EUROPE’S MOST LIVABLE CITIES

Each year, two global surveys, Mercer's Quality of Living Survey and the Economist Intelligence Unit Liveability Index, measure metrics such as crime rates, healthcare, infrastructure, quality of water, levels of corruption, culture and education, down to availability of sporting facilities and environmental concerns. They then decide which cities in the world are the best to live and thrive in.
