- Ranking EVERY Country in Europe from WORST to BEST!
We Ranked the Top 50 Best AND Worst Countries to live in Europe for 2024, and while you know many of the popular places, like France, Italy, Germany, and Spain, there are 50 Countries on the continent in total! Find out where to move to in Europe, and which have the best cities & small towns!

Europe is a VERY diverse continent, with hundreds of cultures, languages, and types of cities and scenery packed into a small area! While neighboring states in the USA aren't that different from one another, the difference between many European Countries is stark!
So if you're trying to homestead and buy cheap land, OR live in a big walkable city with plenty of amenities, OR just visit the continent by rail, Europe has you covered!... These countries have MANY crowded AND empty areas. So my biggest suggestion is to visit these cities, towns, and countries before you decide where you want to move to and live!
Which European Country is your favorite?
I’m from Georgia 🇬🇪 and it is very beautiful. Its economy may not be good, but it still is a very good country. 🇬🇪❤️
Serbia and Croatia 💪🏽💪🏽 I have friends who are both and taught me the language lol
NOTHING,NO COMMENT.
To be honest i'm confused about AZERBAIJAN country are they belong to ASIA or EUROPE?
North Macedonia

Why?

@@pigymc1695We do also have beautiful nature to see and many beautiful buildings like old Viking villages and many churches, we are also one of the only countries in Europe that has glaciers and active volcanos, we also got the blue lagoon and lots of geothermal baths.

