Vienna
The imperial capital of the Habsburg empire retains its grandeur through stunning architecture, world-class opera, café culture, and an extraordinary museum landscape. Vienna has been named the world's most liveable city multiple years running — a title it earns through a remarkable combination of culture, safety, infrastructure, and quality of life.
