Those behind the annual Readers' Choice Survey said it was "no surprise readers adore Melbourne", which was commended for being one of the "classiest cities in the world".
Called "capital of cool" Melbourne was praised for boasting an abundance of amazing nightlife, food and hotels, but was also praised for its parks and "fabulous" public art, and its people's "wonderful sense of humour".
But you don't need to tell us that, right?
We Melburnians may be hip, but across the ditch in "clean, youthful, adventurous and beautiful" Auckland, resident Kiwis were not only commended for their friendliness, but for their sense of humour and their view of life that is "something to aspire to attain".
Readers also raved about the Kiwi's biggest city's clear air, fresh food and amazing culture. "Such a gorgeous city on the water", gushed one. Culture also rated highly in voter's estimations, and a trip to Auckland Museum for its Maori collections is "a must".
"The most beautiful large city in the world" Sydney, also fared well, taking out fifth spot for its "breathtaking" harbour and beaches. According to Conde Nast, its inhabitants are renowned for being "always so helpful", and "they love Americans!"
