1 Vienna Austria 2 Zurich Switzerland 3 Auckland New Zealand 4 Munich Germany 5 Vancouver Canada 6 Dusseldorf Germany 7 Frankfurt Germany 8 Geneva Switzerland 9 Copenhagen Denmark 10 Sydney Australia 11 Amsterdam Netherlands 12 Wellington New Zealand 13 Berlin Germany 14 Bern Switzerland 15 Toronto Canada 15 Melbourne Australia 17 Ottawa Canada 18 Hamburg Germany 19 Luxembourg Luxembourg 19 Stockholm Sweden
In terms of what floats my boat, I find Vienna OK but hardly the best. The cities on this list which I deem notable are 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 10, 11, 13, 15 x 2, 18 and maybe 19. The rest I deem sleepy and boring. This list seems to be oriented toward people who like quiet and don't get into night life. It's more for the 7AM hot yoga, ride your bike everywhere, get off on perfectly clean air crowd. Not to say those things are bad, but life is more then sitting in New Age utopia chanting "Ooooooohhhhhmmmmmmm!"
If San Jose, CA were included in the survey. It would come out on #1! Best economy, low crime rate, lots of fun areas, great health care, weather and political stability They need to include San Jose in future surveys.

Misses out on being a city, though. I think that is required.

Wait, so Vienna is sleepy and boring, but Zurich, Munich, Düsseldorf and Frankfurt are exciting? Makes me wonder if you have been to any of those cities.

Vienna is not very exciting, IMO, but compared to Zurich, Düsseldorf and Frankfurt is like the most exciting city on earth. Munich is somewhere in between.
Regardless of anything else, San Jose, like many suburbo-american cities is a combination of traffic headache, cultural void, stress, and boredom. People go to work their 12 hour day at Qualcomm and then pick up takeout on the way home and not much else.
Zürich gets a dull reputation, but it's got a lot more going on than San Jose. Plus it's nice.
