Travel-General
Europe has a wealth of remarkable natural, historical and cultural attractions, which is why it is a popular tourist destination. It is particularly a great place to go for a honeymoon or a special date. Indeed, the spectacular scenery and old world charm of the continent combine to create the perfect ambience for European romantic getaways.
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.
The Hotel de la Cite, Carcassonne
What better way to have a fairy-tale honeymoon than to stay in a castle, namely the Hotel de la Cite? Indeed, this romantic hotel is actually a medieval castle located in the middle of a citadel listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Like most castles, it offers stained-glass windows, spiral staircases, ancient stone walls, antique furniture and formal gardens. Like most excellent hotels, though, it offers great service and modern room amenities, truly creating a place where old and new worlds collide.
Most Romantic Restaurant - Le Manoir
A candlelit dinner may seem like a cliche, but it still helps transform any evening into something magical, so make sure you reserve a table at the Le Manoir in the Oxfordshire village of Great Britain during your European romantic getaways. The ambience, service and cuisine of this simultaneously cozy and luxurious restaurant are truly superb, worthy of the two Michelin stars it proudly banners.
Papa Cove, Greece
Beaches are also great honeymoon destinations since they provide couples with a lot of opportunities to enjoy quality time together - such as swimming, watching the sunset or walking on the shore together. You'll have to find a beach that's not too crowded, though, just like Papa Cove. Like the many other beaches on the shores of Ios island in Greece, Papa Cove offers warm golden sands and calm, crystalline waters. It is hidden behind a wall of rock, though, making it a true haven for couples.
Skiing at St. Moritz
Ski resorts can also be great destinations for European romantic getaways, particularly the St. Moritz ski resort in Switzerland. Aside from being one of the best ski resorts in the world for its great slopes, St. Moritz also offers plenty of restaurants, shops and hotels - all with panoramic views of the unparalleled Engadine countryside.
All these and more make Europe an outstanding destination for romantic getaways. Indeed, whether you're visiting in the summer or in winter, or no matter where in Europe you plan to spend most of your vacation, you're sure to enjoy your European romantic getaways with your loved one.
