Athens climbs in global liveability rankings as Australian cities dominate top 10

·

Athens has risen six places in the 2025 Global Liveability Index, now ranked 85th with an overall score of 78.1.

The Greek capital was among the biggest movers in the Economist Intelligence Unit’s annual assessment, which measures 173 cities on stability, healthcare, education, culture and environment, and infrastructure.

While Athens made progress, Australia emerged as a standout performer, securing three spots in the top 10.

Melbourne led the Australian cities at number four, followed by Sydney at six and Adelaide at nine. All three earned perfect scores in healthcare and education.

Denmark’s capital Copenhagen topped the list, ending Vienna’s three-year reign. Vienna tied for second place with Zurich, while Geneva ranked fifth.

Auckland and Osaka shared seventh place, and Vancouver rounded out the top 10.

The report noted a broader global trend of declining stability, citing ongoing geopolitical tensions and civil unrest.
