I'm from Austria, so this is obviously biased, but in my experience, it really is as great as all these statistics make it seem. The biggest selling points are obviously the public transport and how green it is, but the thing I really like about it is the lack of smell. Most big cities I've been to have a distinct unpleasant smell in a lot of places. That is just not the case in 95% of Vienna. Also, a lot of the newer parts of the city are very pleasant places to be on foot. As you get into newly built areas, there are significantly less cars around and there is more space for walking and cycling. Its really nice. One small drawback that Vienna does have are the inhabitants themselves. I don't have much experience when it comes to interacting with people in other cities so I don't have a lot of comparisons, but Viennese people tend to be very private. It's not common to speak with strangers on the street in Austria. People like to keep to themselves most of the time.
I've been living there for my whole life and I have to say that it really depends where you live. If you want to see sights of course. Close to me there is sadly not much to see other than a kind of big green park. A little like the Times Square but much smaller. Otherwise I love my city.
Vienna is a fantastic city! Been there last month, and they really knew how to maintain historical landmarks combined with modern city life. Urban design is amazing and public transit system is smooth and easy to navigate. It’s been hot there, and they really took walkability to the next level; providing trees with shades in the heat. All in all, 10/10 city. Can’t wait to go back to the Austrian capital!
@@avacandide Have you seen pics and video of Vienna after WW2? It wasn't razed, but most buildings were damaged in some way, so were repaired and reconstructed...
@@stevemcgowen I have and I live in Vienna. Historical buildings you can see today were preserved. Most buildings from the 50s are ugly af, they didn't bother to rebuild the old stuff. Around 20 % of the city was damaged in air raids and most historical buildings actually survived. Some buildings like trainstation north were destroyed and are gone forever.
As an austrian who lives in Vienna, here are some more things, I think should be included: -the quality of our school/educational system is very high and super cheap/mostly free -Being a big city, Vienna has lots of recreation areas; along the danube or various parks (f.e. prater) -can´t stretch enough how good our public transportation is -fresh water! with direct acces to fresh, clean and cool mountain water, it can´t get any better -public fountains with drinkable water scattered all across vienna -multicultural; vienna is a home to many cultures and religions -the art and culture scene, not only museums but also publicly available areas to paint etc (f.e. graffiti) -very bike friendly -the nightlife, lots of clubs, bars, discos...
The „fresh water“-part is so important! My dad is a taxi driver here in vienna and from time to time it happens that tourists ask him which brand of water he recommends that they should buy, because they don’t know that our tap water isn’t just drinkable, but also amongst the best tap waters in the world. Travel guides and pages that write about vienna mention every tiny detail about the city, but always fail to mention how good our water supply is.
I live in Vienna and love it. It's definetly the best place to live, provided you are Austrian or a EU citizen. For us third-country nationals, however, the experience of living in this amazing city is stained by its incredibly dysfunctional immigration bureaucracy (the MA35). As a result, many high-skilled professionals, such as myself, end up moving elsewhere after a while (in my case, even though I love this city, I will not hesitate to move elsewhere in search for opportunities and less bureaucratic stress once I finish my PhD).
I'm a native viennese (even writing my masters thesis on the cultural stereotypes of vienna) and it makes me (even more) proud of reading about all the positive feedback and experiences people made. It's wonderful to read that so many visitors were able to make some good and great memories of this beautiful city.
I love Vienna. The many beautiful parks, the Ringstrasse. great museums, the Volksoper and the Staatsoper, the Philharmonic. What's not to love? Wish I had lived there. At least I can visit every couple of years.
@@laulinger8560 oh really? I live in Vienna so please tell me where the fuck I should get the fuck out to. Because I‘ve already been to many cities, both in Europe, US and Asia but none of them come even close to Vienna as far as the living standards are concerned.
Life-long Austrian Vienna resident here. I guess we're pretty good in a global context. But the people are often somewhat grumpy and like to complain. Service culture is not a top priority. Crime has definitely increased. But any American used to downtown curfews at night would probably feel very safe.
That's the thing tho :P We like to complain, but we often forget how good we actually have it. Like Qualtinger (an Austrian comedian, actor, reciter and author) said "The problem of every Viennese: You can't stand it in Vienna anymore. But not anywhere else either."
No wonder crime has increased, just look at how the demographics of the city have developed in recent decades, especially the young generation, especially the schools.
