Vigeland Sculpture Park (or Frogner Park), in Oslo, the capital of Norway.

Also in the top three were Oslo (Norway) and Riga (Latvia), where trees cover 69.4% and 65% of the city area, respectively. Estonia’s Tallinn and Sweden’s Stockholm were also among the greenest capitals, naked-science writes.

Reykjavik, the capital of Iceland, has the lowest share of tree and park areas. There trees cover 1.6% of the urban area. Valletta (Malta) and Amsterdam (Netherlands) also became outsiders of the rating.

The ranking included the capitals of the European Union, the European Free Trade Association, the Western Balkans, as well as Turkey and the United Kingdom. The creators of the infographic took into account not only urban development, but also the surrounding area actively connected with the city.
