Gary Illyes, one of our favorite Googlers, has revealed on Twitter which are his favorite Google offices. If you know Gary, he travels a lot for both business and pleasure - both on land, in sea (scuba diving) and also in the air (sky diving) - so he gets around to say the least.
He was asked where are his favorite Google campuses. He said:
- Google Zurich, Switzerland
- Google Tel Aviv, Israel
- Google Tokyo, Japan
He said there are no other Google offices that come close to these three.
Google Zurich, Google Tel Aviv, Google Tokyo. The rest are not even close to these so I wouldn't stack rank them

I've only been to the Tel Aviv office of those three and I don't believe it is all that more impressive than the New York office or main HQ in Mountain View. I've seen pictures of the Zurich office, that looks pretty amazing.
I suspect Gary is taking into account the culture in those cities and the people in those offices, not just how many toys the Google campus has on site. I do know the Search Console team is based in the Tel Aviv office, so that is a plus for that city.
