’s ranking,” . Five years ago, New York and LA tied for 39th position.
