Copenhagen trumps Vienna: The new number one of the quality of life!
Wien, Österreich - In the latest analysis of the quality of life, Copenhagen Vienna came from the throne. According to the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU), the Danish capital now leads the ranking that Vienna has been proud since 2022. The Austrians now have to be satisfied with second place, which is equivalent to a certain disillusionment. The new index clearly shows that Copenhagen captivates with superior values in the areas of stability, infrastructure and education. So reports BusinessTotraveller about the fact that the Danish city was able to achieve an index value of 98.1, while Vienna remains at 97,1
The statistics are impressive, but what are the reasons for Vienna's descent? A crucial factor seems to be the security balance, which was negatively influenced by a canceled concert, among other things. The stability values within Europe and Asia have also dropped overall. British cities such as London, Manchester and Edinburgh have also lost a lot, while no German metropolis can be found in the top ten.

What does that mean for Vienna? After a high-altitude flight in recent years, which in 2020 saw a short low point according to the challenges of Corona pandemic, the city is now on the way back. Where the mood of the citizens once flourished through a variety of social programs and a strong healthcare system, it is now noticeable how external factors can affect the attitude to life. This development does not remain unnoticed, even if Vienna and Zurich share second place, the comparison with the first -placed Copenhagen shows that the way back into the top position is not easy.
The future remains exciting: How will the security situation and other factors develop in the coming years? It remains to be seen whether Vienna can hold its place in the ranking, while Copenhagen continues to shine at the top. Time will show which city can ultimately establish itself as the most livable.
