Young people can be dynamic, free-spirited,
idealistic and carefree as well as goal-oriented, driven and practical.
Some prefer to leave their hometowns to study in other cities or even
other countries and perhaps move around again after obtaining a college
degree. It normally depends on their financial capability or just their
need to be independent and less restricted. Nevertheless, there are
cities like these some best cities for young people to live in that are
more accommodating to a young lifestyle.

Helsinki, Finland
Except for a 100 day winter, the capital and largest city in Finland
will give you nothing but a livable environment, employment
opportunities, and a mostly balanced climate. For those who want a laid
back lifestyle and are familiar with European languages, this is the
perfect spot. |

|
Zurich, Switzerland
Although it may seem overwhelming to live in one of the wealthiest
cities in Europe; if you’re a business graduate willing to develop your
German speaking skills and you have plans of making it big in your
field, then Zurich is right for you. |

Buenos Aires, Argentina
The Paris of South America is not only one of the 20 largest cities in
the world, it is also one of the three alpha cities in Latin America and
hosts the most competitive marketplace in the region. A fusion of
economic, political and cultural influences make up this global city.
For the bookworms, it’s good to note that this part of the world is
called “the city of books” and every April it holds one of the top 5
book fairs in the world aptly called the Buenos Aires International Book
Fair. |

Amsterdam, Netherlands
Like many of the most livable countries in the world, this alpha world
city is the commercial and cultural center of the Netherlands and ranked
2nd best city to live in in the world. It should go without saying, but
while it is well known for its red light district and its
less-than-honorable activities, Amsterdam with all its diversity has
much more to offer. |

|
Barcelona, Spain
A major cultural and economic center in Southwestern Europe and home to
8 UNESCO World Heritage Sites including the famous Sagrada Familia which
is also the international symbol of the city, Barcelona boasts of a
thriving industrial and fashion sector. Since the city lies along the
Mediterranean, it was once considered the top city-beach in the world.

|
Oslo, Norway
Renowned as an important center of maritime knowledge in Europe, it is
the home of the world’s largest shipping companies and ship brokers so
if you happen to be planning to start out in that field, check out Oslo.
Keep in mind, however, that this is a city for those young people who
have a strong income as Oslo is one of the most expensive cities in the
world as well.

|
|
London, England
One of the biggest drawbacks to living here would be the traffic. Other
than that, London has always been a place for the arts, commerce,
education, and fashion. Described as a world cultural capital, the
populace is so diverse that nearly 300 languages are “significantly”
spoken within its boundaries and it’s home to 43 universities making it
a major center of higher education in Europe.

Seattle, Washington, U.S.A.
This major coastal seaport city, officially monikered as the “Emerald
City” is the chief gateway for trade with Asia making it the 8th largest
port in the United States and the 9th in North America. Some famous
landmarks are the Space Needle and the Seattle Central Library with its
typographic floors and walls. Coffee aficionados would absolutely love
this place as it is the home of 3 of the most famous coffee companies in
the world.

Berlin, Germany
As the capital city of one of the most influential countries in the
history of the world with it’s long list of famous philosophers, music
composers, scientists and inventors, Berlin can offer the younger
generation a higher standard of living and employment opportunities in
various service sectors which comprises 80% of all companies in the
city. Creative industries in the fields of music, film, advertising,
architecture and the like also contribute an estimated 20% of Berlin’s
gross domestic product. |
|
|
|
Rome, Italy
One of the most culturally rich cities in the world, “Roma Capitale” is
the capital city of Italy and is referred to as “The Eternal City”.
Moreover, it’s the only city in the world which contains a whole state,
the enclave of the Vatican City which is why it is also defined as the
capital of two states. If you love all things ancient, mystifying,
religious and artistic, then Rome is the best city for you. |
