The Happiest Cities In The World

Is It Time To Redefine Your Happy Place?

Are you happy? If you could use a little more happiness in your life, you might consider moving to—or at least traveling to—one of the happiest cities in the world.



Zurich, Switzerland

With nine of its cities ranked within the top 200 happiest places to live in the world, Switzerland is clearly getting something right! Zurich is the happiest of them all—clinching second place on the global list (we've saved the happiest for last). Its residents enjoy an excellent quality of life with high incomes, world-class education, a strong feeling of safety and security, and strong familial and social ties.
