What millions of visitors to Vienna find exhilarating is once again confirmed by Mercer's international comparative study: Vienna remains top-notch.

Until 2019, the international consulting firm Mercer conducted an annual global study to assess the quality of life in major cities. Vienna maintained the number 1 spot for 10 years. After a pause due to the pandemic, Vienna is once again awarded the city with the highest quality of life for expats in 2023.
