The Most Relaxing Cities In The World
The ranking was compiled by travel eSIM group Holafly, which was highlighted by Condé Nast Traveller. The study looked at a few central factors, such as “population density; the number of nature areas and parks; the number of spa and wellness centres; air quality; sunlight hours; traffic index; and happiness score.”
At the very top of the list is Copenhagen, Denmark with a score of 70. Condé Nast Traveller describes the city as “put[ting] its people first through design and city breakers return year after year thanks to residents’ hospitable nature – plus the historical highlights and world-class dining on offer.”
Second and third place are occupied by Barcelona, Spain and Vienna, Austria, respectively. But following that is B.C.’s very own Vancouver with a score of 66.6, just 0.2 points shy of tying for third place with Vienna.