Yeah, of course, in Spain we take a siesta everyday, we dance flamenco and we bullfight on the streets...
hehe 👍
what did you expected from a murican?
Como dicen en la tierra iberica : " mal de muchos consuelo de tontos" ! 😅
Awesome, I knew the rumours were true.
Two out of three ain't bad.
For anybody considering migrating to any of those countries, please be aware these aren't the only factors that determine the quality of life in a place.
I'm a German that lived in Italy and has been living in Greece for many years.
There are things we can't measure easily that influence how satisfied you'll be in a new country like how compatible you are with their culture or how easy it is to make friends, difficulty level of the local language, foods available, bureaucracy, how to locals view your home country, job opportunities for foreigners, ...
If you like living close to the sea and are an extrovert, Austria and Switzerland will make you feel miserable. If you are a vegan, the less westernised a country is, the more difficult it is to find vegan options.
Also consider that places like Germany, Sweden or Ireland might offer a good job market and strong economy, but very difficult housing situation.
The weather also really is important. Not everyone can deal with cloudy, rainy weather on 250 days a year or with the winter darkness in the north.
You’re really right👍
A German treating Europe like his oyster typical. Prepping for European federation dominance huh?
wasn't that what killed Descartes? the dreary winter north
It’s true, I’ve been yelled a lot at in Switzerland just for not throwing the trash properly.
There really are very few places that have great climate for me. Sweden (except its southern part and coastlines) is almost perfect.
I prefer real winter with snow and ice for months. But the most important part is that summers don't go higher than 25° (it's rare in Sweden). Summers are ok in Ireland and as far down south as the Netherlands, but there is no winter there.
Long winter nights are not a problem for me. I am more concerned with bright summer nights in the North. That is why I wouldn't choose the northern part of Sweden. Somewhere between Örebro and Östersund should be great.
If Kazakhstan is in Europe, then I live in Japan
"Kazakhstan,[b] officially the Republic of Kazakhstan,[c] is a landlocked country mostly in Central Asia, with a part in Eastern Europe." - from Wikipedia
@@CristiYTRomania I think Wikipedia is very wrong
@enricocialdini6194 It is correct because alot of the land is before the ural mountains which is considered the border between Europe and Asia
@@Nazder08 to me the border is the Volga [south] Ural [north]
Well, it is, part of it.
I'm Polish. After visiting around half of those countries I still choose Poland as my favourite. 😂
Outside of Poland, I choose Italy. Especially northern part of Italy. Why? Relatively good economy, nice weather for most part of the year, I like the melody of the language, food is great. Architecture is great, you can see stunning mountains, the sea, many lakes... everything is there. Though, I have to admit that I don't like temperatures over 30 degrees so I would visit Norway, Iceland or Scotland every summer. ❤
Thank you man. Blessing from italy 🫂🫂
I'm putting you down for Northern Scotland for winter.
I am from South Italy and I am thinking about going North too ahha
I have no interesse what are you talking about? poland is poor and badest what i know-- so shat up-
How can a European nation without housing for its own citizens be in the top 3? That's Ireland, and any housing "available" is priced obscenely high. This video is an example where the economic statistics overrule common sense.
Yes, this video was rushed and the analysis is shallow. But I think the ranking is mostly correct.
It seems like these statistics show only economy and culture things, but try to avoid mentioning real problems these countries are facing
Why is this housing crisis simultaneously occurring in so many developed Western countries at the same time? It's utterly disgraceful that we are being bled dry by global companies hoping to profit from high demand for housing.
@@thecrimsondragon9744 Right ,the housing crisis in the west is caused by bureaucrat gate keepers who limit new homes from being built in mass and lower property values for wealthy developers and for those who already own homes. At least in Canada's case where I live.
@@thecrimsondragon9744 In Ireland landlords make more money renting out properties short-term to tourists, which diminishes the stock of housing for residents. In the U.S., U.K. & elsewhere the culprits are corporations engaged in price fixing.
I live in Ireland. This completely misrepresents Ireland. We're incredibly pressured by a housing crisis, a severely inadequate health service, cost of living crisis and a government that doesn't care about any of these problems. We shouldn't even be top 15 on this list. This list must be skewed in favour of the money funelled through huge tech multinationals who set up in Dublin because of the low corporate tax rate.
At least you don’t live in Norn Iron.
You need to vote the lunatics out of the Dail! They are not giving a shit about the Irish people!
yep none of that high gdp goes to its people, its a bank vault so corps avoid tax
Well said Tony, lots of problems here and all other countries think we are loaded due to the huge amount of money the multinational companies pass through here. Great country but it's run by clowns.
@@frankiewilde7791 yes just yes
Aside for the Eastern European contries (which mainly rank at the bottom), is your 'safety' ranking based on national/ratial purity? Have you personally visited any of the European contries you are ranking, other then the UK, Fance and Germany?
In ranking Iceland #1, he is skipping aspects such as the climate (cold, dark), economy (steep prices) and volcanic activity. After all, why doesn’t this supposedly #1 country have a problem with immigration?
Maybe because it's a rock in the middle of the Atlantic?
Because they are sensible enough not to let them in.
@@002lisamarie They do let them in, in 2023 15.2% of their population was immigrants. and now? it's struggling more with people emigrating, over immigrating. Though they are strict to not just let "anyone" in ofc.
As an Icelander, volcanoes are barely a problem they litterly do nothing because modern technology and we have a small population. Also cold and darkness isn’t that bad, some people like more cold and dark so that doesn’t count.

Bad fake info on number 48. You cannot be arrested in Belarus for speaking belarusian, that’s not true. Where did you get that info from??? In Belarus the 2 official languages are Belarusian and Russian. In Minsk (the capital, a beautiful, modern, clean and safe city btw) everything is written in both languages. Information please, but not fake!
It does happen though, in some places. Thats why theres another flag for Belarus which represents Belarus having freedom.
I love it how Iceland is at number one - 10 months a year is freezing and there's no sun lol
That's true 😂😂😂😂😂
This is very inaccurate, we have a lot of sun during the summers, so much so that it’s even during the night. Also we aren’t freezing all year round we got the Gulf Stream which makes our country hotter and summers reach to temperatures of 25 Celsius.

