欧洲城市之最:伦敦最脏 巴黎最不友好

London is the dirtiest and most expensive city in Europe, while Brussels is the most boring, according to a British survey published on Wednesday.

London edged out Paris for the unwanted accolade of dirtiest city in the survey of more than 1,100 travellers carried out by TripAdvisor.

Respondents said Paris was the most unfriendly, followed by London and Moscow, but the French capital is still working its old magic as it was voted the most romantic destination in Europe and the best for shopping and dining.

London won out for having the best nightlife and public parks.

The cleanest city is Zurich, the survey said, although the tidy Swiss city also finished equal second behind EU hub Brussels as the most boring place.

Prague was elected the best bargain city, followed by Budapest and Lisbon.

Despite the weak dollar, half of the Americans surveyed said they planned to visit Europe this year, the same number as last year.

Here is the a rundown of the top three in various categories:

Best bargain city: 1. Prague 2. Budapest 3. Lisbon.

Most expensive: 1. London 2. Paris 3. Rome, Venice, Oslo, Moscow (tied)

Most friendly locals: 1. Dublin 2. Amsterdam 3. London.

本周三公布的一项英国调查显示,伦敦被评为欧洲最脏、物价最高的城市,布鲁塞尔则是最无聊的城市。

该项由TripAdvisor公司开展的调查共对1100多名游客进行了访问。调查结果显示,伦敦取代巴黎,不幸获封欧洲“最脏城市”称号。

Most unfriendly locals: 1. Paris 2. London 3. Moscow.
