The 2025 EIT Urban Mobility Edition places the southwestern Polish city 28th, ahead of Vancouver in Canada, Valencia in Spain, London in the UK and Barcelona in Spain.
The index evaluates cities across three pillars: safe and well-connected infrastructure, the availability and use of bicycles, and long-term political support for cycling.
This year’s leader is Utrecht in the Netherlands, followed by Copenhagen in Denmark and Ghent in Belgium.
Wrocław was recognised for rapidly expanding its cycling network - now 428 km long - and for measures encouraging everyday use of bikes.
These include the launch of Mikrohub Wrocław, Poland’s first logistics centre operated entirely by cargo bikes, the reopening of the historic city centre to cyclists, the introduction of a permanent Slow Zone and the delivery of a youth mobility education programme.
The city’s bike-share system, relaunched with 2,500 bicycles, logged one million rides within six months.
Other Polish cities listed in the index include Poznań (53rd), Warsaw (62nd), Gdańsk (63rd) and Łódź (68th).
