Surprisingly, Paris ranked just 66th due largely to high costs and relatively low sunshine, proving that visitors at least want the chance of getting a tan, even when they're in town on business."

As more and more working professionals relocate, the city has expanded its co-working spaces and conference facilities significantly. The city now offers 32.4 co-working spaces and 166 conference venues per 100 km², many of which are within walking distance to key tourist attractions."
