Paris declared European capital with most green spaces
Paris has the highest number of green spaces out of all the capitals in Europe. According to a research project, which compared European capital cities, Paris was found to have 325 green spaces overall: 171 parks, 127 gardens, 16 playgrounds, ten bodies of water and one wildlife area. In terms of population, it has around seven parks and five gardens per 100,000 people.
Luxembourg City was ranked second and Dublin third. Other capitals making the top ten included Barcelona, Reykjavik and Lisbon. The data was collected from TripAdvisor and Citypopulation.de, and the results produced by Drinking Straw, a distributor of eco-friendly straws.
