Ooh La La! Victoria is Canada's Most Romantic City

Stand aside Paris. Forget about it Rome. Because when it comes to world-class cities to spend Valentine’s Day in, Victoria, BC, is hard to beat!
 
Typically known as the "Garden City," this Victoria’s nickname should perhaps be changed to "Romance City", because or the sixth consecutive year it has been named Canada's Most Romantic City by Amazon Canada.
 
But what does Amazon Canada know about romance, you may well ask. Well, the title Canada’s Most Romantic City was found by the online retail giant comparing sales data from January 1, 2017 to January 1, 2018 on a per capita basis in cities with more than 20,000 residents. The data looked at sales of romance novels (both print and Kindle editions), romantic comedies, relationship books, jewellery and sexual wellness products.
 
In addition to taking the top spot, Victoria also earns bragging rights for being number one in the categories of relationship books, romance books and romantic comedies.
