THE BEST PLACE TO LIVE IN EUROPE
What do you look for when deciding where
to live? Many people never move from their
home town, of course. Others move because
of a job. Some, though, think carefully about
the lifestyle they are looking for. (1) _____
They may want an iconic skyline or narrow
cobbled streets and small local shops.
Would you prefer clean air or a bustling
cosmopolitan city?
Amazingly, whatever your tastes or desires,
you may be surprised to learn that Zurich, in
Switzerland, has all these things and more.
That’s why, in many surveys, it comes first in
the list of best cities in Europe in which to
live and is only just behind Melbourne,
Australia, as the best city in the whole world.
Better even than traditionally popular cities
such as Vancouver, Singapore and
Montevideo.
Zurich is Switzerland’s largest city with a
population of about 400,000. (2) _____ People
from abroad are attracted by the job
opportunities, high salaries and low rates of
taxation, the world class schools and
universities and the overall high standard of
living.
Of course, this is Switzerland so prices are
high and finding affordable accommodation in
the city centre may be difficult. (3) _____
Therefore, residents can take advantage of
lower accommodation costs further from the
centre.
Zurich is also a very green city with many
parks and breathtaking views of the Alps in
the distance. Between the city and the
mountains there are lakes where you can
swim, sail or go kayaking in safety.

It should be no surprise that Zurich has some
excellent shops, which are modern and clean.
There are also restaurants to suit all tastes
and budgets. Culture lovers will be impressed
by the huge variety of cultural institutions in
the city including opera, ballet, theatre,
museums, art galleries and concert halls.
There are also attractions for young people
with many clubs and a thriving alternative
music scene. (4) _____
So, are there any drawbacks to living in the
city at all? Some parts of the city have
a reputation for crime although the levels are
only high in comparison with the rest of the
city. It is still much safer than other big cities in
Europe. Drivers also complain that the roads
are very congested but public transport is so
efficient that there is really no need to drive in
the city at all. (5) _____ That’s probably why
the percentage of the population who don’t
have a car has risen from 40 percent to 45
percent in the last decade.
All in all, you can find a great standard of life
in Zurich.
A Not many people realise that Europe’s
biggest techno event is held in Zurich as
is the Caliente Festival, the largest Latin
cultural event on the continent.
B However, 30 percent of the population
were born overseas so it is a very
multicultural city.
C It may be somewhere affordable or
a place with a vibrant arts and music
scene.
D There are a number of historical sites
including a medieval old town which can
be viewed as part of a walking tour of the
city.

E In fact, traffic is slow because, unlike in
other cities, trams, cyclists and
pedestrians are given priority over cars –
making life even easier for non-car
drivers.
F However, the city has excellent public
transport and it is easy to get from one
part of the city to another quickly and
comfortably.
