Budapest, next in line on our list of easiest cities in Europe to move to is the best ranked Eastern European destination on this list. It has amazed Westerners with its baroque charm, affordable prices, and a wild party life. This city is also one of the biggest transport hubs in Europe that is used by many different low-cost airlines. When it comes to finding work, the unemployment in Budapest is smaller than the national average (which is also solid btw), so good jobs are easy to find. The only bad thing about living and working in this city is the fact that salaries are much lower than the Western Europe or the U.S. average, but rent, utilities, and groceries are also more affordable.