@@SilverWave64 I noticed that there is so many muslim people in Vienna, but on other hand, all of them were kind and I had no problem with them and they all speak English, anyway, I am glad that we have Vietnamese instead of muslims. 🙂
I live and was born there and i am thankful every day for that. We are fucking blessed and lucky to live in Vienna. Even though some idiots tend to complain here a lot, but thats another story (of austrian behaviour)^^ And yes, our public transport system is one of a kind. You can get to any place pretty fast and it doesnt cost much. And they are still building it further, an entire new Metro Line ist just being built as we speak. Also, it is a very clean city and has great city administration. The men who are keeping our city clean and take the garbage away do a fantastic job and it all works fine. I might also add, that we are somewhat a modern city, but many things are the entire opposite. Like old tramways that are still around, or old buildings without an elevator or anything. If you compare some things to like, say, Japan - we are almost medieval compared to them^^ But it kinda fits into the entire package of our lifestyle and our beautiful city.
I'd rather say grumpy than cold and rude. But that's to be expected. As someone mentioned once before - that grumpy attitude pushes the city to always improve - it's never good enough 😊. As for you, now that you have admitted that you were served with a genuine Viennese "warm" welcome, you can't ask for your money back 😊
I have lived in Munich, Germany, for 11 years and moved to Vienna in 2020, shortly before the start of the pandemic. During that time, when you would expect people to be extra burdened and grumpy, I have experienced more casual kindness (at the supermarket checkout, in public transport and general in public) and fun and humorous small talk with people than I have ever had in all my time spent in Munich. There also was a terror attack in 2021 in Vienna. The first one to ever happen there, I think. 4 people died. They put out the slogan "fuck off, asshole" in Austrian and moved on. The character of the city and the people hasn't changed since then. I perceive them as relaxed and down to earth as ever. There are, of course, grumpy and rude people here, too, but as far as I can tell, rude behavior is called out immediately. I experience it on my daily commute. Austrians are not afraid to speak their mind, so if they're bothered by something or someone, they might pick a fight, but I mostly thought, their reasons were justified.
Very cold and rude I would say, even for me as Czech, we are considered cold and rude, but what I saw in Vienna was too much even for me, especially in covid time. They were literally like "Halt! Papers!" 😀 I think muslims in Vienna were more kind than native people. I know that you doing your job, but as we say, give at least little life to that dying or how to translate that. 😀But it's possible that all those too cold people are former Czechoslovak refugees who think they are something better now.
I moved from Budapest to Vienna a year ago. I absolutely love that city almost as much as i did love Budapest. But still there are a few things for me that the others already mentioned: I really struggle to make contact with viennese people, they stick to their own probably, which is okay because there are sooo many other newbies for you ti connect with, and most of them are open great people. An other thing I didnt really experience is the very high profiency in english. Sure its not bad, but Stockholm or Amsterdam are on other levels. I really can recommend for anyone to move to Vienna, but for me i am eventually going to move back to Budapest, she is just holding a tight grip on me :)
I'm currently studying in Budapest and I've visited Vienna... I don't see that much difference in architecture or transportation, except economy Budapest is also beautiful.
100% agree with this. The locals attitude really should be a consideration in this. There place is amazing, the people - well I wouldn't know because after two months living here I haven't connected with a single one. Just expats as you say.
I love the transport system and how accessible Vienna is to other European countries- Venice is just a seven hour train ride away, for example. However, as a few people have already mentioned- some of the Viennese are rude and unfriendly. After five years of living here I have no Viennese friends. It's a great place if you want to be left alone and ignore people, lol.
I don't find the people to be so rude. I personally think it's more of a stereo type than a fact. Of course I encounter rude and unfriendly people, but this happens in every country and I don't see them every day.
@@spicynugget_0294 tbh, I didn't notice the lack of friendliness in Vienna until I visited Graz. There the people smiled and said good morning to me and I was a bit taken aback at first. Such a difference in attitude between two Austrian cities!
@@kenmarten6049 There is some truth to what you write, yet colloquialisms in larger cities usually tend to be harsher and one more often gets dealt with in a curtly manner. At least in the West. Think New York or Paris where some say it to be advisable to use one's elbows not to drown.
