25 Best Cities to Live in Europe (Watch Before You Move!)

[@Lamprosss409]

Are you serious? Athens is a living hell for residents right now

[@Airporttocitycenter]

Bologna is such an amazing choice! It’s the perfect compromise in Italy with its rich history, vibrant culture, and fantastic food scene. Plus, the cost of living is reasonable compared to other major Italian cities. The local community is incredibly welcoming, making it an ideal place for expats and anyone looking to experience authentic Italian life. If you’re considering moving to Europe, definitely check out Bologna! 🇮🇹✨

Oh no doubt, if you live outside of Lisboa it way cheaper. If you subtract the cost of rental property and just look at the rest of the costs, Portugal is very reasonable.

Hey Mike, I appreciate your input, but I’d like to clarify a few things. While I acknowledge the EIU rankings, they don't specifically cater to expats. My ranking is based on personal experiences and preferences. A different perspective doesn’t invalidate a review; it simply offers another viewpoint. Vienna may be highly rated, but I wouldn't recommend it as a place to live for several reasons: a challenging housing market, long, cold winters, reserved locals making it tough for expats to integrate, occasional unfriendliness in service industries, and a somewhat old-fashioned vibe. How long have you lived in Vienna? Have you had personal experiences there, or are you relying solely on the EIU report?

As for "mistakes" that other people have mentioned, they're inevitable, but I didn't think there were all that many in your video. You probably noticed yourself that you had footage from Ukraine when talking about Sofia, Bulgaria (as evidenced by the Ukrainian flag!). Also, I found your pronunciation of "Florence" a little odd, as though you might have never had an Auntie Florence or heard of old-time actress Florence Henderson! And don't tell Polish people that Poland is "Eastern" Europe! That's Russia, and the Poles are not all too fond of the Russians! And for a city that was "left off", how about Istanbul?

Nagyon szívesen! Haven't lived in all the cities on that list but I spent two beautiful years in Budapest, it's truly an amazing city ❤️

[@PUYBAG]

so beautiful. too proud

[@maroni64]

No Vienna - what a shame! I am Polish-American traveled to.most cities in Europe. There is no place like VIENNA!!!

[@martinm8149]

I am curious what Information you have used for this list. Though I agree that Copenhagen is a very expensive city, it is in the exact same range as most of the top cities on the list. Using the bureaucracy as an argument is surprising - especially putting it lover on the list than an Italian city. Denmark is one, if not the most, digitalized country in Europe, it can for a lot be difficult to grasp at first, there are systems in place to help internationals and once you understand it, it becomes easy. Making friends with the locals can be difficult - but its the same, if not worse for Stockholm and Amsterdam, but especially Copenhagen is such an international city now that there's is always possibily of finding friends. The work/life balance in Denmark is one of the best in Europe. Most international people who have lived around European cities including Amsterdam and Stockholm (which usually is comparable) makes Denmark and Copenhagen their final destination.

[@SoumitraSarkar-jl3fv]

The cosmopolitan city of Barcelona should have made it in this list.

[@geoinsider]

@@SoumitraSarkar-jl3fv Barcelona is indeed an amazing city, but it's not one I would personally recommend for relocating. I've explained my reasons in detail in another video, where I discuss the impact of overtourism on the local residents. I highly recommend watching: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b6Occ5Rop92BhZo

To someone who made this film - I assume that you did not visit Poland, Slovakia, Latvia etc. because you will know that vast majority of citizens can speak English. Not.just some young people.

[@geoinsider]

@@Grzegorz_Grzeg Actually, I did! I even lived in Warsaw for a few years. The younger crowd’s English is great, but the older folks… well, not so much 😅 And don’t even get me started on dealing with anything in urząd skarbowy! Plus, President Duda isn't exactly setting the best example either! 😂

Oslo,Norway???

[@nhallo7596]

Where is Hamburg? With the big Alster Lake and close to the North Sea for sure the highest life quality in Europe for me personally as well as the most beautiful city in Europe that I have seen so far. I travel across Europe a lot because of work and always love to visit Hamburg.

