PicodiFebruary 5, 2020

Picodi.com analysis team decided to check the statistics of “romantic” queries on the internet in 22 largest cities and created the ranking of the most romantic places in Ireland.

In search of romantic

Our queries list consisted of terms like “Valentine’s Day”, “love confession”, “flowers”, “love”, and others which would associate with Valentine’s Day. During the period before Valentine’s Day, the frequency of searching these queries increases in whole Ireland. However, in some places, the interest in making a pleasant surprise to the significant other increases more, and in some — notably less.

Where do the most romantic people in Ireland live?

After looking closely at Google’s figures, it turns out that the most romantic Irish people live in Athlone, Waterford, and Tralee. In these cities, the increase in popularity of queries connected to Valentine’s Day was the highest. Residents of Athlone, living in the heart of the country, seem to have a soft spot in their hearts for romance.

Among all cities, the lowest interest in Valentine’s Day and all connected to it was noted among residents of Swords (22nd place). Ennis and Bray turned out to be quite unromantic as well (21st and 20th place respectively)

Here’s the full ranking of cities:
