Heidelberg , Germany

86

Heidelberg is a compact university city on the Neckar, where a historic core meets a strong research economy and rail links that reach far beyond the Rhine-Neckar region. Its beauty, walkability, and unusually high quality-of-life scores make it feel more like a finely scaled European living room than a sprawling metropolis, with the castle watching over it all.[5][6][7]
