They both mean "live", but "abitare" is used just for places like the town and/or the house you live in, and people you live with. "Vivere" is basically interchangeable with "abitare", but "abitare" is not interchangable with "vivere". That's because "vivere" has a wider meaning, it also implies to be biologycally alive.

Vivere è il luogo di provenienza mentre abitare è la città in cui abiti, ad esempio io vivo in Italia e abito a Bergamo
