23 CLEANEST CITIES WORLDWIDE

23 Cleanest Cities Worldwide

23 CLEANEST CITIES WORLDWIDE 

Most countries I have visited over the years were mainly clean, except for a few. Notwithstanding, many appeared spotless in the main squares and popular tourist areas. However, straying from these areas to the back streets or parks revealed garbage bins overflowing, dirty streets, smelly drains, and even loiterers. Contrarily, these 23 cleanest cities worldwide were the ones I found to be almost immaculately spotless.

I chose these 23 cleanest cities worldwide from 80-plus countries based on what I experienced during the time/year I visited. Below are some of the criteria I used to determine the top 23 cities.

  • Cleanest, litter-free streets, parks, public spaces, etc.
  • No, or the least amount of graffiti, trash, animal residue, etc.
  • The cleanest air quality (no smell of dust, urine, garbage, smoke, etc.).
  • Neat, clean garbage bins/boxes.
  • The least number of homeless people, beggars, loiterers, and stray animals.
  • Maybe not fancy, but clean, well-maintained building exteriors.
  • The least amount of carbon Emission (least amount of traffic/vehicles etc.).
  • No derelict vehicles and dump yards.
  • No slums.
  • Minimal or no noise pollution (no loud honking of horns or loud music, especially at night).

Please note that the cities are under their countries’ names in ALPHABETICAL ORDER and not according to cleanliest. So here are the 23 cleanest cities worldwide.

GEORGIA THE MYSTICAL TRANSCONTINENTAL NATION IN THE CAUCASUS 

The Republic of Georgia is a former Soviet Union country, and surprisingly close to Iran (just 1 hour 40 minutes flight away). It is a transcontinental country sandwiched between Russia and Turkey. Georgia is a small country tucked away at the eastern end of the Black Sea and the Greater Caucasus Mountains. Its capital and largest city is Tbilisi, and with a population of over 3.7 million. Many may not have heard of this country, or Georgia U.S.A. might come to mind when they mention its name. However, it is a mountainous, breathtaking, transcontinental country hidden in Europe and partially in West Asia. Georgia is famous for its cuisines, Black Sea beaches, wine region (Kakheti), and cave monastery (Vardzia), dating back to the 12th Century. Forest covers over a third of the country, and its main religion is Orthodox Christianity.
