Stockholm is built on fourteen islands and is more than half water and forest. The cleanest air of the European cities here, a sports club rate of 30 percent, swimmable water in the city center and the lowest smoking rate of the twelve carry 83.3 years.

cinalia suggests
- Swim in the city: Långholmen and Smedsudden are clean bathing spots in the center, open from June.
- Djurgården and the royal park: the running loops start a tram stop from the center.
- Winter light: 1,800 sunshine hours but only six hours of daylight in December; morning light and vitamin D are essential.
- Fika with a walk: take the Swedish coffee break outside, with a colleague, and the break becomes movement.
Life expectancy and care
Stockholm reaches 83.3 years, slightly above the Swedish average, with Karolinska as a research hospital and 4.3 outpatient doctors per 1,000 residents. The smoking rate of the region is the lowest of the twelve, and the tax-funded system reaches everyone.
Air, green space and water
Fifty-five percent of the city is water and green: the archipelago, Djurgården, the national city park, the forests on the edge. The fine dust value of 6 micrograms is the lowest of the European cities here, thanks to a congestion charge, electric buses and the wind from the Baltic.
Movement and daily life
Thirty percent of residents are in a sports club, orienteering, cross-country skiing, swimming and floorball lead. Cycling stands at twelve percent and drops in winter, when the ski tracks in the parks take over. The Nordic diet with fish, whole grain and berries is on every table, the cinnamon buns of fika are the exception that is allowed.
What the city gets right
Stockholm shows that a capital can be a nature reserve with offices. Whoever swims in the center, skis in the park in winter and takes the morning light seriously lives here as healthily as in the countryside.
