Doesn’t Vienna normally come near the top of the Economist’s “best places to live that aren’t in Canada” list @GlennR or did I misremember that?

Damascus last, although it never was especially liveable, even when peaceful.

Interesting that I misremembered Toronto being high up the list. Geneva surprises me. I spent a lot of time working there but based from London in the 90s. Great city, but fiercely expensive. A lot of the people I worked with lived in France and commuted - Swiss salary, French cost of living.

Anyway, we seem to have our semi-finalists. I'll do the needful and get some new descriptions from ChatGPT. Back in 20.

As regards Vienna surely it's the coffee and cakes.

QF1 closes REYKJAVIK, ICELAND. Vibrant, frosty, festive, luminous. 10 - 20 VIENNA, AUSTRIA. Elegant, musical, sparkling, nostalgic. |

dORCHESTER is nice at Christmas. Clive Sexton can be relied on to put on a hell of a show.

I'd be happy with any of the finalists apart from Copenhagen. Spent too much time there over the years so wouldn't be special enough. Great town though*. *So's Aarhus - spent a lot of time there too. Can't remember why. Some Danish brokerage house or other must have been convinced that paying for me to spout platitudes was a good idea. Fools. |
