Travel website Big 7 has compiled a list of the ‘sexiest’ cities in the world and Ireland has an entry in the top 10 with Dublin.
The capital on Ireland was named as the 8th sexiest city in the world, above iconic cities such as Los Angeles, Madrid and Rome.
The list was formulated using several factors, including sexual activity levels, the quality and quantity of romantic hotels and restaurants, the vibrancy of the nightlife and the general reputation of the city.
The Irish accent frequently appears in the top of surveys regarding the sexiest accents in the world, so it is not a big surprise to see the capital appear so high on the list of sexiest cities.
It is also famously welcoming for visitors and has a vast choice of romantic places to visit and eat.
The number one city on the list was Miami, and Paris – the city of love – was named second.
The top ten was made up of Denver, Copenhagen, Cape Town, Zurich, Cap d’Agde, Dublin, Liverpool and Los Angeles.
