Lover’s paradise? Amsterdam ranks 5th in the best cities for dating in the world

Amsterdam has just been ranked as the 5th best city for dating worldwide. With its canal couple cruises, romantic restaurants and bustling bars, it’s hard to disagree!

A recent study by insurance company CIA Landlords (Yes, you read that right) has gathered a list of the best capital cities for dating in the world.

The list is based on the the cities’ level of safety and the amount of things couples can do there when going on a date night:

  • Date venues
  • Intimate restaurants and bars
  • Cinemas
  • Museums
  • Street safety
  • Mini golf courses 🤔

According to the study, the ideal dating hotspot is the Swiss capital of Bern, with Reykjavík and Luxembourg following the lead!

It’s quite strange the literal “city of love” didn’t make the cut, it seems that Paris needs to start looking out for itself with the Netherlands edging closer to the romantic title. 💋

The ten best cities for dating in the world, according to the study:

1. Bern, Switzerland

2. Reykjavík, Iceland

3. Luxembourg, Luxembourg

4. Prague, Czech Republic

5. Amsterdam, The Netherlands

6. Wellington, New Zealand

7. Tallinn, Estonia

8. Ljubljana, Slovenia

9. Dublin, Ireland

10. Canberra, Australia
