   I have created taxonomies by the names Company, Country and City.
   Now I want to display it on the index page like that:

   Listed companies: HP, IBM, Apple ...
   Listed countries: USA, Sweden, Canada ...
   Listed cities: NY, Stockholm, Toronto ...

   The first 3 tags are supposed to be the most popular in each taxonomy.
   I guess it can be done only by hard coding into the theme, but how can I do it?

   You should be able to use the get_terms() function.

   It would go something like this (UNTESTED):

   <?php $companies = get_terms('Company','orderby=count&order=DESC&fields=names');
   if ($companies) {
      echo '<p>Listed companies: ';
      $sep = '';
      foreach ($companies as $company) {
         echo $sep . $company;
         $sep = ', ';
      }
      echo '</p>';
   }?>

   the code works great except for that it doesn't link the tags, only showing them as a text.
   Also, is there a way to limit the nu,ber of shown tags, for example to the most popular 5?

   AFAIK, there is no way to create permalinks for custom taxonomies without a plugin - therefore, no links.

   As for limiting the number, add the number parameter:

   <?php $companies = get_terms('Company','orderby=count&order=DESC&fields=names&number=5');
   if ($companies) {
      echo '<p>Listed companies: ';
      $sep = '';
      foreach ($companies as $company) {
         echo $sep . $company;
         $sep = ', ';
      }
      echo '</p>';
   }?>
