Next time you’re looking for a charming European city to explore, here’s a list of metropolitan weekend hangouts that may be worth considering. Aside from all claiming a unique charm, every city on the list has won The European Green Capital Award.
Starting in 2010, one European city has been selected each year as the European Green Capital of the Year. The award has worked to promote the efforts made by local authorities to improve the environment and is intended to recognise high levels of progress.
