Vienna – The Most Liveable City in the World for Third Consecutive Year.

Vienna has been named the most liveable city in the world for the third consecutive year according to The Global Liveability Index. Renowned for its rich culture, including classical music, the grand Imperial Palace of Hofburg, and top-tier museums, Vienna offers good living conditions across various factors related to quality of life.

The report by the Economist Intelligence Unit considers 30 factors across five categories – stability, healthcare, culture and environment, education, and infrastructure when determining rankings. Vienna received perfect scores in all categories except for culture and environment. Notably, Vienna is not the only Western European city to excel in liveability rankings. Copenhagen and Zürich followed closely behind Vienna in the rankings.

Other top-ranking cities included Sydney, Vancouver, Osaka, and Auckland. The report highlighted Canada and Switzerland as countries with multiple cities in the top ten.

Meanwhile, Vienna is poised to surpass France as the world’s most visited destination. In addition to its cultural appeal and livable lifestyle, Vienna also boasts a rich history dating back to its time as an imperial capital. Visitors can explore iconic landmarks such as St Stephen’s Cathedral and Schönbrunn Palace while enjoying local cuisine at traditional cafes like Cafe Central or modern eateries like Naschmarkt’s many food stalls.
