Vienna
Austria
With affordable housing, striking architecture, low crime rates and a good dose of culture, it isn't hard to see why Vienna tops most liveable-city lists. Rent is surprisingly affordable here, so bright and spacious Viennese apartments are highly-sought after, and most areas throughout the city are well-connected by reliable public transport systems (as well as by plenty of cycle routes). Impressive health care and education systems are paired with a strong cultural heritage - Beethoven, Klimt and Mozart all lived here - and if the city gets too much, it's only a short hop and a skip to the lush Austrian countryside. Yodel to your heart's content.
