2024quality of life 86/100
What everyday life costs, item by item. Where an official source exists we publish it ourselves, the rest is told by travellers.
Petrol: weekly bulletin from the European Commission, 5 October 2026 — data public and reusable. The other items will come from travellers’ stories, with name and date.
Cost, third-party estimate: WhereNext (getwherenext.com), licence CC BY 4.0, dataset 2026. Cost, official figure: World Bank — PPP factor ÷ official exchange rate × 100; the year is shown next to the figure (100 = United States). Note: the four item categories come from an index of affordability by WhereNext (higher = cheaper): here we show them inverted, so higher = more expensive, like the rest of the column. Healthcare: WHO · Safety: Global Peace Index · Climate and lifestyle: Open-Meteo · Infrastructure: Eurostat/OECD — collected by WhereNext, CC BY 4.0, 10 July 2026.
Exchange rate: amounts converted from USD to EUR at the ECB reference rate of 7 October 2026 (1 USD = 0.8947 EUR).
