Forget Auckland, or even some of the cities across the Tasman, Wellington's been ranked the best place to live in the world.
The title comes following a Deutsche Bank global study of 47 cities, looking at everything from the cost of living, pollution, climate and house prices.
Wellington Ambassador and Wellington City Councillor Simon Woolf said it is fantastic to be top of the world.
"One of the things that tickles me is that Auckland did not feature, and in the top two there are no Australian cities either."
Edinburgh in Scotland was ranked second.
