Budapest listed as the most liveable city in Eastern Europe

The Economist publishes its ranking of the most liveable cities in the world every year. The points are given based on more than 30 different aspects that contribute to the result. In the past few years, Melbourne and Vienna got first place (the latter won this year as well), but Budapest has nothing to be ashamed of, either, because it got the most points in the region. 

Among the aspects of the ranking made by The Economist, there are qualitative and quantitative factors as well, e.g., infrastructure, transport, health care, culture, environmental economy, stability, education, etc. There are four ranking categories of them: acceptable, tolerable, uncomfortable, and unacceptable – according to Roadster.hu. 

The maximum number of points that can be given is 100, and Vienna got 99.1 this year. Thus, it became the most liveable city in the world this year as well. Vienna is followed by Melbourne, Sydney, Osaka, Calgary, Vancouver, Toronto, Tokyo, and Copenhagen. Adelaide got tenth place.

Life is the best in Canada and Australia in general, but the living standards are high in Japan as well. Among the first ten places on the list, we can see only two European cities.