@@Flex2212 true but vienna is special. I moved here too a year ago and it is unbelievably difficult to befriend people here that are not also foreigners. A lot of viennese/austrians are totally non-receptive to even talking more than is absolutely necessary. To get any friends, I had to be totally annoying and arrange meetups with literally everyone I met, because almost noone takes the initiative in these things, it is almost always the newcomer who has to carry the weight at first. And I'm German! Can't imagine what it's like if you're from a completely different culture! Note: This is the experience of most skilled people or university students who come here
I lived in Vienna for one year. The city is really beautiful. I especially loved the Danube-Island which was close to my place. Within 15 minutes I could walked through the city and found myself in a green paradise. However, during my time there I missed a decent nightlife and in particular a proper club scene.
in vienna there are about 100? night clubs - several types for each music from jazz to dnb , also very big clubs where yóu can meet nice girls. i think you were mislead. i have been to 20 countries for parties - vienna is among the better cities for it
Pratersauna, Grelle Forelle, Werk, Flex, Celeste,....... and so many more. Backl Market. So many great Techno clubs. I live in Berlin and have to say that the nightlife i Vienna is very great.
@@Solaris0071 I also lived in Berlin and the clubs were much better. When I went to Sisyphos for instance I could stay there the whole weekend. In Grelle Forelle the music was shut down at 6 am sharp. Don't get me wrong ... Berlin looks like a wasteland compared to Vienna, but the nightlife (especially clubs) is much better.
Visited last week!! Coming from India, obviously one can feel how different life is in these parts of the world. This made my determination to learn German and reach the B2 level in 2 years that much stronger. Can't wait to work harder to get my second master's and settle in either Austria or Germany.
I live in Canyon Country CA and will be in Vienna soon. I love the sunsets here but frankly yogurt seems to have more culture. Off to hear the Vienna Philharmonic!🎻
I have lived in Wien and attended school at Vienna international school my late father was a diplomat. Great city great people if the opportunity presents its self I would go back
Lived in Vienna for 2 years and half and I confirm everything that was said in the video. The only thing that I don't like much about Vienna is that people that serve you in bars are restaurant are often quite rude. Sometimes it really feels like they are making a big favor to serve you as a paying customer.
i live here my whole life long and i gotta say i was suprised to hear all that. Although i do not disagree i just didnt know all that (Especially the things with the Statistics)
I visited Vienna in 2016 and i loved it! Great transports, great architecture and quality of air. Despite that, i think i was the only guy who was pickpocketed there 😅
We can speak English, but for living there it IS recommended to learn German, especially the Austrian Standardvariety of German. Otherwise interactions with municipal officials is going to be... complicated at best. (It also helps with full integration, we're kinda wary of outsiders, ngl)
ive been living in vienna for 8 years and the life there is pretty good whenever you go you just seee a random shop so i got 2 gas stations and 3 shops near my house i dont need to waste any time going for a shop and also visitet some historic buildings
Copenhagen is definitely the cooler city to live in, although they public transpoet system is better in vienna and copenhagen is incredibly expensive. So both are cool:)
I live here and a few days ago i saw a broken glass bottle next to a playground, I called the citizen's government care hotline and told them, they sent a cleaning troop right away, and it was taken care of immediately and removed, now that's something you can't make up.
Yeah its good there. I actually like almost every City. It only so happens that I live in Vienna and there for dont need to change. All tho I would like to go to NYC or other cities to Check out all the differences.
No idea where you found the chart at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="166">02:46</a>, but comming from Croatia I can assure you that Split in Croatia and Novi Sad in Serbia are way way worse then Vienna when it comes to transportation
In <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="40">0:40</a> you showed Melbourne ranked 10th but at the end of the video you said it's Vienna's (ranked 1st) closest competitor ?? 🤔🤔
Vienna looks great! I like where I live in Victoria, it’s just a boat ride away from Vancouver and not nearly as large. I was born and raised in Calgary, pretty cool to see it on that list even if it’s a bit of a meme among Canadians that it would make it on there. Calgary isn’t exactly pretty or warm but it has everything you need in a city of around 1.5 million people and it’s big enough to have pro sports teams, good public transit including passenger rail, plentiful cheap housing and big name concert tours stop there, etc. The major drawback with the Canadian cities on the list is horrific car centric traffic and urban sprawl in general though.
Also, we have the most extensive public housing provider in Europe owning 2000000 units with 5000000 tenants paying less than 10 euros per squer meter.
But sadly they aren’t really building new flats and instead go for public-private partnerships that only open up a few flats. Our public housing mostly is a remnant of good policies from the 1920s and 1950-70s, with very little happening since then.
