Are you planning a romantic escape this Valentine’s Day? Whether you’ve been together for a year and you’re in the honeymoon phase, or for years and you’re craving some alone time, this is the perfect opportunity to focus on the two of you.
To help you choose the ideal city destination, here’s a guide to some of the most beautiful places in Europe to celebrate love on 14th February.
Paris: The City of Love
Paris is a popular choice for couples seeking a city break. It’s known as the City of Love, and for good reason having become a popular choice for marriage proposals. In fact, there were a record number of proposals at the Paris Olympics and Paralympics last year.
It’s easy to see what makes this a place where you’d want to ask such an important question. Here, you can kiss in the sparkling glow of the lights beamed from the Eiffel Tower, wander the charming cobblestone streets of Montmartre and make your way to the banks of the River Seine.
To round off the day, you might want to sample a delicious meal for two at one of Paris’ many Michelin-starred restaurants. There are bistros and cafés, delis and formal restaurants located across the city.
Prague: The Fairytale City
Prague is a fairytale brought to life. Its cobblestone streets, Gothic spires, and medieval architecture are truly captivating.
While you’re in the city, take a stroll hand in hand through the historic Old Town or head to Charles Bridge. Lined with baroque statues, this iconic bridge dates to the 1400s and offers stunning views of the Vltava River and Prague Castle. At sunrise or sunset, it’s bathed in golden light, creating the perfect backdrop for a shared moment.
If you’re planning your weekend here, take in a world-class opera performance or head to one of the tiny wine bars tucked away in hidden alleys. You can also add a touch of magic when you take a twilight river cruise, where the city’s illuminated skyline reflects in the water.
Venice: The Floating City
You can indulge in an enthralling city break when you head to Venice. With its network of canals that weave under bridges and past stunning architecture, the city is like no other. You and your partner can experience gliding along these canals in a gondola for a truly romantic excursion.
While you’re in Venice, head to St Mark’s Square, where you can enjoy a cappuccino at one of the historic cafés and, as the sun begins to set, wander along the Rialto Bridge where you can take in breathtaking views of the Grand Canal. End the days you spend here with romantic dinners overlooking the lagoon.
