Bike theft is a big problem all over Europe. Amsterdam, London, and Oslo are some cities that come to mind that are known for high rates of bike theft.
Which model Kryptonite lock do you have? European posts, ie traffic light posts (no North American style parking meters here) tend to be larger diameter then in North America. With some of the smaller Kryptonite locks you might have trouble finding something to lock up to.