Ireland is a great example of why statistics if not understood completely and in context can be deceiving. Many Irish are leaving their own country and they are certainly not happy with the way they have been managed as a whole. Many of them are actually struggling economically despite having such a high GDP per capita (distorted by big corporations based in that country). GDP wealth in Ireland doesn’t represent real wealth.
Very true. Ireland became such a "wealthy" country in the '90s and 2000s because billionaires stashed their wealth there on paper. But their money did not raise the public's lives up.
The whole show was a masterpiece of poop.
@@brianarbenz1329 Ireland has never been an offshore tax haven for high wealth individuals, the only ones we have are irish Americans buying up old estates to fulfill long held fantasies about their Irishness (and an EU passport). The don't come for taxation, as personal income tax is high. The success of the economy has been attracting business with low corporate tax rates, a large young well edcuated population and being an English speaking EU member country...
@kaixokaleabilbao2770 utter nonsense, highest ever salaries, lowest ever unemployment rates, Irish born people now emigrate out of choice because they can, not because they have to. Often just to travel, or to experience life in a warmer country, or speed their climb up the corporate ladder a smaller country doesn't provide (you get paid well, but promotion is much harder)...
And it's a shithole

07:25 "Bulgaria is the only Slavic state never to join Yugoslavia". You mixed "Slavic" - the linguistic term, with "Balkan" - the geographic location. Bulgaria is both Balkan and Slavic, but Slavic nations cover large swaths of Europe and Asia, including Poland, Chechia, Slovakia, Belarus, Ukraine, Russia and former Yugoslavia's Balkan states.
"Balkan" would include Albania, wich also never joined Yugoslavia.

Author of the video graduated from trustmebro university. He is respectable magister of bro science. His qualification work was about wiki education.
I'm from the Netherlands and moved to southern Spain a little over a year ago.... so I moved "down the ladder" theoretically. 🤣 My life in the Netherlands was not bad at all... But I dreaded the 6 months of cold rainy "fall" weather each year and I wanted to live somewhere more relaxed, less crowded and have nice weather year-round. So far it's been great, I have no regrets. In the end it all boils down to personal preference and what you want out of life. ✌
Well, I moved from the Netherlands to Malta 23 years ago. Even further down the ladder, so to say.
We have better weather than Spain. 🙂 While it can be scorching hot, especially now with global warming, the sea moderates a great deal, and we NEVER have snow.
You wouldn't think of the Netherlands as crowded if you lived in Malta. The population density is about 3.5 times that of the Netherlands. Even the Randstad doesn't come close to the average population density of Malta.
One thing that I did learn, though, is that the Dutch complain way too much about their own country. Everything is well organised, they have the best roads in Europe, they have the best (and most expensive) healthcare in Europe.
Would I move back to the Netherlands? No. Once you've lived abroad long enough, there will come a day where you realise that you and your native country have drifted apart. You realise that you're getting older, that travel isn't as easy as it once was, and that the number of times that you'll meet your parents in person can be counted on the fingers of at most two hands. But you're not really an integral part of your adoptive country either. And that yields some very fundamental questions about what you really are.
Migrating can be very enriching, but it's not to be taken lightly. And that, again, is something that many Dutch don't quite realise.
@@SeverityOne Funny you mention living in Malta, I have actually been there twice, so yes I KNOW how crowded it is haha!
Also one of the reasons I wouldn't move there (also because it is a small island and I'd feel a little limited in my abilities to explore and drive long distances to other places or countries).
Weather wise, well I live close to Alicante and we have probably one of the sunniest climates in Europe, so I doubt Malta will have more sunny weather 😜
But yea I agree it is a big step to migrate and it has its consequences, for sure.
@@omniradius6908 Hey, I said the best weather, not the sunniest. Although Wikipedia lists a considerably higher number of sunshine hours for Malta than Alicante. Overall, it lists Malta is being a bit warmer and sunnier than Alicante. And contrary to some random website, Wikipedia cites sources.
It makes sense, though: Malta is one of the southernmost places in Europe, roughly at the same parallel as Gibraltar.
Having said that, sunnier isn't necessarily better, as far as I'm concerned. You can't really go out in summer, and in fact, many people in Malta suffer from vitamin D deficiency.
Well, you literally said "
We have better weather than Spain." ....read your own post 😅 But you can have your standpoint that it's better weather than here, I don't care much haha. I do agree about the summer, since summer here is also too hot and you want to be inside with the A/C on most days.
@@omniradius6908 Well, for what it's worth, today is drab and overcast, and it looks like it might rain. Almost like the Netherlands in summer. 😀
I loved how he said Georgia is one of the most polluted on earth, but in the video, the Georgian lady was putting garbage in the recycling bin, after walking on the cleanest possible street.

