Copenhagen named the world’s most liveable city for second year running

Sandwiches, red sausages and a 37-hour workweek. For the second year in a row, Copenhagen has been named the world's most liveable city.

In The Economist's index, Denmark's capital received maximum points for stability, education and infrastructure, the Danish news agency Ritzau reports.

Second place, when 173 cities worldwide were ranked, went to the Austrian capital Vienna, followed by Melbourne in Australia in third place.

The rest of the top ten is made up of Sydney, Zurich, Geneva, Osaka, Adelaide, Vancouver and Tokyo. At the bottom is the Syrian capital Damascus.
