London Is Voted the Most Exciting, and Overpriced, European City


London was judged the most exciting city in Europe, and the most expensive, in a survey carried out by TripAdvisor, a travel-review website.

The U.K. capital also topped the list of cities easy to get around, in the website’s fourth annual European Cities survey, in which 3,523 travelers were questioned.
Birmingham, Britain’s second city, is the most boring and the least romantic place, Athens the dirtiest, Stockholm the safest and Paris the most overrated, with the rudest cab drivers, according to the survey, published today. 

Footnote:
The Bookman can believe the comments about it being expensive. I am astonished at what it has cost me to be here these past four days. Having a wonderful time though!

London has been known as the most expensive city in Europe for a long time, but you can find reasonable prices if you look for them. I usually stay in the Docklands, some quite new and good value accomodation (relatively speaking) there and a good transport connection on the Docklands Light Railway.