Georgia is one of the cleanest countries in Europe. But the thing is that there are too many cars and transit trucks, some of them are old and the exhaust fumes are polluting the air. I also love that he mentioned the most homophobic country and thinks it's bad. I expected a real ranking, not according to LGBTQ.
Yes this guy needs to do better homework 😂

I hope that not everybody has this intention. Thousands (or millions) from South America marching to USA or Europe will transform gradually these countries into the same mess as you have at home. Millions of immigrants who do not learn the language, do not accept the costumes and values of the host country will on long term destroy these societies, so they will not find "a better life".

As a resident I can see Ireland is great . We have really good education but our healthcare is extremely stained and our housing crisis a mess. Most young Irish citizens (including myself) will never own their own home, our salaries are high but no where near as high as the cost of goods, we simply can’t afford to live here. Most of the country is safe but in Dublin in particular is quite dangerous after dark in the city. It’s very disappointing that our government has failed us. I want to spend the rest of my life here but I cannot imagine a future here

Brit living in Poland. Can't understand why Poland is lowly ranked. Very little crime, free education including university, free healthcare, consistently growing economy and GDP, individual wealth increasing, low inflation, low unemployment etc. clean country. Infrastructure needs improving but then that applies to every country.
Yes, the narrator didn't say anything about that when mentioning Poland, did he? In fact, I seem to remember he said Britain was the only European country with 'free healthcare' as he termed it. (Of course, it's never actually free, as the people pay for it indirectly via taxes!!) We also used to have a 'free' healthcare system in the Netherlands which was abolished in 2006 (I think) by a totally malevolent cretin named Hoogervorst who at that time was minister of Public Health. He falsely claimed that the expenses for individual citizens would plummet due to 'competition' among the healthcare insurers and 'the workings of the market' and more of the same crap. Needless to say, the expenses didn't plummet. They skyrocketed. With the result that we probably now have one of the very worst healthcare systems in Europe.
Exactly I was thinking the same 😮 , he said Poland is the most average country in Europe 😂, regards mate
The IQ behind this subjective rank, out of any senseful criterias, gravitating to zero...
It's low ranking only because it's being compared to western Europe, so the expectations are high. Obviously one of the best post-soviet countries today
Scot here if I moved anywhere it would be Poland. We have loads of Polish here and I love them.
As a Scandinavian it's really nice to live here. But the winter is depressing. But all the advantages of living here also makes it really hard to live any other places, I always end up coming back.

After 23 years of living in France, I haven't change my mind since 2002-2003 (it needs a certain time to understand better the mentality, to dig deeper into the system on social, political, structural level). I was really shocked to realise how badly it stand with their infrastructures, how low they were paid and how expensive daily life was, much 'blabla' and poor realisations in social healthcare (: the elder people, specialized schools/ living facilities for children and adults with handicap-problems or psychologic issues etc. etc...). I come from Belgium, travelled - lived and worked a lot in northern and western Europe. Most of the french people never traveled outside the country (or it was for holidays in a frenchspeaking part of the world...) and had almost no idea of living conditions ellswhere in Europe! Very strange...

There is something good in any country, I feel. Though I hail from Norway, I do like to travel to other countries and learn. Lists like this, though of course not official or serious, can kind of skew the view of some of the countries that might be a hidden gem. Also, calling Norway a hypocrite for using their (so far) limited renewable energy and selling their oil and gas to countries that crave it, is like calling a farmer a hypocrite for using some of their produce themselves and selling off what is in most demand.

