Vienna is half green: the Vienna Woods, the Danube island and the Prater give the city the largest green share of the twelve, and the densest doctor supply. The coffee house culture, schnitzel and a fine dust value above the EU target are the other half.

cinalia suggests
- Danube island for running: 21 kilometers of car-free river bank in the middle of the city.
- Vienna Woods by tram: hiking trails start at the end of the line, with wine taverns as the reward.
- Use the doctors: 4.8 per 1,000 residents is the highest value of the twelve, check-ups are quick to get.
- The schnitzel is an event: Viennese cuisine is rich, the market stalls at the Naschmarkt are the daily alternative.
Life expectancy and care
Vienna reaches 82 years, above the Austrian average and with 4.8 outpatient doctors per 1,000 residents the densest supply of the twelve. The general hospital is one of Europe’s largest, and the annual free health check is used by a growing share of the city.
Air, green space and water
Fifty percent of Vienna is green and water: the Vienna Woods, the Danube island, the Prater, Schönbrunn, Lobau. No other city of the twelve has more. The fine dust value of 11 micrograms is the weak spot, with traffic and heating in the basin of the Vienna Basin, but it has fallen by a third in ten years.
Movement and daily life
Twenty-two percent of Viennese are in a sports club, cycling stands at ten percent of trips and is growing. The Danube island is the running track, the Vienna Woods the weekend, the Alps two hours away. Viennese cuisine and coffee house culture bring pleasure and calories; the Naschmarkt brings the vegetables.
What the city gets right
Vienna proves that a big city can be half park. Whoever runs on the Danube island, hikes the Vienna Woods and treats the schnitzel as an occasion lives here as green as in a small town.
