Living in Austria
Due to its rich cultural background, the beautiful landscape and a dynamic and innovative economy Austria is valued as a cultural nation, a holiday destination and a business partner. Not only the diverse leisure possibilities in a secure environment make international managers easily feel at home here.
Quality of life
From its rich cultural heritage to its landscape and people, Austria has a lot to offer. In combination with highest security, a wide range of shopping and leisure possibilities plus an elevated standard of living, this adds up to first place in the quality of life ranking within the EU.
Creating value and valuing the good life
The choice of business location is primarily determined by economic conditions. But peak performance can only be produced when your employees feel comfortable in their surroundings. A decisive advantage for Austria - when it comes to international comparisons of quality of life, we are unbeatable. Austria has all the ingredients to meet all demands: a well-preserved environment with scenic beauty, natural resources, a well-managed cultural landscape, green meadows and mountain pastures, crystal-clear waters, fresh air and much more.
These natural treasures, combined with the most diverse possible cultural offering, the highest quality of life and the greatest security - as well as the best environmental situation - make Austria one of the best places to live in.
Secure life and property
The high quality of life is reflected in the low crime rate, the high level of social security and an attractive shopping and recreational infrastructure.
Austria’s health care system is considered to be one of the best in the world. Excellent health care is provided by specialists and top medical institutes along with a dense network of public and private hospitals.
Living and costs of living
An extraordinarily comprehensive program of cultural events enables a diversified range of recreational activities. In combination with a markedly low crime rate, the high level of social security and an attractive shopping and recreational infrastructure plus moderate costs of living this sums up to top quality of life worldwide.
Good value for costs
Due to its cultural offerings, Austria is considered one of the most enjoyable countries in the world, but not one of the most expensive. The cost of living in Vienna is affordable, according to the worldwide Cost-of-Living Survey 2017. Vienna was given a good ranking of 78th in the study, which evaluates the living costs for employees sent to work in 209 large cities abroad, including rents, public transportation, leisure time activities, food and clothing.
The African city of Luanda is the costliest destination for expatriates, followed by Hong Kong and Tokyo. Zurich, Geneva and Bern (Switzerland) are the most expensive European cities, followed by Moscow.
