Guess which city has defeated Melbourne to win the title of world’s most liveable city.

Here is a hint:

The city is located on the banks of Danube River and is the birthplace of famous artists and musicians including Mozart and Beethoven.

Full points to you if Vienna was your guess!

Each year, Economic Intelligence Unit conducts a survey in which 140 cities are scored out of 100 on the basis of factors like living standards, crime, transport infrastructure, access to education and healthcare, and political and economic stability.

For 7 years, Melbourne in Australia had been reigning the charts of the world’s most liveable city before losing to Vienna and dropping down to the second position.

Vienna, the capital of Austria, scored an ideal 99.1 score owing to its imperial history, baroque streetscapes, and vibrant epicurean scenes. The cultural city provides a plethora of experiences for the architecture admirers and music lovers. Its renowned drinking and dining scenes have put Vienna on the gastronomical world map. There are no reservations about it being one of the best cities in Europe to live and travel.