You forgot the biggest point. You have a whole Island within the city. Its like central park just better cause you can swim in the summer, or winter if you are that hard core
WTF Which normal person makes 52k/year here? That must be a paralell Vienna you are talking about because that is just not true. Not at all. Most people are glad if they get 1.500/month. Apart from that, quite accurate.
wait i traveled to damascus for a week this year and it seems really beautiful definetly better than many cities I've seen, I guess its ranking is politic
seriously? i have been to vienna many times and while i love the city, i never imagined it would rank first for anything, maybe except public transport which is very advanced. i am going to vienna again in 2 weeks btw for another 10 days, i will pay more attention to the city to see if this video reflects the reality that i may have missed.
as someone from vienna i highly recomend going to the "prater" and i don´t mean the amusementpark (well, you should visit that as wel haha), but the "green, or in german: grüner prater". it is the biggest greenspace in whole of europe! i was surprised they didn´t mention it in the video. you can walk or rent a bike and expore it for a whole day :)
@@sarahholzweber6181 ive been to the prater amusement park and paid for a ride in one of those, idk how you call it in english, lets say flying chairs that are attached to the main body of the machine by chains. Well those chains are so thin it convinced me to never do that again haha, but i will go and check out this green space that you mentioned. Thanks
@@sarahholzweber6181 I went to Prater because I expected nice western looking amusement park, but in reality, it was exactly the same what we have here in Czechia and we hate it, just cheap kitsch, except it's not cheap anymore and they have some accidents almost every year. I hope it's not owned by mafia as most of such places here in my country. 😀 They kicked those carousel people from our version of "Prater" in Prague and place is much better now, city is finally trying to restore that place and renew park and old exhibition grounds which were occupied by those "amusement park people" or how to call them to not beying called racist. The place is really much nicer now and with much better atmosphere, there was for example meeting of all european scouts in that place now, much better than carousel kitchs.
As a Czech originaly from Prague, I am not afraid to say that Vienna is overrated and Prague is much nicer city. Yes, you can still find many ugly places, but I can swear that you will find more ugly places in Vienna. I especially like our today Czech trend (you can see it in all our cities, not only Prague) that they restory cobblestones and remove old ugly patched asphalt, car drivers hate it, but city looks much better then. In Vienna, you have that ugly patched asphalt almost everywhere and it's not really green city. People who say Vienna is green must be from Sahara or something, they haven't seen a really green city with parks, meadows and forests inside of city. When you want to see green places in VIenna, you have to travel to Danube islands, or visit their parks, but most of their parks are baroque kitsch or how to call that or it's one long streed with trees alont like Prater, that'w not how I imagine a real park! Our parks have forests, meadows, ponds and it's more complicated terrain, so it looks more natural, it's not flat and straight patch with trees along or vice versa baroque garden. We have them too, but it's not a park, it's more like tourist atraction.
@@Pidalin the green prater is veeeery big, you just walked on the main way there with the trees :) its in the center of vienna and the biggest park in europe, which is crazy to me! I have never been to prag, but all of my friends say it's nicer than vienna too haha :D have to visit soon!
Up until this July (2023) I spent 12 beautiful years in Vienna. I lived pretty centrally, where city centar was within a walkable distance from my place: needed less than 20 min by foot to get to St.Stephen's. Then I moved to the 3rd most livable from this list: which is Zurich. Between the two, visually, Zurich is rather ugly and pretty provincial, but that is not the main issue. Living is more affordable and much more available in Vienna than in Zurich. There just aren't enough available places to live in Zurich. I think that is why Zurich fell down some places on this list in the last 2 years.
As an Austrian citizen I can tell you Vienna is a great country to live in if you are citizen or EU citizen. For outsiders it is really difficult because they face racism in certain areas, lots of issues with the ministry of immigration MA 35/BH and mainly because of the language. You MUST know German to survive here for EVERYTHING. (Doctor, finding an occupation, buying groceries, finding place to live, walking up to people…) Some are able to speak English but especially the ministries and authorities insist on speaking German! Additionally, be aware in Austria people do not speak German but dialect. Especially the elders always speak in their dialect which is really difficult to understand even for someone from Germany. Furthermore, as a foreigner in some ways you will always be treated as one no matter your German skills are great. Please note that due to some criminals from certain places the anger towards muslims is raising. It is very difficult to find good AND cheap apartments and some people try to exploit you. I paid 860€ for 42m2 and my neighbours pay 450€ for the same apartment size! If you come here for vacation, you will fall in love with the nature, the big variety of tourist spots, historical places, public transportation and the fresh water from the sink!
