It has lost its ranking for the first time since 2018.

This annual report from ECA International evaluates cities on a variety of livability factors such as health services; housing, personal safety and leisure facilities.

This year Dublin has fallen out of the top 10 and is now ranked in 15th position due to the impact of Covid-19.

Three Scandinavian cities - Copenhagen, Stavanger and Gothenburg - make up this year's top three as the most liveable cities in the world for expats.

Lockdown measures have impacted the livability of 70% of other cities around the world.
