Author Sonya Matejko in Vienna holding a wine glass with head resting on hand and sunglasses on
Vienna is said to be a pretty expensive place to live, but my cost of living is lower than it was when I lived in parts of the US.
  • I moved from the US to Vienna in 2022 and I've loved living here ever since.
  • I live pretty comfortably and spend about 800 euros, or $860 a week.
  • Tasty wine is very affordable here and so is public transit, which is easy to use. 

Since 2022, I've had the pleasure of living in Vienna, the world's most liveable city.