Ireland is highly overrated in this list like in many other lists because foreign companies funnel lots of money into it - but this money does not notably benefit the regular citizen, just makes everything expensive like housing.
@@littlemy1773I live in Dublin. It's no less safe than it has been for the past decade. The recent stabbing incident was not part of a pattern and neither was the riot that ensued. It remains to be seen whether this is the beginning of something bigger, but I doubt if it is anything but another nail in the coffin of the current government.
@@mikekelly5869 well best of luck to you whatever happens ❤️. But I’ll be deffo remaining in the Isle of Man 🤣
Mate, today is Ireland and tomorrow it’s the entire Europe.

From Greek unbeatable beaches to Swedish standard and winter wonderland. From French heritage and wine to Romanian green mountains and history. Europe is the most beautiful and the best continent in the Galaxy !
also cause they destroyed their competition
@@sakshamxd298 *stealing, looting and expoiting. And now Europe is paying the price for it and back firing 😂😂
While I do not underestimate the stealing, in the man's examples( except maybe France heritage) all the other examples were natural (beaches, winter,mountains) and also... Do not put all Europe in the same box, most of the countries there did not have colonies but were colonized themselves.
france was stolen colonizated and exploited as well, have you ever open an history book ?@@masonridgewell8063
Thst is right but french wine is overrated. Habe you ever tried Austrian one. Every year one of the best worldwide. But Austria is too small to produce enough to export a lot of wine. So the most is drunk in Austria itself.

Since, when the hell did Kazakhstan land in Europe?!?!
Since it's independence in 1991
A western part of Kazakhstan is geographically in Europe
How and since when did the continents changed?
Kazakhstan, a Central Asian country and former Soviet republic, extends from the Caspian Sea in the west to the Altai Mountains at its eastern border with China and Russia. Since when is China and Russia in Europe? WTF!
@@FerihanD They never did, the border between Europe and Asia is defined by the Ural mountains, Ural river and Caucasus mountains (and a bunch of other smaller things).
Which makes small parts of Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, Georgia and Türkiye European
@@Zockid22 actually it's a pretty good part of Kazakhstan and like 70% of Georgia
The Western part of Ural river is in Europe and the Ural river flows through the very Western part of Kazakhstan.
I am from Iceland. I did not expect it to rank at 1st place! The ranking must be mainly based on economy, it IS a wealthy country.
Love my country though, stunningly beautiful nature and very friendly, easy-going people - but the weather can be crazy.
Because he likes Iceland very much-
You haven't been at war with anyone else and are warmer than Greenland.
Yeah a paradise that's why 375,000 people live there...lmao
I want not live there, for me already in Germany the weather is to cold, I want at least a weather like in southern Spain.
It is very OK if people stay away - too many tourists as it is. There must be something there to attract all those tourists, BTW. 1.7 million overnight visitors in 2022.@@spaniardsrmoors6817
Countries are like people: they are very complex and can't be ranked in a simple list. You can make as many lists as you want, with any country coming on top, depending on which aspects you choose to compare.
46 - Bosnia (BiH) - My favourite place in recent travels. I encountered many travellers who considered Sarajevo their favourite place. I understood why when I went there. Also Bosnians speak much better English than most. Scenery is fabulous!
One of my favorite countries to visit! Such incredible people despite the depressing past...
As a swiss I had to laugh out loud when you mentioned, that we attacked 5 times Liechtenstein by accident. I'm not sure if it was the right number, but I know that a company with swiss soldiers was lost there, and so that's no joke. Great that you included that :D
😂😂😂
good comment - not hater any more
As a German, I found it extremely funny to learn some country was (accidentally) invaded by the Swiss. Not so neutral after all... 😂 Tbh, if those lost soldiers would have thought "After all... why not?" and placed a Swiss flag, officially occupying Liechtenstein (and bringing them democracy), literally nobody would have noticed. 😂 Maybe some 5 years later, a few Austrian hikers with an old paper map would have wondered whether they missed a turn. 😂

