The reputation it has built for the hundreds of wedding proposals, honeymoons and valentine’s day weekends has left the place with a soft, warm atmosphere with quaint cafes popping up onto the sidewalks, romantic walks, beautiful architecture and fabulous boutique shopping to keep the romance alive. A visit to the French capital wouldn’t be complete without that visit to the famous Eiffel Tower and a smooch at the top!
Greece
Known for its spectacular sunsets and stunning white buildings, crescent-shaped Santorini remains one of the most romantic places on earth. This oasis is packed with newlyweds getting married or enjoying their honeymoons as they wander through the heavenly towns surrounded by white walls and blue doors. You can even enjoy Santorini’s famous sunsets with a blue lagoon cocktail to match — and the romance doesn’t stop there! Once the sun has set, the city lights up and takes its visitors through a fantasy journey as they marvel at these glowing sights.
Spain
From city lovers to beach bums, Spain has something for every kind of couple. Barcelona offers a variety of adventures enthralled with excitement and spontaneity. You often see visitors strolling through the markets looking for local fresh produce or joining in with flamenco dances scattered around the city. For those couples who love to dance, you’re in luck! Spaniards love to dance and visitors can find many nightclubs and bars around the city ready to replenish you with sangria and salsa! Or maybe you’re a couple seeking paradise and a destination made for sunshine bathing – Mallorca is the spot for you! This island is perfect for those wanting an escape with secret beaches and coves to kayak and snorkeling for those braver couples. Mallorca offers sun, sand and treasured memories
Croatia
If you’re one of those “I want to find a hidden gem away from tourists” kind of couple, then Croatia may be what’s you’re looking for. Croatia is often missed out on lists of romantic destinations but is becoming more popular thanks to its stunning backdrops and impressive beaches. Dubrovnik has become a TV sensation lately with many TV shows and movies showcasing their beautiful streets and historical buildings. This charming “World Heritage Site” town is enjoyed throughout the year by many couples looking for that destination with a difference. Want even fewer crowds? Visiting the Dalmatian Hinterland will give that authentic local experience and quiet time to share with your special someone. Swim in the fresh waters of Imotski’s Blue Lake in the daytime before watching the lake walls change color as the sun sets as you wine and dine in the many little cafes to choose from.
Visiting Europe is the perfect trip for two, learn a lot about this beautiful land and learn more about your partner. C’est l’amour!
