Breaking: Vienna Dethroned as World’s Most Livable City
After three years of reigning as the “Livable City in the World,” Vienna has been dethroned in the latest Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) ranking. The Danish capital, Copenhagen, has taken the top spot with a perfect score of 100 points in stability, education, and infrastructure. Vienna now shares the second place with Zurich.
Copenhagen Leads the Pack
Copenhagen’s victory comes as no surprise, given its consistent high performance in the EIU’s annual assessment. The city scored top marks in stability, education, and infrastructure, making it the most livable city globally. Vienna, however, lost points in the stability category, largely due to the controversial Taylor Swift concert stop plans last summer, which were ultimately canceled.
The Top 5 Most Livable Cities
- 1st place: Copenhagen, Denmark
- 2nd place: Vienna, Austria
- 2nd place: Zurich, Switzerland
- 3rd place: Melbourne, Australia
- 4th place: Geneva, Switzerland

What Makes a City Livable?
The EIU’s annual ranking assesses 173 cities worldwide using 30 indicators. These include healthcare, culture, the environment, and more. The ranking provides a comprehensive overview of what makes a city livable, offering insights into areas where cities excel and where they fall short.
Vienna’s Legacy and Future Prospects
Vienna’s reign as the world’s most livable city for three consecutive years is a testament to its commitment to quality of life. Despite the recent setback, the city remains a global benchmark for livability. As Vienna works to regain its top spot, other cities like Melbourne, Geneva, and Sydney continue to challenge the top positions.
