A new study by financial and retirement services company Mercer named the best and worst European\u00a0cities for British expats to live in.<\/p>\n

The experts analysed the political stability, healthcare, education and infrastructure of each nation to determine the best option for those who want to relocate to another country and enjoy retirement abroad.<\/p>\n

According to the research, the best cities to live in as an expat are Vienna in Austria, Zurich, in Switzerland, Auckland, in New Zealand, Copenhagen, in Denmark, and Geneva, in Switzerland.<\/p>\n

Vienna was recently named the world’s most liveable city by the Economist’s annual index. The city also ranked in the top 10 for quality of life on InterNations’ Expat Insider 2022 due to travel, and health and wellbeing.<\/p>\n

InterNations stated that Vienna is a pleasant city with \u201cgreen\u201d goods and services. A US expat explained: \u201cI like the huge variety of things to do and the ability to get around with public transportation.\u201d<\/p>\n

On the social media platform Quora, an expat shared what life in Vienna is like. Alen explained: \u201cIn Vienna, the locals are friendly and welcoming, making it easier for expats to acclimate to their new surroundings.<\/p>\n

“However, the language and cultural barriers, coupled with the bureaucratic hurdles of obtaining work and residency permits, can pose a challenge for some expats.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another expat shared his experience saying: \u201cI have lived all over the place. Germany, France, England, the US, Afghanistan – to name the major ones where I spent at least a year, and 14 years ago I went to Vienna – the place where I finally settled down after decades of roaming the world. People are mostly very friendly and welcoming.\u201d<\/p>\n