[@geoinsider]

@@nhallo7596 Thanks for sharing your experience! Hamburg sounds amazing, and I can see why it’s a favorite for you. With only 25 cities on the list, some great places inevitably don’t make the cut. Personally, Germany and Austria aren’t at the top of my list, but I totally get why they appeal to others. It’s all about finding what works best for you!

Hamburg is boring and other German cities are far better

I live in Madrid and I’m in love with this city, but a rooms are over 500 Eur month and apartments over 1.500 Eur month, how are you supposed to live with 2000 Eur/month?! Madrid is a wonderful but expensive city

[@BG.Defender]

Bro. I'm Bulgarian and i have traveled a lot in Europe. I'll tell you one thing. There is no more ugly and boring city in Europe than our capital Sofia. I love my country a lot, but i hate the ugliness of our capital 😄 Btw my favorite city in Europe is Nice (France). Absolutely stunning city, number one! Thanks for the video 👍

[@geoinsider]

Two years ago, I was visiting Vama Veche in Romania and decided to do a quick tour, which included a two-day visit to Sofia. I really liked it! While I understand it might not be everyone's favorite, I found some charming spots and had a memorable time. By the way, Nice is indeed a stunning city! Thanks for watching the video and sharing your thoughts. 👍

[@Okiejayjay]

Sofia is quite nice, how many cities in Europe are at the foot of a large mountain and have such interesting old architecture and ancient history.? Good food too.

[@Viki-iq4hd]

During the part about Sofia there is a photo of Kyiv, Ukraine.

[@ihorpedan2739]

1:15 It's Kyiv, Ukraine. 6:51 also Kyiv :D

[@sem34]

Lol, I noticed that too

[@_alurea_]

Hello I'm portugues, nice video, but lisbon isn't that affordable, you said 1400€ I do think it is a little more, and the minimum wage is 820€ but i just get like 750€ of it so the cost of living is 2 times expensier than what you have per month

[@narashivaya]

Talking about linguistic barriers is so stupid. If you move to another country you should learn local language. English is not the official language worldwide

[@geoinsider]

@@narashivaya Learning a new language is definitely important, but it’s not always that simple. Not everyone has the time, resources, or desire to become proficient in a new language, especially for relatively short stays I’ve already learned Spanish, Italian, and Hungarian, and while living in Vienna for a year, I decided not to learn German because it didn’t fit into my situation It’s essential to recognize that everyone’s circumstances are different, and we should respect their choices

[@SeanMorgan280]

If your'e not keen on living in a Big City, please consider Croatia, Slovenia and Montenegro. Affordable for Retiring Americans!

@@LoloThe258 That’s amazing! Out of all the places you’ve been, Trieste must have really left an impression. It’s such a beautiful and unique city, blending Italian, Austrian, and Slovenian influences. I can see why you'd want to spend more time there!

[@lapernice6978]

Munich at least 3100 Euros per month

[@automon]

Vilnius should have made the list.

[@uweherdel8496]

Why is Vienna not at your list , it is sometimes listed as number one at Europe or even at the world.

[@geoinsider]

@@uweherdel8496 I totally get why people love Vienna, and it’s often ranked super high. I spent some time there, but personally, I found it a bit boring and sterile. Just my opinion though, and it’s great that others enjoy it! 😊

[@solissolis4005]

Na Wien, Strasburg, Paris? 😮

[@TheVladadance]

a photo of Kyiv when showing Sofia, lol 😅 would you like to recommend living in a city under russ***ian rocket attacks? and another question: where did you take the average spend amount from? 1000€ in warsaw per month? only if you rent a room in a shared apartment, going out twice a month and don’t do any hobbies which should be paid for. also, did you compare it to the salaries? i agree that warsaw is a great city to live in, but that money part in the video is scam. make sure not to consider the costs as significant. 😅

[@shaz769]

Does it include renting a place?

[@geoinsider]

Yes, it does include renting a place, but it’s based on the cost of renting a studio and not necessarily in the city center

[@photosbyjb007]

Cambridge is the greatest city in Europe but you should get a Bike for getting around. Lot's of students involved in part time work will do anything for money 💰 🤑
