Plzeň ranks 29th worldwide for quality of life, ahead of Prague and Brno

Plzeň has jumped to 29th place in a global quality-of-life ranking that compares nearly 12,000 cities worldwide. The city moved up from 54th position last year, according to new data from the Numbeo index, which is based on information submitted by residents.

Numbeo was originally created to compare living costs by former Google software engineer Mladen Adamovic. Over time, it has expanded to include data on housing, healthcare, transport, education and crime. Prague placed 112th in the same index, while Brno followed one spot behind.
