Delhi, the only Indian city to make the top 25 cut, was chosen among over 1,800 cities surveyed across the globe.
The Indian capital was ranked high for its sports clubs, shopping and bars in ‘The Ultimate Fun City Ranking’ report commissioned by ‘GetYourOwnGuide’ and ‘GoEuro’ travel firms.
The two companies compiled data based on 11 factors such as nightlife, average beer price and entertainment options to define what exactly makes a city fun for travellers of different age groups and interests. Of the total 1,830 cities, Berlin topped the rankings for its all-round attractiveness of bars and museums, followed by London, Paris, New York and Tokyo completing the top five.
‘New Delhi scored well across the board, which earned it 25th place. On a more unorthodox section, Bangkok emerged at top for adult entertainment, followed closely behind by Tokyo,’ Berlin-based GoEuro said in a statement.
The statement further added ‘Our people (from 23 countries) are a reflection of the diversity in the problem, and we try to solve it with technology.’
The online consolidated data-provider service for travellers across the European cities was founded by Indian entrepreneur Naren Shaam around two years ago.
‘GoEuro is a uniform and normalised data structure for the entire European ground travel industry that serves over 19 million passengers daily across Europe,’ Shaam said.
By 2019, GoEuro plans to have partners in all European markets, from Portugal to Russia.