Melbourne can never compete with Vienna, on cost of living alone, same goes for Copenhagen Also education, healthcare, housing, childcare and retirement security are better in Vienna, Austria
I grew up in Austria, Graz to be specific, but I am living with my partner (Viennese) in Vienna for almost two years now. Culturally Vienna is fantastic! As a cultural anthropologist and historian by education, there are more job opportunities for me here in Vienna than in Graz. However, Vienna is not exactly the most climate-friendly city in Austria. I live in the 8. district and it is so hot here because they cut down all the big healthy trees to make parking spaces. The little trees they are planting instead are all dying because the city doesn´t give a sh****. Viennese are also known for being very grumpy and like to complain a lot. My partner loves to curse every time he watches local news. At the beginning of our relationship, I was seriously shocked that he has such a strong reaction when local politicians are being interviewed. It was really a culture shock because people in Graz are a lot more chill. Now, I got used to it. 🤣
I was born, lived most of my life in Vienna and completely agree with everything you said😂 The younger generation however is a bit different I must add. Also crime rate is much higher than known + corruption in politics. I grew up in the 11th and went to school in the 15th district. Saw with 15 years for the first time a glock, butterfly knifes, cocain, speed and weed > all in my school. A lot of young chechens, balkan and turkish youth gangs. Advice : stay away from parks at night if you can > especially the one close to Lugner City, längenfeld
Finally someone who said truth about Vienna, I've been there with my father and I saw such examples you talking about, it's not that green as people think and people are too cold there, it was really weird experience in covid time. Here in Czechia, they were always saying sorry in restaurants for all those restrictions, but in Vienna, they just put some papers (everything in German) in front of you and nobody helps you and you could clrearly see that they are annoyed that they see another tourists. Native people had some app in phone so they didn't have to fill papers, but I haven't found any informations in English so I didn't know what app and how to use that. I hope it was mainly covid what made our experience in Vienna that weird, but even city didn't really amaze us. I saw mainly cars and patched asphalt there. Here in Czech cities, trend is to plent trees and make no pedestrian zones and restore what was ugly in the past, I didn't expect Vienna beying so grey from car smog, only few important buildings are nice, but surrounding is traffic hell, it's mostly just parking which is destroying atmosphere of those historical places.
@@thcaustria7439 Same. I also grew up in the 11th district and also went there to school. Same, knifes, cocain, weed, many foreign gangs, not very nice. And yes, the parks at nights are a no go, or else you might not see the next day. So I wonder how this is the most liveable city
Yeah i live in vienna and its awesome for living in a town 👍🎶 but living on the land in Lower Austria (Niederösterreich) is even better near klosterneuburg wich is not far from vienna (only 10 Km)
The Kultursommer sadly was limited to 2020 and 2021, as it was a project to support artists that had less income due to covid. I worked at the Kultursommer for the past two years and had to find out that it ended once it was already too late to find another somewhat decent job for this summer.
I live in Linz, it's 2h away by train. Everytime i go to "work" in vienna for kpop events it's just comfortable to hop on a tram or metro and go around the city. It's refreshing as a young guy that there are asian culture events too and just a buzzling city to enjoy. The landmarks are very beautiful too. The cons are that some areas of vienna i never go without a knife because it's gotten worse with crimes in the last few years. The city is actually fighting against the rent increases too but all in all its still rising because the increase in general is just astronomical. If it weren't for rent i'd move out to vienna because i prefer it a lot more than linz all in all. Even tho a real vienesse would nag about vienna, deep down they still love the city XD. A echter wiener geht ned unter oder WIEN ist anders xD
I'm quite shocked to hear carry a knife with you in Vienna! All I carry, day or night, is a camera (and tripod sometimes) and there are no parts of the city where I have felt unsafe when making pictures. I have even left my camera on a nightbus once and it was returned to me.
@@kenmarten6049 probably because of my experience dealing with the club areas, i'd say vienna is really safe no doubt but sometimes there are shady people, like every other major city but it became worse over the last 5 years
@@conorstapleton3183 you apparently do not know that 60% or more people living in Vienna, that you consider Viennese are actually Slovak, Czech, Croatian, Bosnian, Serb, Albanian or Turkish who came to Vienna.
