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? Online travel community and social networking site WAYN commissioned a survey among more than 2000 travellers worldwide to discover what are the best cities in Europe for love in the springtime.
According to WAYN respondents 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.
For those hoping to find love on their travels, the best seducers are to be found in Paris and the least shy in Amsterdam. London boasts the most humorous lovers followed by Dublin. London however also has the least romantic lovers along with Moscow and Berlin. WAYN’s British travellers voted Dublin tops for funny lovers and Amsterdam the city for best seducers.
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.
Said WAYN joint CEO and founder, Jerome Touze, “Whatever your age and whatever your relationship status this is a great time of the year to visit the great European capitals. Love is certainly in the air, people are laughing, smiling and there is just a huge feel good factor. Something we could all benefit from during these difficult times.”
