The EIU's Global Liveability Index has crowned Vienna as the world's most liveable city. The Austrian capital is a perennial champion of these popular annual listings of places said to boast a notably enviable quality of life, based on factors like safety, health and education scores, access to transit and green space, cultural amenities, cost of living, and so forth.
