Highs and lows of European capitals
Highs and lows of European capitals
"Europe's capital cities have all their highs and lows, but no other continent offers travelers such a wealth of culture and sights within such short distances." Luke Fredberg, TripAdvisor spokesman
If you're planning a trip to Europe, be warned: London has the worst food, Paris is the most overrated and Brussels is the most boring, according to a survey of what travelers think about European cities.
In the poll of nearly 2,400 travelers, by Web site TripAdvisor, the British capital was voted the dirtiest in Europe, home to the worst-dressed people and the most expensive.
Paris did not come off any better, with travelers saying it was the least friendly city and the second-most expensive.
But both popular destinations redeemed themselves in the online poll, with Paris voted as having the best cuisine and best-dressed people, while London was seen as having the best nightlife, best public parks and most free attractions.
"Europe's capital cities all have their highs and lows, but no other continent offers travelers' such a wealth of culture and sights within such short distances," TripAdvisor spokesman Luke Fredberg said in a statement.
"Despite London emerging as the dirtiest and most expensive city, its fantastic free attractions prove that you don't need to be a millionaire in order to enjoy the capital."
Venice beat both Paris and Rome as Europe's most romantic destination, but it was also voted the third-most expensive, after Paris and London.
Well, I thought Paris was a very romantic city, but obviously Venice is the most romantic capital... Well, that's nice, my sister's just been there!
