Medicine Hat, AB — Amazon.ca has compiled a list of 20 of the most romantic cities across the country, and the Gas City has made the list.

The list is ranked by comparing sales data from different categories surrounding Valentine’s Day.

Medicine Hat ranked 16 out of the top 20 cities. Grande Prairie was the highest ranked city in Alberta, in fourth place.

Among other cities in Alberta, Calgary ranked 10th, Red Deer Ranked 11th, Lethbridge ranked 12th and Edmonton ranked 17th.

CHAT asked local residents what they thought the most romantic thing about the city was.

“The parks and the hills and the layout of the land,” said one man.

Another woman echoed his words saying it’s easy for people to fall in love with the scenery.

“We have the prairies and the coulee,” she said. “This is actually where I met my husband too, where we got engaged and married.”

A second woman said, “Everything about the city is romantic. It doesn’t matter where you go or what you do, there’s always lots to do.”

Victoria B.C. ranked first on the list, which is now its eighth year.