VERY odd ranking. I frequent Europe often and while I agree with the bottom 20, from there I don't agree too much.
What would your top 10 be? (Genuenly interrested not picking on you)
Ukraine is not the most corrupt country in Europe. That is MAGA propaganda.
For real? I find it to be quite accurate tbh
Agreed. I'm English. Many at the Top are bloody freezing and a bit boring,unless its only looking at bleak landscapes does it.
Really? To me it seems like a very good ranking. You can’t disagree with the top 5 and bottom 20 countries. I guess you could swap around some countries in the middle half (place 30th to 6th)
Ive never been to iceland, but the gulf stream doesnt warm it, the prices are supposedly outrageous and you cant drive there
Ah, the famous European nation of Kazakhstan, yes.
This makes me think of the US tourists who have nervous breakdowns when they come to Paris and realize that this is not what Disney sold them

I've spent a few years both living in London and in the Canary Islands (technically Spain, but Africa from a physical geography standpoint) and I want to highlight the fact that having many more sunlight hours equals to 'living more' (at least quality time if you are an outdoor person). Being able to confortably walk on shorts or workout on the beach in Christmas time might not measured by metrics, but for many will tilt the scale on the side of Southern European countries
That is ridiculous 😒! Colder climates are healthier, and actually require and provide more fun sports activities...people live longer!
@@sarahhearn-vonfoerster7401 yeah, sure. And with arthritis.
Las islas Canarias, igual que El SÁHARA ESPAÑOL, son parte de España desde el medievo, No técnicamente,
It's a 'murican based opinion, so yeah, it has to taken with a pinch of salt. You know how they are, that Iceland fantasm has been growing because of economic relations between the US and Iceland. Anyone serious for quality of life would not live in Iceland: it rains or freezes most of the time in the year, in the fall season it's so windy small lava stones destroy windshields, I've been there in that season, trust me, you don't want to live there at least 6 to 8 months of the year. For quality of life there's nothing better than the mediterranean countries, Switzerland and BENELUX: best climate, best economics, best heathcare systems. Monaco is not for all, it's damn pricey to live there.
@@carmen2689 Shaaaaaat aaaaaaaap!
Rome has 2777 years. It had a million inhabitants in 10 AC being the bigger city of the world. Has always been chaotic, dirty and crowded since then, so that emperor Augustus had to do a special program to improve the city chaos. But has been the crib of Western civilization. As William Wetmore wrote "Rome is dirty but it is Rome. anyone who has lived in Rome for a long time knows that that filth has a charm that not even the cleanest places in the world have". In Italy we have free national health system which you in USA don't even dream, you have to be lucky not to get sick and financially ruined. Quality of life is not just simple matter of GDP, there are art, nature, cordiality, people, food etc.
c'est vrai, je suis française et j'adore l'Italie.C'est un superbe pays d'un point de vue historique et architectural . On s'y sent très bien et on y mange aussi très bien ( j'avoue que le vin ne m'intéresse pas)
great video!
Reading the comments is the real fun not this parody. Many people seem to love their country even if it does not rank the highest, which is great.
Exactly. It seems most European countries are nice places to live in. 🙂
Oh I don’t know. The funniest part of this video is the commentary by some smart arsed know nothing American.
one has to wonder in these comparisons that Finland is mentioned as having a dark and long winter, just as if Sweden, Norway and Iceland were somehow brighter and warmer...
But they ARE warmer and brighter, lol. Most of Swedens population live south of Helsinki, and they have brighter and warmer winters. Many norwegians also live south of Helsinki, and the western coast of Norway with the second and third largest cities hardly get any snow in the winter. Both Norway and Iceland have warmer winters because of the Gulf -stream. They have a different climate than Finland, that is more affected by Sibiria.
@@okklidokkli the majority of the Finnish population lives in southern Finland. Helsinki is located approx. 200 km further north than Oslo and Stockholm. Stockholm is located east of the Scandinavian mountains on the shore of the Gulf of Finland and has roughly the same climate as Helsinki or Turku. The west coast of Norway is affected by the Gulf Stream with its føn wind, so that the warm and humid wind causes the most rain in Bergen in Europe (more than 200 rainy days per year). The same føn wind appears in Finland as dry and warm when moisture has rained on the Norwegian coast and mountains, so Norway is a wet and windy country and the amount of daylight is the same and even less in northern Norway than anywhere else in Finland.
@@peketee2278 Hi, you're incorrect in the claim that Helsinki is located 200 km further north than Oslo and Stockholm. These three capitals are basically on the same latitude (60° N). Just check the map! Coincidence?
@@peketee2278 The accurate latitudes (in decimals) are Helsinki 60.19°, Oslo 59.91° and Stockholm 59.33°, so the difference between Oslo and Helsinki is less than Oslo and Stockholm. Each degree of latitude is approx 111 km apart, so Helsinki is 95 km further north than Stockholm and 31 km further north than Oslo.
@@torsigvaldjohansen1338 I didn't check at the time, but what you pointed out supports my view even better... I took the reading just to prove that the differences between Norwegian, Swedish and Finnish population centers are not that big...

