The 10 Best Places to Live in the World Katherine LaGraveAugust 16, 2017 4:57 PM There's the world's most expensive city (and the world's most expensive city for expats). There's also the world's most beautiful city, and the world's friendliest cities. Now, the results are in for the Economist Intelligence Unit's "Global Liveability Report," which provides scores for lifestyle challenges in 140 cities worldwide. And no, it's not a particularly strong case of deja vu that you're experiencing: The top 10 this year mirror last year's rankings. The researchers do note, however, that there have been some significant changes further down the list, specifically with cities in the U.S. and the U.K., which slipped due to civil unrest and fears over terrorism. Counting down, here are the ten best places to live in the world... This gallery was originally published in 2016. It has been updated with new results.

Getty Rolf HickerOur world is filled with indescribable beauty, both man-made and natural, and it’s hard to say whether a single lifetime would truly be enough to truly experience all of it. Most of us will probably never see everything that the world has to offer us, but it’s worth a shot! Here are 40 incredible places around the world that are definitely worth adding to your bucket list. Some consider travel to be a luxury or even an unnecessary burden, while others consider it to be vitally important to living a fulfilled life. Still others don’t even have the opportunity to make that decision. But if you are afflicted with a case of wanderlust, you know that seeing the world’s sights can be a deeply moving and valuable experience. My personal favorite is ecological tourism – climbing mountains, exploring deserts or simply in drinking in the sights of the countryside. However, you can’t deny the appeal of some of the man-made structures as well – from the epic, ancient grandeur of the Pyramids of Giza to the sunny charm of sea-side villages in Greece. It’s a wonderful and beautiful world we live in, so make sure to see as much of it as you can before you kick the bucket! Here’s an excellent quote from St. Augustine that will hopefully inspire you to get your foot out the door: “The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page.” 1.
