Find Your Perfect Place: Best Cities to Live In Right Now

The world is a giant place. Different cultures, different countries, and cities. Every city has its soul, but what makes a city a great place to live in? Is it nature, the parks, the employment opportunities, nightlife, or something else? No one can answer that question since it depends on who you ask. But still, some cities are objectively better than others if you are looking for a permanent residence.

We will list you the cities we think are the best places to live in the world!

1. Vienna

According to almost every significant statistic and poll, Vienna is undoubtedly the best city to live in. It is a jack of all trades. Vienna is a city with great history, considering it was the capital of once the strongest force in the world, The Habsburg Monarchy. Apart from that, it’s located in Austria, which is one of the wealthiest European nations. When you think it can’t get better, it does. The city of Vienna is one of the cleanest cities I have ever visited in my life; I didn’t see a single piece of paper on the floor while staying in it.

2. Geneva

It’s no surprise to have a Swiss country on this list. Geneva is one of the most beautiful cities in the world, with a moderate climate, pleasant warm summers, and snowy but not freezing winters. The city has one of the biggest salaries in the world at this moment, with the minimum monthly salary being close to 3000 USD. It sits on the banks of a beautiful Lake Geneva, which acts as a symbol for the city with its unsurpassed beauty.

3. Melbourne

The gem from the land down under. Melbourne is one of Australia’s biggest cities, sitting comfortably on the southeastern part of the continent. It is overall a great place to visit as well to live in. The salary index is quite high, and the healthcare and education systems are at formidable levels.

4. Toronto

Canada’s biggest city takes our fourth place. It ranked among the top 10 cities to live in the world according to Forbes as well. We rank it a bit higher due to its amazing skyline, healthcare, and multicultural diversity. It is most definitely one of the best places to live in the world.

5. Amsterdam

Another city which we simply can’t place any higher simply due to the awesomeness of the previous ones is Amsterdam. The Dutch Capital takes our fifth place due to the incredibly high number of museums, cafes, and diversity. It also ranks this high due to the low pollution of the city. Over 95% of Amsterdam’s population use bicycles as a main form of transport, reducing the carbon footprint of the city and making it a livable oasis that we all dream about.

6. New York

While it may not be as pretty, cultured, and historic as its predecessors from this list, New York is a place of opportunity. A city on the Hudson is a home for everyone and is a place where anyone can find anything they need or want. It is a land of chance, with the biggest cultural diversity among all the cities on the list, going neck and neck with Toronto.

7. Podgorica

You may be surprised and have probably never heard of this place, but Podgorica is the capital of Montenegro. It is also the hometown of the writer of this article, but I am not biased in any way. Podgorica is a city that flies under the radar for normal people, but you would be surprised if I told you that the wealthiest people in the world have some property in the city or somewhere in its vicinity. It is home to numerous famous Russian, Ukrainian, and Turkish oligarchs. This is due to Podgorica being a friendly place with a bunch of parks, good employment opportunities, free healthcare, and education. It is also among the oldest cities in this list, with archeological evidence confirming that it has been inhabited as far as 3000 B.C. Of course, it wasn’t a city back then but rather a settlement, but still, it counts.

8. Singapore

Singapore is a city-state located in Asia. Famous for its cleanliness and the highest living standard among all the previously mentioned cities. This is due to Singaporean laws. Singapore is probably the safest city to live in. This is due to their law, which is incredibly strict, and the punishments are extreme. The whole city is also covered by video surveillance, so the Singaporean peacekeepers keep you in their eye all of the time. The reason for being on the lower part of this list is the immense heat and humidity, which is something that not a lot of European or American people can take.

9. Osaka

Osaka is Japan’s financial backbone and one of the most visited cities in the whole country. It is renowned for its stability in fields such as law, healthcare, and education. It has numerous festivals during the year to keep the inhabitants on their happy side.

10. Dubai

While this may not seem like an orthodox choice, you would be surprised how many people actually prefer cities like Dubai as their home. The luxury shops, endless career opportunities, and incredible skyline make Dubai a perfect place for a person from 9 to 99 years of age.

11. Barcelona

Barcelona is one of the most astonishing cities in the old continent. It is renowned for its incredible architecture and countless museums. The Mediterranean climate helps Barca stay a fantastic place to live year after year due to its hot summers and pleasant winters.
