Stinky London, Rude Paris, Romantic Venice

If you need a sense of authority to trust a publication, you can't do better than one from Australia. So, when the Sydney Morning Herald says that Brussels is boring, you have to believe it. Likewise, Paris is overrated, and the food sucks in London (duh).

Well, if you think the folks down under have credibility problems, fear not. It was reporting on a TripAdvisor poll of nearly 2,400 travelers, so it's really TripAdvisor users who had an epiphany on the quality of London's cuisine.

Bad news for London: it also has the worst-dressed locals and is the most expensive. Oh, and it's the dirtiest.

Sorry, guys.

Meanwhile, we needed a poll to tell us that Paris was the least friendly (though I've never had a problem there) and the second most expensive. Yet, Paris is top for grub and fashion, and London leads in nightlife, public parks and free attractions.

Need a romantic getaway in Europe? Venice still wins.
