And if Moscow turned out to be a prize-winner in only one category, then the capitals of Great Britain, France and Italy appear in several lists at once. Thus, London, according to travelers, turned out to be the most expensive city in Europe with the most vibrant nightlife and the best public parks, but at the same time won the title of the dirtiest European capital. London made an impression on most respondents: obviously, that is why it took second place in the list of unfriendly cities and, at the same time, third – in the list of cities with the friendliest population.
Paris has retained its reputation as the most romantic capital of Europe. In addition, it has outperformed its rivals in the category for best cuisine, took second places in attractiveness of residents and public parks, and third – in opportunities provided to nightlife lovers. However, apparently, not all travelers managed to enjoy the merits of the French capital: Paris leads the list of cities with the most hostile population. In addition, it ranks second in the lists of the most expensive and dirtiest cities in Europe.
In Rome, tourists were charmed, first of all, by the locals: the capital of Italy leads in the attractiveness of citizens. In other categories, Rome took more modest places: second place in the 'Best Cuisine' category, third – in romance and best shopping and, at the same time, in expensiveness and pollution.
Closing the list presented by the portal are the most boring, in the opinion of tourists, cities of Europe. They are Brussels, Zurich, and Warsaw. Moreover, while Zurich ranks first among the cleanest cities in Europe, Brussels and Warsaw appear only in the unappealing list of boring cities.
In addition, as reported by «Росбалт», the prize places in different categories went to Amsterdam, Barcelona, Budapest, Venice, Dublin, Copenhagen, Lisbon, Prague, Stockholm, and Florence. Moreover, Prague won the title of the cheapest European capital.
Its traditional ranking of the world's dirtiest cities was recently published by the London-based company Mercer Human Resource Consulting. When compiling the list, data were taken into account on the degree of waste disposal, air pollution level, drinking water suitability, availability of medical services and drugs, spread of infectious diseases in 215 major cities around the world. The starting point was the environmental situation in New York, whose 'cleanliness index' traditionally stands at 100 points.
As reported by NEWSru.co.il, first place in the ranking went to Baku (Azerbaijan), which was given an index of 27.6. Journalists note that the cause of the unfavorable environmental situation in the city was the oil-extracting industry. Among other cities of the former Soviet Union, Alma-Ata (9th place) and Moscow (14th place) also made it to the list.
The cleanest city in the world is recognized as a major industrial center of Canada – Calgary. The cleanliness index of this city with a developed industrial industry was 131.7 points.
