The experts asked almost 4,000 punters about their experiences visiting the cities and different things about their stay.
They were asked to give five-star ratings on their accommodation, food and drink, cultural sights and tourist attractions, ease of getting around, lack of crowds, and value for money.
Each city was then given an overall score based on visitors’ overall satisfaction and how likely they were to recommend visiting there to other people.
One city came out as the clear winner across the whole of the UK.
Liverpool took the top place in the large cities category with a whopping score of 84 per cent, with city breakers giving it full marks for cultural sights and tourist attractions.
But it was a Scottish city that managed to cinch the second-place spot.
The popular destination beat out several popular destinations for the silver medal place.
It scored higher than Manchester, Belfast and even London in the rankings.
Edinburgh came in joint-second with York with an impressive final score of 83 per cent.
Visitors said the Scottish capital is “bursting with cultural activities”.
Tourists gave the city an impressive FIVE STARS for cultural sights and tourist attractions.
Punters also gave it a four star score four stars for food and drink, shopping, ease of getting around, and overall value for money.
Rory Boland, Editor of Which? Travel, said: “Whether you’re after vibrant nightlife, world class museums or a first rate dining experience, our survey shows that the UK has a wealth of fantastic cities just waiting to be explored.
“Liverpool stood out among the UK’s large cities for its fantastic cultural scene and buzzing atmosphere, beating London and the UK’s other capital cities to take first place.
“For those seeking a more laid-back destination, Somerset is the place to be, with both Bath and Wells scoring highly, and each offering a wealth of historical and cultural sights.”
