More than a third (37 percent) of Romanians say they would go to a city break in 2019. It is not surprising that most of them prefer, beyond exploring cities and sightseeing, to be able to relax in a peaceful and friendly environment.
Whether they want to spend an afternoon in the park or embark in a bicycle tour of the city, Romanian tourists search “green” opportunities they may lack at home, according to momondo.ro.

A few weeks ago, Lahti (Finland) was announced as the next city appreciated for its efforts to contribute to the health of its inhabitants.
Since 1997, the city has begun to work on improving air quality, accustoming local companies to monitor and contribute to its growth.
Also, a very high proportion – 99 percent – of its citizens live at maximum 300 m from an urban green space, allowing them to enjoy hiking, fishing or even harvesting forest fruits or mushrooms at leisure.
