 | The best part of living in Switzerland is that all the tourist attractions are so close to each other that this country is a living paradise. Right at the center are the beautiful Alps which give this country its true beauty, in terms of landscapes and the climate. Amongst the various cities in this country, Basel is a good option for settling down as it has many industries where work is not a problem. This city is situated on the meeting point of Switzerland, Germany and France and Europe's oldest hotel, the Three Kings on the Rhine is located here.

Lake Zurich and the numerous art galleries provide much needed recreation for those who want to have the best of both worlds. |
| Mediterranean Islands |
 | If you're looking at the most beautiful places to live in the world, in order to retire, this option is perhaps the best I can suggest. The Mediterranean islands are all those islands that are a part of the Mediterranean sea. This means, you have islands from as many as 4-5 countries to choose from. Each island here is equally serene and much more than the superlative degree of beautiful, if there is any. Some of the islands you can choose from are Sicily and Sardinia in Italy and Corsica in France. Corsica is one of the least developed area in the Mediterranean and is thus not at all spoiled. This makes it a very good option if you want to retire amongst other options such as Majorca in Spain and Lesbos and Rhodes in Greece. More than half the population of Majorca is engaged with the tourism sector in one way or the other, showing us the relaxed lifestyle they must be accustomed to. Lesbos is a place you should choose only and only if you're willing to live completely without the feeling of being in a proper town whereas on the contrary, Rhodes has it all for you. Beautiful landscapes, sites and we certainly can't forget the Palace of the Grand Master that only adds to the beauty. |
| Paris |
 | Yes, Paris is the largest city in France and one of the most populated metropolitan areas in Europe but it is still and will always remain one of the most beautiful cities on the face of this Earth. Every person, no matter what his/her age, or the purpose for which he/she wants to settle in a different city, Paris certainly is the most favorite. Though the population is a problem for most, the mesmerizing architecture and the number of World Heritage Sites it boasts of, make living here, all in all, a good experience. Paris is situated on the Seine river, and in 2009, it was one of the most influential cities in the world and also one of the top three European cities of the future according to Financial Times. If there was an all-rounder in cities, it would undoubtedly be Paris. Right from education to fashion and from media to science, it's influential in almost every sector, that too to a great extent. However, one important note here is that along with being one of the most beautiful places to live, this city is also considered one of the most expensive cities to live in. Also, if you would be living in this city, you would host a total of 45 million tourists or more every year. |
| Italy |
 | Italy's Quality of Life Index is ranked in the top ten in the entire world and is also globally the 23rd most developed country. The first city that would come to anyone's mind when you think of Italy is Rome, the capital of the country and one of the most culturally influential cities in the world. Undoubtedly one of the most amazing places in the world, it stands 30th in all the cities of the world for giving highest wages to its workers. Banking and tourism are two sectors that are highly dominant amongst the rest. World Heritage Sites such as the Colosseum and the Trevi Fountain are just a few to name in a long list of beautiful sites in this city. Florence is your second option if you're in search for a beautiful place to live as it has everything, from an economy that would support you to a fashion industry that would amuse you. In Florence, manufacturing/producing and commerce are dominant sectors while tourism beats them to the first spot with some amazing sites and landscapes, the Boboli gardens being a fine example.

 | Brazil is a country that attracts the youth like no other, isn't it? My first option for in this country would be the city of São Paulo which also happens to be the largest city in Brazil. Not only is it the largest city, it's also one of the top 5 largest metropolitan areas in the world. If ever buildings could make a place look beautiful, it would those of Sao Paulo and all you need to do is see the skyline of Paulista Avenue to believe me.
