Croatia ranks in Top 5 as best country to live in Europe in 2023
Croatia has been ranked as the fifth best country to live in Europe in 2023, according to a recent liveability study.
The study, conducted by U.S. research blog My Dolce Casa about moving, living and retiring abroad, identified the sweet spots in Europe that offer a combination of great quality of life and a reasonable cost of living.

“Croatia has a low cost of living score of 47 and a well above average quality of life score of 163, thus offering a great lifestyle at a reasonable price,” the research revealed.
