Valentine Day is just around the corner. To give the people idea about the most romantic cities in the US, Amazon.com today announced its list of the top 20 most romantic cities in the U.S.
According to Amazon, the cities were determined by compiling sales data of romance novels and relationship books (both Kindle and print); romantic comedy movies (digital and DVDs); a collection of romantic music, including Dean Martin, Barry White, Luther Vandross, Maxwell and Miguel (CDs and MP3s); as well as the sales of sexual wellness products, among cities with more than 100,000 residents. Sales were tabulated from Jan. 1, 2013.
The Top 20 Most Romantic Cities in the U.S. are:
- San Antonio

Some of the interesting findings in Amazon’s romantic data unveiled that:

- The big movers and shakers this year were San Antonio, Seattle, Spokane, Wash., San Jose and Sioux City, S.D., all of which didn’t make the top 20 list last year.
- Knoxville, Tenn., fell from a two year reign as the most romantic city in the U.S., slipping to No. 3.
