Vienna, Austria's capital, topped the ranks of Mercer in its 10th year. It was followed by Zurich, Switzerland. Number three was Vancouver, Canada. The fourth and fifth places are Auckland, New Zealand, and Munich, Germany.
Costa (Karla Costa), head of global circulation for Mercer's Pacific region, said that while security, climate, health care and high-quality real estate were Australia's strengths, congestion and convenience of international flights held back.
Last year, Melbourne was replaced by Vienna after losing the top spot in economic's Think Tank (The Economist Intelligence Unit) ranking of global livable cities.
