If you're considering moving in the near future, you may be looking for an upgrade on your quality of life. Luckily, Monocle Magazine has conducted a survey to find out where the quality of life is the best in the world.

Only one Canadian city made the top 20 list and that was our very own Vancouver. While Vancouver may be the most expensive city in Canada, it looks like it might be worth it, after all.

The top 20 list goes as follows:

  1. Copenhagen
  2. Zürich
  3. Helsinki
  4. Stockholm
  5. Tokyo
  6. Vienna
  7. Lisbon
  8. Auckland
  9. Taipei
  10. Sydney
  11. Seoul
  12. Vancouver
  13. Munich
  14. Berlin
  15. Amsterdam
  16. Madrid
  17. Melbourne
  18. Kyoto
  19. Brisbane
  20. Los Angeles
Copenhagen scored the top spot, so if it wasn't on your travel list before, you may want to revaluate.
"Copenhagen is one of those cities where there is a real ambition to deliver a better quality of life for everyone," says Monocle's editor in chief, Andrew Tuck. "The ambitions around creating a cleaner environment are best in class and the city is reaping the rewards of years of urban investment."
