We usually hear that it’s London or Zurich due to high salaries being available there, but the high cost of living might take away a good part of it.

In your experience, which is the best city? Feel free to give your own criteria, be it the weather, culture, ability to navigate in English, etc.

    navigate in English

    I don’t like this as a requirement. If you’re going to live somewhere, learn the language. I’m in Tokyo and it drives me crazy that people don’t even make some attempt at learning the language. You will have a much better, richer life and be less of a burden on others if you learn the language.

      Hello,

      I agree with you, completely. I live in Barcelona so I learn both Spanish and Catalan, and I feel the same for people who don’t make an attempt at the language.

      On the other hand, I can also understand that if someone only plans to stay for a few years, and the language is very hard to learn, they might want to decide to not learn it, or prefer a country like the Netherlands or the Nordics where most of the people speak English.
