Valencia is in the ‘Bronze Cities’ group, which includes the 101st to 200th places in the ranking, and occupies 125th place, along with four other Spanish cities.
The Happy City Index measures the well-being of citizens internationally. This award puts Valencia on the global map as a desirable place to live, work, play and feel at home.
The Mayor, Joan Ribó, highlighted the influence of green infrastructure on neighbourhood health, and recalled that Valencia has been designated European Green Capital 2024 and has been chosen by the European Commission among the 100 cities working to achieve the challenge of decarbonisation by 2030. These initiatives show the city’s commitment to sustainability and the well-being of its inhabitants.
Valencia’s recognition as one of the ‘happiest cities in the world’ is no coincidence. The city’s gastronomy is one of the best in Spain. Moreover, Valencia is a city with a rich history and heritage, with a large number of monuments and emblematic buildings that show its past and its evolution up to the present day.
In short, the city continues to work with initiatives that promote sustainability and the happiness of its inhabitants, making it an exceptional place to live.
