| Beautiful Auckland is indeed a quality city. |
Auckland, a city I want so much to visit, is today celebrating being named the "Most Livable City in the Southern Hemisphere" in the prestigious Mercer 2011 Quality of Living Survey, which is conducted annually.
The New Zealand metropolis now ranks third worldwide in this Quality of Living category, right behind Vienna and Zurich, Switzerland, respectively.
The only other Southern Hemisphere city to come close to Auckland in the survey was Australia's Sydney, which placed 11th in the survey.
The news was welcomed by Gregg Anderson, GM North America, for Tourism New Zealand.
“Auckland is a city of great diversity,” says Anderson. “As the gateway to New Zealand for American and Canadians, it’s also a great place for visitors to explore when they first get to New Zealand.”
Vancouver placed 5th on the Mercer list, which evaluated 221 cities worldwide. Toronto ranked 15th.
