Sexiest Cities In The World

Bristol’s one of the UK’s least friendly cities, but it seems as if our readers don’t mind a bit of an attitude. Whether it’s the romantic river setting or the nearby hot air balloon rides, travellers and locals agree – Bristol is pretty passion-inducing.

48. Las Vegas, Nevada, USA

While Americans themselves were ranked 45th out of the 50 sexiest nationalities, there are a few especially sexy cities in this country. Las Vegas, with its nightclubs, tantalising shows, and free-flowing booze, is one of them. It’s called Sin City for a reason.
