Oslo Leaves Lovers Cold
Amsterdam Best for a Dirty Weekend
Paris in the Springtime Still Tops for Romance
London, April 26, 2009: It is springtime in Europe, trees are in blossom, the birds are singing, love and lust is in the air. For those with the inclination, now is a great time to visit the major European cities with a lover or, to meet someone new, but which are the best cities to enjoy, experience, conduct and find love in its many different forms? Lifestyle and travel social network WAYN.com, commissioned a survey among more than 2000 travellers worldwide to discover which are the best cities in Europe for love in the springtime.
For those hoping to find romance on their travels it may be best to avoid London which was voted as having the least romantic lovers along with Moscow and Berlin. On the other hand if having a laugh is a turn-on, the UK capital should be first choice as it was selected European city with the most humorous lovers. Irish capital Dublin was runner-up for laughing lovers. According to the survey, the best seducers are to be found in Paris and the least shy in Amsterdam. WAYN’s British travellers voted Dublin tops for funny lovers and Amsterdam the city for best seducers.
WAYN respondents say the best European cities in which to enjoy a dirty weekend are Amsterdam followed by Paris, London, Barcelona and Venice. Paris however gets the vote for having the most romantic atmosphere ahead of Venice and Rome. Oslo received the least votes for romantic atmosphere followed by Krakow and Stockholm.
The French capital was also top choice for having the most intimate places and the best hotels and food for lovers. Confirming the city’s growing reputation as a gourmet capital, London came third in the food for lovers category, just behind Rome.
WAYN’s survey found that Amsterdam is the best European city to enjoy kinky love but Barcelona is tops for those who like dirty dancing.
Commenting on the survey results, WAYN joint CEO and founder, Jerome Touze said, “I’m a Frenchman living in London and for me the British capital is certainly one of the romantic cities of Europe. Also, it is often said that the best way to charm someone is by making them laugh and if that’s the case perhaps Londoners are romantic after all.”
