What country in Europe is the best to raise family?
Hi, I live in US with a husband and 3 kids. I am thinking about living in Europe for a while in some quiet place, but close to the city. What is the best country to live with good schools, people, healthcare, culture, etc? May be UK or Switzerland?
good healthcare and social security are in the scandinavian countries like sweden ,norway and people are nice too ,most are educated and have old traditions.. uk is not that good for your kids since most teens in uk have serious problems with alcohol and drugs they have no family values and immigrants are also a problem like street gangs (like bradford)
switzerland is multilangual country with 3 nations french german and italians ,income for capita is high and has a good environment like beautiful forests and mountains like alps
small countries like belgium,luxembourg, switzerland are good and have state social benefits and strong economy but it is HARD to have permission i don’t know your situation.
big countries have lots of immigrants and foreigners are not really wellcomed there especially after this crisis because of the unemployment.
switzerland ,belgium ,luxembourg and scandinavian countries are the best ones to live since you don’t need visa in euro zone you can visit others anytime you want.

Saygin does not mentio probably te best country in Europe – France, for a life that is still good. If you are retired it is great. But, like all EU countries, it is really in trouble financially. Greece is likely bankrupt. France, Italy, Germany among others, fiddle the books to cover their huge fiscal problems.
But, for quality of life in the rural areas, there is nothing to beat France. As for the comment re UK from Saygin – I do not know what he thinks is happening. UK is still a wonderful place to live, especially if you work. A bit on the expensive side in some places – avoid London, for instance, which is not the best – but again the smaller towns have lots to offer and UK is rising from te recession a lot faster tha other EU countries. (FT figures show this)
So, take a good look at the places that have lots to offer, depending on your needs. And, if you speak French and have a good qualification, France will welcome you.
And, though I have never been there, New Zealand just begs to be looked at. Laid back, some say backward, but still worth a close look.
