I often fantasize about living in a small Swiss city - with the country's incredibly dense rail network it functions almost like a supersized, diffuse metro area. And of course, with fantastic scenery and living standards.
And the little cities pack quite a metropolitan punch for their size. Big fan of Chur (pop. 35,000) in particular:

Zug (pop. 30,000) is nice too - and better-located - though a little dull.
