These Are The 10 Healthiest Cities In The World For 2021

One Aussie city makes the top 10 once again. - by Nikolina Ilic

These Are The 10 Healthiest Cities In The World For 2021

We love a good list, especially one that pins Sydneysiders against Melbournians, and this one does it at a global scale.

Lenstore U.K's Healthy Lifestyle Cities Report has dropped for 2021, revealing the top 10 list of cities in the world where people have 'an outstanding overall lifestyle.'

The report judges cities based on environmental factors, such as diet and lifestyle, and analyses 44 global cities across 10 metrics ranging from sunshine hours to the average cost of a gym membership.

First in, once again, is none other than Amsterdam with an average life expectancy of 81.2 and a happiness level of 7.44 out of 10.

Famous for their number of cyclists, and their picturesque canal walks, the city is home to over 400 outdoor activities to keep you both fit and entertained, which is made even better with the destination sitting in the top 10 least polluted cities in Europe.

In the top 10 healthiest locations to live in the world, seven are based in Europe, with three of these being Scandinavian countries - Stockholm, Copenhagen and Helsinki - all known for their low pollution levels, short working hours, and high happiness levels.

Coming in at number two and eleven are none other than Sydney and Melbourne, respectively. Falling short of first place, Sydney ranks in second position with an impressive number of sunshine hours at 2,636 per year, which is over 1,000 more than cities such as Berlin, Dublin and Geneva.

Check out the list below:
