Voted best city to live in 2026: European capital defends title, see who else is in top 10

The Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) has released its annual list of the world's most livable cities, with Copenhagen retaining first place for the second consecutive year. This follows a shift from Vienna, which had previously dominated the top spot. The ranking considers over 30 factors across five categories including stability, healthcare, cultural environment, education, and infrastructure. While Copenhagen excels in multiple areas, experts note high living costs remain a challenge. Other notable changes include Melbourne moving up to third, Sydney jumping to fourth, and Zurich dropping to fifth. Australian and Western European cities dominate the top ten, with Tokyo rounding out the list.

Bias read (Center): The article presents a factual report on a non-political economic and social ranking, focusing on city livability metrics. It does not take a clear ideological stance, nor does it emphasize any particular political agenda. The framing remains neutral, presenting data and expert opinions without bias
