GENEVA: The lakeside city – and European headquarters of the United Nations and Red Cross – ranked just behind its fellow Swiss city Zurich for the second year in a row. Europe has 16 cities amongst the world’s top 25 cities for quality of living. It is also ranked the world's sixth most important financial center by the Global Financial Centers Index. And it is one of the most expensive cities in Europe, though Moscow remains higher.
