Finland’s capital Helsinki has taken out the 2011 crown for the world’s most liveable city as determined by Monacle’s Quality of Life survey.

Helsinki claims the number 1 spot in Monocle’s 2011 Quality of Life survey, which ranks the top 25 cities in the world to call home. Rising from fifth position in 2010, Helsinki outperformed Zürich at number 2 and Copenhagen at number 3 to claim the mantle as the world’s most liveable city.

It’s not surprising, Helsinki is home to Angry Birds after all so they are obviously doing something right up there.

This is a very weird Lonely Planet travel video about Helsinki and I’m not sure anything in it is to be believed but here you go:
