THE BEST PLACE TO LIVE IN EUROPE

What do you look for when deciding where to live? Many people never move from
their home town, of course. Others move because of a job. Some, though, think
carefully about the lifestyle they are looking for. It may be somewhere affordable or
a place with a vibrant arts and music scene. They may want an iconic skyline or
narrow cobbled streets and small local shops. Would you prefer clean air or
a bustling cosmopolitan city?
Amazingly, whatever your tastes or desires, you may be surprised to learn that Zurich,
in Switzerland, has all these things and more. (1) _____ Better even than traditionally
popular cities such as Vancouver, Singapore and Montevideo.

Name: ______________________________________ Class: ____

Zurich is Switzerland’s largest city with a population of about 400,000. (2) _____ People
from abroad are attracted by the job opportunities, high salaries and low rates of taxation,
the world class schools and universities and the overall high standard of living.
Of course, this is Switzerland so prices are high and finding affordable accommodation
in the city centre may be difficult. (3) _____ Therefore, residents can take advantage of
lower accommodation costs further from the centre.
Zurich is also a very green city with many parks and breathtaking views of the Alps in
the distance. Between the city and the mountains there are lakes where you can swim,
sail or go kayaking in safety.
It should be no surprise that Zurich has some excellent shops, which are modern and
clean. There are also restaurants to suit all tastes and budgets. Culture lovers will be
impressed by the huge variety of cultural institutions in the city including opera, ballet,
theatre, museums, art galleries and concert halls. (4) _____ Not many people realise
that Europe’s biggest techno event is held in Zurich as is the Caliente Festival, the
largest Latin cultural event on the continent.
So, are there any drawbacks to living in the city at all? (5) _____ It is still much safer than
other big cities in Europe. Drivers also complain that the roads are very congested but
public transport is so efficient that there is really no need to drive in the city at all. In fact,
traffic is slow because, unlike in other cities, trams, cyclists and pedestrians are given
priority over cars – making life even easier for non-car drivers. That’s probably why
the percentage of the population who don’t have a car has risen from 40 percent to
45 percent in the last decade.
All in all, you can find a great standard of life in Zurich.

A There are also attractions for young people with many clubs and a thriving
alternative music scene.

B However, 30 percent of the population were born overseas so it is a very multicultural

city.

C The city has a reliable network of buses and trams, although you have to be aware
of pickpockets on public transport as this type of crime is high.

D However, the city has excellent public transport and it is easy to get from one
part of the city to another quickly and comfortably.

E Some parts of the city have a reputation for crime although the levels are only
high in comparison with the rest of the city.

F That’s why, in many surveys, it comes first in the list of best cities in Europe in
which to live and is only just behind Melbourne, Australia, as the best city in the
whole world.
