Cardiff scores highly in latest EU city survey
In 2023, Cardiff was crowned both the UK’s best city and the UK’s most friendly city in a reader survey by popular travel magazine Condé Nast.
And as 2024 gets underway, the Welsh capital has again been topping polls, this time outscoring a number of heavyweights from across the continent in a Europe-wide survey about the best cities to live in.
The European Commission’s Quality of Life in European Cities report ranks 83 cities in Europe on various ‘liveability’ factors, from the abundance of green space to noise levels. The results were based on feedback from residents from each of the 83 cities included, with over 70,000 interviews conducted in total.
In results that may make surprising reading for some, Cardiff came in first position in the category focused around young families. With 96 per cent of Cardiff residents saying the city is a good place for families with young children to live. The Welsh capital took top spot over Oulu, in Finland, where 95 per cent of respondents answered yes to the same question, and Braga, in Portugal, also with 95 per cent.
