Warsaw among family-friendliest cities in Europe
23:05
Warsaw took 7th place in the ranking of the most friendly cities in Europe prepared by the Norwegian company from the financial sector Sumo Finans.
Sumo Finans used the following data to create its ranking: the peace of life (measured by the Global Peace Index), the cost of living per family of four, the cost of childcare, the cost of renting a three-room flat, the number of attractions for the family, the number of parks and green spaces ( calculated in total and per square meter), the level of education (calculated by the PISA results for a given country), the number of different activities that can be undertaken in a given city.
Partial results in each category gave each city a final score on a scale from 1 to 100.
The winner of the ranking and the most family-friendly city in Europe was Porto, ahead of Barcelona and Lisbon.
Warsaw took 7th place (ahead of Slovenian Ljubljana, and behind Athens). The Polish capital city obtained a particularly high result in the "education" category – all thanks to the fact that, on a European scale, Poland ranks third among the countries with the highest score in the PISA survey – behind Estonia and Finland.
In terms of the cost of living, Istanbul turned out to be the most family-friendly, ahead of Budapest and Vilnius. In turn, in terms of activities that the family can undertake together, Paris turned out to be the winner. Barcelona and Porto are the next two places.
