According to a report by the EIU, Vienna is the world's most livable city.
The EIU ranked Austria's capital second. Canada and Switzerland were ranked third and fifth respectively.
Western Europe and Canada dominated the top 10. The cities of Osaka, Japan and Melbourne, Australia were ranked in the top 10.
The global liveability index is based on a number of factors including healthcare, culture, education, and stability.
Vienna, which has a population of around 2 million, was the top ranked city in both of the last two years. The city's emergence from the Pandemic helped push it back up to the top spot.
"Stability and good infrastructure are the city's main charms for its inhabitants, supported by good healthcare and plenty of opportunities for culture and entertainment," according to the EIU.
