In 2015, Hull was named in a survey as the least romantic city in the country, but two years later the tables have turned.

The city has been named in the top three alternative city breaks by travel guide company Rough Guide.

Hull was behind Manchester and Bristol, but was above Derby and Belfast, which made up the rest of the top five.

It follows a mention in other lists too, with Hull recently making it into a top 10 emerging destinations list, with the city coming in ninth place.