What's the point of living in country no. 1, 2 or 3 and being bored to death? The country in Europe that will have the highest life expectancy in the future is Spain. I wonder why that might be? Perhaps people here are simply happier and don't make such a big issue of it? And the happiest people live in Finland? The high suicide rate doesn't fit in with this.
Don’t forget that Iceland also has the best active volcanos.

Sorry but "most of you probably never heard about Montenegro" says a lot about the geographical knowledge of americans. I (italian) already learned about this at the age of 8 or so

@@haroldcampbell3337 Mate, Montenegro has existed for 1000 years. Ohio barely 200, it is US state without any history nor culture.
Montenegro is an independent Country with its own language (Montenegrin), whereas Ohio is just a State, part of a Country. They speak English in Ohio (at least very basic English), don't they? Can you grasp the difference between a US State and an independent Country, genius? You are hopeless and have just proved Matti's point.@@haroldcampbell3337
@@gogogogohjh well said !
@Matti005 you're absolutely right. Most Europeans have heard of Montenegro.
Italy here, venice for the precision. Here it's not two different countries, it's a continuous change from north to south. We have so many dialects that to me it's culturally closer south of French than Sicily although I love the south of Italy more than my home town. Spain and Portugal are not thant far at all. I went to both last time in 2023 and it seems just matter of language but people are just exactly like me. Helthcare here is not only not bad at all and included on taxes and nobody has ever been rejected from a hospital. it's really rare that people go to privare healthcare to get a much better service. To me this hugely improve quality of life.
I think on comments french is underrated and generally I do not agree with anyone of the rank given to any nation on this video but in general what I agree with is the richness of different culture within few thousand kilometers is very likely just the highst on this galaxy. Almost 25 different ways to say "glass of wine" 🥂 cheers to all and have a great 2024
I'm from Portugal and agree, Italy feels very much like home whenever I go there.
As a tourist , i've never been to a country more eerily beautiful and fascinating than Iceland . And ofcourse it's very advanced socially and economicaly . But for permanent living one should also consider location, diversion , cost of living and friendly weather. When everything is taken into account . I'd opt for Italy . Great location, beautiful scenery, friendly people , good climate, seaside in summer & skiing in winter, great history & architechture, excellent food & wine , easy access to its neighbours .
Iga Swiatek Bagel chronicles.. From Poland! We learn something new everyday!
I think the low ranking of Italy is very unfair because there is so much more to life than economic prosperity. I am not italian, but I lived there (Rome) for some months about 7 years ago, and I know it shouldn't be ranked 24th.
From a pure economic standpoint, it probably would have been in the 30s. I took into account the high happiness, sunshine, and life expectancy when making the ranking, and elevated it a ton because of them
Yeah. I am not European. But if I was to live in Europe, definitely Italy or France. Good food, good weather, good culture. I dont understand the infatuation with those freezing northern countries
One of the worst rating scales I have ever seen. Northern European countries were automatically rated higher than Spain, France or Italy. I have visited most southern European countries and would definitely rate these countries higher than a country like Ireland!
Well but it's obvious that Italy have a bad ranking.
We're the only country not affected by any crisis, we have a huge debt, but it's all internal.
We have not many big companies but lots of medium companies. That means that in our country economic crisis have low effects.
We own at the same time some of the biggest economic giants of the world.
MSC, Leonardo, ENI, Fincantieri, Pittini, all those luxury brands... FIAT...
We are currently spending and investing more in countries like France and America than what these countries are doing to and in Italy.
We own the third largest gold reserve in the world, basically equal to that of the International Monetary Found.
And this list of facts goes on and on...
You know why we always have a low rank? Because: "oh! It's Italy! Pizza, spaghetti and mandolino!"
"Oh! It's Italy! They lost ww2!"
"Oh! We're Americans and all the ranking agencies are american and for America. There's no way we know anything, there's no way we give a better rank to a country we hate"

