For the third consecutive year, the Austrian capital has been crowned the most liveable city in the world out of the 173 listed in The Economist’s annual Global Liveability Index.

The city’s grip on the top spot seems unassailable, with 2024 marking the ninth occasion out of the last 11 index reports it has taken the top spot.

“The Vienna of classical music and Habsburg razzmatazz is surprisingly edgy when you deviate from the usual tourist trail. Dive into under-the-radar neighbourhoods, linger in backstreet cafés, feel the summer vibes on Danube Island, nose around farmers’ markets or hook onto socially minded tours and you’ll discover a far more progressive side to the city. It’s this ability to waltz between past and present, urban and outdoors that places Vienna firmly at the top of the charts time and again when it comes to the world’s greenest and most liveable, loveable cities.” - Vienna travel guide, The Times
