To establish its ranking, Titan Travel first drew up an initial list of 60 of the most culturally attractive cities, using sources such as The Culture Trip and Time Out. Using World Population Review data, the site gathered the population of each destination. It then used TripAdvisor for all its cultural factors. Finally, the site collected the score of each destination for each factor and normalized them relative to each other to obtain a final score out of 10.
