Copenhagen among top wellness workation destinations

The Wellness Travel Report ranked the Danish capital fourth overall based on scores across seven parameters

If you’re thinking about enjoying a relaxed workation sometime in 2022, Copenhagen might not be a bad shout.

According to the 2022 Wellness Travel Report, the Danish capital ranked fourth overall based on scores across seven parameters.

Copenhagen scored particularly high marks in the categories of Internet Speed, Safety, Quality of Life and Healthcare, while also performing well in Air Pollution and Climate Index.

Same old achilles heel
Copenhagen probably could have scored even higher on the list but, as many times before, it was hampered by its score in the Cost of Living category. 

Only leaders Kansas City, Vienna and Wellington fared better in the report, which was compiled by Icelandair based on results from over 100 cities worldwide.

With Copenhagen and Edinburgh making up the rest of the top five, Victoria, Perth, Frankfurt, Brisbane and Helsinki completed the top ten.
