Quality of life
With a thriving economy, a stable political system, Austria's beauty
(not only the Austrian Alps bewitch with their majestic beauty)
and cultural diversity all contribute to a high-quality of lifestyle
for locals and tourists alike.
This impression of supreme wellbeing has now been affirmed by an
international quality of life survey:
Austria's capital Vienna ranks as one of the most attractive
cities world wide. The feeling of well-being enjoyed by locals
and tourists has been repeatedly confirmed by leading international
studies and city rankings.
Vienna - 1st place in a world wide quality
of life survey
The internationally acclaimed ranking by Mercer's
overall quality of life survey 2008 evaluates 215 cities worldwide.
The Top 5 cities with the best overall quality of life were Vienna
(Austria) in first place, Zurich (Switzerland) in second,
Geneva (Switzerland) in third and Vancouver (Canada) fourth and
Auckland (New Zealand) fifth.
Also within the EU capital city rankings Vienna (Austria)
is the unchallenged first.
The aim of international city rankings is to provide objective,
consistent and comprehensive data for comparison.
Subjective expectations, of course, vary but certain attributes
are objectively relevant: political stability, personal
safety and freedom, medical and health considerations,
educational situation, recreational options, availability
of consumer goods, housing and environmental situation.
In all of these attributes Vienna was judged to be well above average,
guaranteeing a secure, fun and immensely agreeable stay for locals
and visitors alike. Come and find out for yourself!
