Vienna named ‘most liveable city’

The Austrian capital Vienna has made a comeback as the world's most liveable city, according to an annual report from the Economist published yesterday.

The Ukrainian capital Kyiv was not included this year after Russia invaded the country in late February, while Russian cities Moscow and St Petersburg fell in the rankings over "censorship".

The Austrian capital was followed by Copenhagen and Zurich. Fellow Swiss city Geneva came sixth, Frankfurt seventh, and the Netherlands' Amsterdam ninth.
