InterNations recently released its 2017 list of the best cities for living and working abroad.
City rankings are based on survey responses from nearly 8,000 people in 40 countries.
For each city, we also compiled cost-of-living estimates from Numbeo's database.
If you're thinking about living abroad, the best people to ask for tips might be the people who have already done it: expats.
InterNations, an expatriate network and global guide, put together a list of the best cities for living and working abroad, according to expats they surveyed.
To compile the data, InterNations surveyed 7,985 expats living in 40 countries. A city had to be mentioned at least 45 times to be included. City rankings were determined based on the quality and cost of urban living, quality of work life and finances, and ease of settling into the city.
We also noted the cost of necessities (and beer) there, based on figures from Numbeo. All amounts are in US dollars and are current as of November.
Here are the best overall cities for expats in 2017.
