Bonus: worst cities for dating
Some cities aren’t suitable for a romantic trip. Here are top 5 worst cities for dating.
Rotorua, New Zealand
Amazing landscape, geothermal sources, a lot of health-improving SPA-procedures sound extremely attractive for lovers when they think about dating. But there is a flipside of Rotorua. For example, the pungent odor of rotten eggs, which is felt immediately upon entering the city.
Cologne
Despite the fact that the city is very beautiful, romance is spoiled by multiplane fights in bars and on the streets. Scuffles, as a rule, are provoked by a large amount of traditional German beer.
New York
In New York, there are so many museums, galleries, attractions and entertainment that, as a rule, tourists have a desire to spend the whole day exploring the city, not with a loved one in a hotel or restaurant. New York is the worst city for dating. If you are looking for a truly romantic place, choose a more tranquil city.
Barcelona
Barcelona is the world capital of pickpockets, so someone here can easily steal your wallet or passport. Otherwise, instead of a romantic dinner in a restaurant, you risk spending half a day at the police station.
Bangkok
Thailand is associated with tropical beaches, huge gilded temples and friendly locals. But for dating, it's better to choose calm Thai islands, not the noisy capital, where you have to bargain with sellers at the market and watch the sweaty middle-aged sex tourists and drunken companies.