@@TheThingIs415 Bruh, one of the reasons why Vienna is rich is it's location. It was capital of huge Habsburg monarchy, which controled big part of central and eastern Europe. When the monarchy collapsed it was a huge city in relatively small Austria. So I wouldn't say that it's geography is a problem.
I love my city. It's green, culturally rich, beautiful, modern, but also historic, somewhat affordable (even though rents are increasing a lot lately), people are generally friendly or have a typical dark humor cynical character (if you understand the humor it's awesome) and like the video says - you don't need a car! I am spending most of my money (apart from rent that is more than 50% of my income) for good food and traveling. So yeah, very livable 😁
Im from vienna and i gotta say its pretty cool here. although since stuff like a good public transportation system is a normal thing for me, i mainly see the social side of this city. the people here are mostly very anti-social and rude (at least to other locals) and politics arent that great either. historically we've been catalysts for both world wars and you can tell by how (especially elderly) people see the world. we may be the most liveable city in the world, but we still have the problems and struggles of modern sciety
A lot of younger people think Vienna is boring (like I did) but it has so much to offer. Amazing bars, live music, a lot of artsy/alternative areas that would fit right in somewhere like Berlin. It really beats the old boring stately city reputation tbh. Plus, housing in Vienna is still so affordable, even compared to places like Berlin, that artists and students can actually afford to live in the city, and as such, many are moving to Vienna, Prague, and Budapest now, making them even more interesting and cool places.
I moved to Vienna for work/study. And I might have an unpopular opinion, but for me its not that liveable :D So what I do like is the public transport, that is amazing! Also, the architecture (but mind you, its mostly in the 1st and 2nd district) is gorgeous. There are some beautiful houses and museums and stuff. But depending on your district, you might not see much. You could travel easily, thats for sure. However, living costs are pretty high. I have to admit, as a PhD Student, you don't earn much, which makes it more difficult. It's hard to find a place to stay, and these days, everything gets more expensive. Also, even though there are some parks, I would wish for more green areas. And yeah, the people are a little unfriendly, but I am used to that. I think its always a personal preference, of course. For me it's a pretty city to see for a week or two, but once I am finished I will want to move again and find a better suiting home
Well in international comparison, living prices still are rather low, but they have risen significantly over the past two years. When I first moved in 2019, it was pretty easy to find a nice flat within my price range, but now that I‘m looking for a new flat, it’s near impossible to find anything that’s within my price range and located in the area I‘m searching in. A realtor I know told me that this is mostly because people started to put a much higher focus on the location and looks of their flats, as they now spend much more time at home. Also more and more people owning unused flats started to just keep them empty and use them purely as investments without renting them out, so that adds to the issue. I still hope that we might see a tax on unused flats in the next few years, so more people start renting out their unused flats and the overall prices drop because of the increased supply.
i am born and raised in vienna. it used to be a good place to live, but sadly, as a regular citizen, the life quality is sinking more and more every month! the main reason for this, is our infamous, corrupt, intransparent politic system. we call it "freunderlwirtschaft", it means that that all major important positions are given to friends and families of the already ruling, corrupt and incompetent arselings! dont get me wrong, i know that these problems occure everywhere in the world, but living here, knowing the mainly ignorant attitude of my folk, its just sad to watch how this once wealthy country is going down the drain... and nobody even cares to really change something, all i hear all the time is the sentence "es woa scho imma so", meaning it was always like this... imho thats the worst part about vienna... other than that, this city has tons of unused potential, and i would like to see it thrive again one day... (also we have one of the worlds highest tax rates, in combination with a very intransparent expanditure system, what makes me doubt my political system even more)
A good public transport network and public transit oriented land use development is the backbone of a livable city. Australian and Canadian cities do not have that and should not be in the top 10 list.
In my opinion Vienna doesnt look so green at all. it is so dense build that there are no space for trees or many parks. for example compared to berlin, which is like a wild jungle partly. also what comes to the traffic, I can honestly say, as I've been driving much there and in berlin, there is traffic and narrow streets and thousands of oneway streets makes it very uncomfortable for car drivers. and are also pedestrian traffic too. this again compared to berlin, berlin has wider streets more roads etc. There is hardly no traffic in berlin also no human traffic. lol
Yeah that "Vienna ist the greenest city" is a litte bit a lie... There are the big woods and vineyards in the northwest, the Prater and the Danube Island in the middle which is pushing that up. And for the traffic, it's an old town, it has narrow streets. As it was said in the video, you don't need a car here, just use the public transport system.
