Two travel groups have come up with different lists of the most romantic cities in Europe for Valentine’s Day.
Research by Catamaran Charter Croatia ranked Europe’s capital cities based on their number of romantic restaurants (as described on TripAdvisor) and hotels per million residents. A Canadian travel company, redtag.ca, also listed five top romantic cities in Europe and came up with somewhat different results.
Here’s the top 10 from Catamaran Charter Croatia:
- Lisbon
- Monaco
- Paris
- San Marino
- Rome
- Andorra La Vella, Andorra
- Amsterdam
- Athens
- Prague
- Reykjavik, Iceland
I’m not so sure about San Marino or Andorra as I’ve never been. But you can’t argue with Lisbon or Paris.
Redtag.ca came up with its own top five list today:
- Paris
- Venice
- London
- Dublin
- Amsterdam
Paris and Amsterdam were the only cities on both lists. Personally, I’d add Ljubljana, Slovenia and Salzburg, as well as Vienna and Stockholm.

PORTER ADDS TORONTO-EDMONTON FLIGHTS
| Porter Airlines is launching its first flights between Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ) and Edmonton International Airport (YEG). Edmonton is the first destination in Alberta to be added to the airline’s network.
Flights are operated with Porter’s new Embraer E195-E2 jets. A 132-seat, two-by-two configuration gives every passenger more space thanks to no middle seat. Porter’s generous passenger experience, which includes complimentary beer and wine served in real glassware, free premium snacks, and free WiFi, will be available to all travellers. Flights between Toronto and Edmonton also have fresh, healthy meals, and cocktails available, either as part of the all-inclusive PorterReserve fare, or for purchase à la carte with PorterClassic. “The Toronto-Edmonton route is an opportunity for us to introduce Porter’s elevated economy travel experience to the Edmonton community,” said Kevin Jackson, executive vice president and chief commercial officer, Porter Airlines. “What Porter offers sets us apart from other airlines in North America by treating economy passengers with a level of respect and service that they won’t find anywhere else. ” Service on the Toronto Pearson-Edmonton route begins with one daily, non-stop return flight, increasing to three daily flights by May 1. Edmonton is the latest addition to Porter’s E195-E2 network, with Ottawa, Montreal and Vancouver having started earlier this month. Service to Calgary and Halifax also begin later this month.
