Ljubljana - Three times a charm for the city of Nijmegen (NL). The Dutch city won the award for Green Capital 2018 and may call itself the greenest city in Europe for the year 2018. Contestants in the final in the Slovenia capital Ljubljana were another Dutch city - Hertogenbosch - and the Swedish city Umea.
