Mercer's 18th annual study of foreign workers' overseas lifestyles studied 440 cities, evaluating standards of safety, health, schools, recreation, environment, public services and consumer goods.

The world's largest human resources consulting firm, Mercer has ranked the best cities in the world for expatriates and for the 7th year running, Austrian capital Vienna is the best.

According to Mercer:

"Despite recent security issues, social unrest and concern about the region's economic outlook, European cities continue to offer some of the world's highest quality of living,"

The body also added that financial clouds looming over Europe have failed to dent the continent's dominance of its list, while ongoing instability has consigned many Middle Eastern and Africa cities to the bottom rungs.
