Ever wondered, which city in the world is the best one to live in?
The Economist has the answer: In its Liveability Ranking, the magazine conducted a search for the best places to live and visit around the globe.

The world's most liveable city, according to the survey, is Vancouver, followed by Vienna, and Melbourne. Factors ranged from stability, health care, culture and environment, to education, and infrastructure.

Two German cities rank among the top 20; Hamburg is taking 14th, Frankfurt 19th place. The least desirable city to live in at the moment? Harare, Simbabwe.
For more information, check out the Liveability Ranking at Economist.com.

Even if you are not planning on living in Hamburg or Frankfurt - how about visiting?
