Vienna ranks third among favorites among German-speaking megacities.
According to a survey, Austria is the most pleasant neighbor country for most adults in Germany. This is the result of a representative survey by polling institute YouGov on behalf of dpa. The country was chosen by 24% of over-18s from Germany’s nine neighbours, the paper said on Tuesday.
They are followed by the Netherlands (17 percent), Denmark (13 percent), France and Switzerland (10 percent each). Poland, the Czech Republic and Luxembourg (each with 3 percent) and Belgium (2 percent) are in last place. The rest did not specify.
Among the five German-speaking cities with more than a million inhabitants, adults in Germany have a favorite metropolis. When asked which of them they consider “most pleasant”, the majority chose Hamburg (25%). Munich (19 percent), Vienna (15 percent), Berlin (12 percent) and Cologne (11 percent) follow. The rest didn’t want to choose any of the cities.
