10 Best cities To live!!

Inside the post you will see the ten best cities of our planet, according to Mercer's 2009 Quality of Living survey.

10. Sydney, Australia

Australia's largest city, with a population of nearly four and a half million, Sydney's beaches, beautiful harbour and cultural attractions - including the Sydney Opera House - are its big draws, although, according to Mercer, it is the world's 15th most expensive city.

9. Bern, Switzerland

With a population of around 128,000, Bern is Switzerland's fifth most inhabited city. The medieval centre is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, while Albert Einstein once lived and worked in the city as a patent office clerk.

8. Frankfurt, Germany

The largest financial centre on the continent, Frankfurt is the seat of the European Central Bank and the German Federal Bank. The city's key sights include its 14th-century Gothic cathedral and a host of futuristic skyscrapers.

7. Munich, Germany

Germany's third-largest city with around 1.36 million inhabitants, the Bavarian capital also boasts plenty of Gothic architecture. Munich was heavily damaged by allied bombing during World War II, but recovered to host the Olympic Games in 1972.

6.Dusseldorf, Germany

Situated on the Rhine, the city is renowned as a centre for German fashion, advertising and telecommunications, while the Dusseldorf Karneval attracts millions of visitors each year. The city is twinned with Warsaw, Moscow, Cairo and Reading.

5. Auckland, New Zealand

Home to 31 per cent of New Zealand's population, Auckland boast two harbours - Waitemata to the north and Manukau to the south, helping earn its nickname: the City of Sails.

4.Vancouver, Canada

Consistently ranking among the cleanest, most livable cities in the world, Vancouver possesses an ethnically-diverse population, while it has become a centre for shipping, film production and a popular tourist destination.

3. Geneva, Switzerland

With a population of around 185,000, Geneva is best known for diplomacy (it is home to various UN and Red Cross agencies), finance and the CERN nuclear research facility - birthplace of the World Wide Web and the Large Hadron Collider.

2. Zurich, Switzerland

One of Europe's richest cities and home to a wealth of multilingual Europeans, Zurich has attracted the likes of IBM, UBS, Google and Microsoft - each of whom has offices in the city. Novelist James Joyce died and was buried in Zurich.

1. Vienna, Austria

The world's best city in which to live, according to Mercer, Vienna boasts great economic, cultural and political strength, was the birthplace of Marie Antoinette and Sigmund Freud and has been sung about by Ultravox and Billy Joel.

Yes i was quiet surprised to see vienna at first place. It may have some historical monuments, but i think not so ideal to live as compared to others.

Vancouver is cool from many aspects.

Germany, and switzerland rules in the list with 6 cities for both.

If there has to be list of 10 worst cities, it wud be from africa and asia.

My elder bro was in vancouver for 1.5yrs. Even Auckland is cool.
