While most of Europe's major destinations have seen significant increases, the price rise recorded in Paris (+10% to 156 euros) by the Trivago.fr barometer has been superseded by other upward trends. In fact, Parisian hotels, previously in the top 3 least affordable destinations, have been relegated to sixth place. Venice (2th at 174 euros), but also Stockholm (164 euros) and Oslo (163 euros) have seen the price of a night's stay rise sharply compared with 2010, while Geneva remains at the top of the rankings (239 euros).
