This is a profile of arguably the greenest tourist cities in the world, including 5 destination cities known for their ecology and greenness. These beautiful cities are all good choices for green fashion travel. Arriving at these destination cities, you can not only appreciate the trendy urban cultural atmosphere, but also enjoy the outdoor scenery.
Interestingly, these selected cities are almost all connected to the lake and sea.
1. Copenhagen
Over the years, Copenhagen has won so many awards in the field of urban ecology that it almost feels like a lack of new ideas. However, with its extensive bike paths throughout the city and its harbour area right in the heart of the city, it's hard not to be a sight to behold.
Queen Louise's Bridge is the busiest cycle segment on the city's western line, with about 35,000 people cycling through it during peak traffic hours. In Denmark, a green lifestyle is synonymous with cool and trendy.
2. Vancouver
Facing the broad Pacific Ocean and backed by the wild mountains of British Columbia, Vancouver has a natural advantage among many green ecological cities. The use of renewable energy and hydrogen power makes Vancouver enjoy exceptionally clean air.
Moreover, unlike many North American cities, Vancouver actively advocates an urban living atmosphere. Therefore, its downtown area is full of rich life atmosphere, full of trendy bars and popular restaurants. Here, there are 200 parks for you to enjoy the fresh air of the city, satisfying both the lungs and the soul.
Stanley Park, Vancouver's largest, is an island in itself, covered in rainforest on the west coast, with beaches, seawalls and coastal walks.
3. Amsterdam
Amsterdam is home to thousands of cyclists, and the city's canals are crisscrossed with rivers and open spaces. It's no surprise that it has been named one of the greenest cities in the world. Whether it's an old, mottled harbour crane arm or a refurbished tram platform, there's so much unique in Amsterdam that it's worth a stop.
Remember to visit the Noord area, which was originally an industrial area and has been reborn after renovation. It not only has a riverside area where you can relax, but also has rural scenery worth exploring.
4. Stockholm
Spread over 14 islands, Stockholm's urban area has such great natural conditions that its green identity has deep roots and a long history. A trip to the city lets you experience their commute like a local, take a ferry to explore the islands, or rent a kayak for an active afternoon.
Stockholm's creative restaurants are renowned for using fresh, local ingredients sourced from several of the city's iconic markets. The best of these markets are Östermalms Saluhall in Östermalm, Hötorgshallen in Norrmalm and Söderhallarna in Södermalm.
5. Singapore
When it comes to Singapore, people often associate it with glittering skyscrapers, yet Singapore is the greenest city in Asia. This small and dense island country with limited resources has found an innovative development model that puts ecology first.
For the citizens of this country, roof gardens are part of their daily life. Among them, the aerial observation deck on the top floor of the Sands complex in Marina Bay, as well as the spectacular infinity pool, is the most famous.
In Gardens by the Bay, the 50-meter-high Supertrees that use renewable energy are peculiar and stunning, symbolizing Singapore's passion for sustainable development. Just as New York has the High Line in the sky, the island city has built a 24-kilometer-long parkland that stretches along the city's old railroad tracks.
