Vienna was again named the most livable city in the world. Our capital once again impressed with its high safety standards, well-developed public facilities and diverse cultural offer. The only downside was the lack of major sporting events. Vienna is followed by Copenhagen, Melbourne and Sydney. Vienna has already topped the rankings in 2018, 2019 and 2022.
Several Western European cities, including Stockholm, Rotterdam and London, fell sharply compared to 2022. While their viewing figures have not deteriorated significantly, cities in Asia and the Middle East are catching up.
According to the Economist report*, some Asian metropolises have benefited from the region’s recovery from the pandemic. Strikes and violent protests in Western Europe have also become more frequent in recent times.
The Canadian city of Vancouver came in fifth. Zurich, which finished third last year, dropped to sixth. There are no German cities in the top ten, with Frankfurt and Berlin sharing 17th place.
Paris landed in 24th place. According to the authors of the studies, the massive demonstrations against the pension reform affected the rating of the French capital, which was ranked 19th last year.
London ranks 46th this year, while New York ranks 69th. According to the analysis, Damascus, Tripoli, Lagos and Kiev are currently among the ten least attractive cities in the world.
* 30 criteria were assessed in the five categories of stability, health care, education, culture and environment and infrastructure. Vienna scored well all in all. The only downside was the lack of major sporting events.