Depression is indeed an important aspect to consider when discussing Iceland and its quality of life. Several factors might contribute to higher rates of depression in Iceland:
Long, Dark Winters: Due to its northern location, Iceland experiences very long and dark winters. The lack of sunlight can increase the risk of Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), a type of depression.
Isolation: Iceland's geographical isolation can lead to feelings of loneliness and isolation for some individuals. This can be especially true for immigrants or those living in remote areas.
Climatic Conditions: The harsh climate and extreme weather conditions can impact general well-being and contribute to lower mood levels.
Genetic Factors: Some studies suggest that genetic factors may play a role in the prevalence of depression in certain populations, and Iceland has a relatively homogenous population, which facilitates genetic studies.
Economic and Social Factors: Economic fluctuations, social isolation, and other socio-economic factors can also contribute to the mental health of the population.
Honestly as someone from the UK you're being very generous with that ranking.
Visually Switzerland has the most breathtaking views. It is full of the most incredible looking lakes and rivers that have the most beautiful colors and shades of blue. I've seen many turquoise lakes and you can pretty much swim freely everywhere.
The mountains have divers shapes and heights and you come across them everywhere you go. And in summer the colors of the landscapes look like heaven. It's safe and it's clean. I've ever seen one photo of anything in Iceland looking as beautiful as the nature does in Switzerland.
Poland 25th place. I'm sorry to say but you must be living far away and believe in stereotype-bs as well as old tales. If you are from overseas, this pretty much tells a lot.
Poland have the same problem as Italy, one part of the country is top class and other part is 3rd world.

"Denmark may not have the best museums, food or natural scenary" ... I don't say we have, but have you been outside Copenhagen and Aarhus and done i.e. island hopping? I doubt it.
Look, this guy hasn't even been to ANY part of Europe. He's just reading a load of stupid stats he found on the web over some random clips he probably grabbed via Google searches (and probably didn't pay or get copyright clearance for) which is why his clip of Luxembourg includes the Jardin de Luxembourg in Paris, France! When my dad was helping promote tourism in Denmark we went to lots of fascinating and quirky little museums, though my favourite, the Mekanisk Musik Museum in Copenhagen, no longer exists. Many happy memories of travelling over on the DFDS 'liners' like Winston Churchill and Dana Anglia, kransekage, Albani beer... etc.
They really, really undersold Denmark. Denmark is incredible.
Denmark is nice, but nature wise, there is very little to see, compared to some others. Yes, the west coast is nice, and island-hopping can be fun, but once you've seen one island and one beach, you've seen it all. Basically no diversity. No mountains. Not even hills.

Remember, Iceland is growing at a very rapid rate of 3% annually. That means, if it goes on for a while as it is, in one year the population will be at 410,000. This growth is meeting challenges in a real estate market never having enough supply to meet the demand. Otherwise, Iceland rocks! :) 😊
