What is the most important ingredient for an unforgettable romantic vacation? Out-of-the-way accommodations? Excellent food? Spectacular scenery? Fun couple activities? If you answered yes to one or all of these, then you might want to consider heading to Europe for European romantic getaways. After all, Europe is home to some of the most romantic places in the world.
Prague
The city of Prague, which is the capital of the Czech Republic, is considered one of the most romantic places in the world, and is therefore, a top honeymoon destination. During the day, you can visit many amazing attractions, such as Prague Castle and the St. Nicolas Cathedral. At night, you can enjoy a quiet stroll on winding cobblestone streets lit by old-fashioned street lamps, snuggle in a horse-drawn carriage or take a rowboat down the Vltava River while soaking up the rich, romantic atmosphere.
You can also take your loved one to Bruges, Tallinn, Florence, Rome, and of course, the romance capital of the world – Paris, France. All these cities are havens for couples where you and your loved one can enjoy many beautiful sights together on your European romantic getaways or simply cuddle up on a bench and watch the world go by.
Staying at the Hotel de la Cite
After sightseeing, you’ll want to spend the night in a romantic hotel, like the Hotel de la Cite in Carcassonne, France. This hotel is actually a well-preserved medieval castle located in a citadel between two historical landmarks, which translates to spiral staircases, stained-glass windows, stone walls and formal gardens. The luxury and hospitality offered by the hotel is also befitting of royalty while the 40 guest rooms and 21 suites are all individually furnished with a combination of Renaissance style and the latest amenities.
Dining at Le Manoir
Just as the best dates consist of a romantic dinner for two, there is no doubt that the excellent cuisine of Europe contributes to memorable European romantic getaways. One of the places where you can sample this is at the Le Manoir in the village of Oxfordshire, a two Michelin-starred restaurant which offers meticulously prepared dishes spiced with fresh herbs grown in its own two-acre backyard and excellent wines coupled with a charming ambience of relaxing countryside views and candlelight. Reserving a table weeks in advance is recommended.
Lounging on the Sands of Papa Cove
Europe also has many wonderful beaches and coves for those who love soaking up the sun and the sand, such as the Papa Cove on the eastern shore of the Ios island in Greece. This cove offers warm golden sands, calm crystal waters that are perfect for swimming and most importantly, walls of rock that provide a sanctuary for lovers, shielding them from the noise and the crowds of nearby beaches.
Most Romantic Ski Resort – St. Moritz
Ski resorts can also be romantic places. After all, the cold weather is perfect for snuggling and the frozen lakes and sparkling landscapes provide breathtaking views. St. Moritz in Switzerland is one such ski resort, with great slopes that offer endless opportunities not just for skiing, but also for sledding and snowboarding, and an ambience you’re sure to fall in love with.
These are just some of the most romantic places in Europe, which are great destinations or stops for European romantic getaways. While all these are exceptional settings for dates and honeymoons, though, keep in mind that the most important ingredient for a romantic vacation is a harmonious couple and as long as you and your partner are in love, you can make any place and any moment romantic, no matter where or when it may be.
