Whether it’s your anniversary, honeymoon, or want to take a break from your hectic schedule with bae and head on a romantic getaway, Europe offers something for all travel enthusiasts. It doesn’t matter whether you are an indoor couple who loves spending more cozy time indoors or travel enthusiasts who love a bit of an adrenaline rush. In contrast, traveling, you will find things and places in Europe that check the right boxes for all types of travel enthusiasts. From visiting classic monuments and museums that preserve timeless antiques of the ancient world to having a romantic candlelight dinner in the city of love, here’s five a list of five romantic things to do in Europe.
Paris, France
There is no better way to begin the list than the city of love, Paris. Even walking hand in hand with a loved one on Paris’s streets could give you butterflies in the stomach. One of the romantic things to do in Paris is cruising across the Seine river that offers astounding views of the Eiffel Tower’s soft flickering lights, the famous Notre Dame Cathedral, and various tourist attractions of the city. Let’s not forget the delicious three-course French Dinner with your loved one on the cruise. Depending upon your preferences, you can choose to go on an afternoon cruise or a dinner cruise in the night, accordingly. You can also take a walk on the Love Lock Bridge and lock your love by hanging a bridge. Tourists from all over the world do this as a way of expressing their love towards each other.
Santorini, Greece
Santorini is one of the best places to spend a romantic evening with your partner on a romantic getaway to Europe. If watching sunsets hand in hand is your thing, you will embrace every second in Oia, a village in Santorini. As we all know, Santorini is a Greek Island filled with picturesque white and blue buildings and churches. Watching the sunset across the Greek waters from Oia should be in your itinerary while visiting Santorini. That’s not all. You and your partner can indulge in some dry red wine and other Greek wines at the nearest Winery. If you both are in the mood for a little dose of adventure, then hike to the Santorini Volcano on the Nea Kameni island. Sailing and diving into the blue sea of Greece is a must when visiting Santorini. The boat rides offer a picturesque view of the islands, so it’s worth your time.
Venice, Italy
Venice is one of the beautiful European cities in the world. The narrow canals amidst the buildings and the city is a feast to the human eye. The best part is that you can explore those narrow canals on cute Venetian gondolas with your loved one by your side. The gondola rides are both shared and private. However, the prices for a private gondola ride could be a bit higher, so if you don’t mind a little splurge, then opt for the private ride with only you and Bae on the lakes of Venice. The sunset makes it even more romantic, so you may want to plan your gondola ride during the evening to have a memorable experience. Apart from Venice, a drive along the Amalfi Coast is something that you shouldn’t miss when visiting Italy. The view of the Tyrrhenian sea by your side while driving on the coastline is breathtaking.
Valencia, Spain
If you and your partner are wine enthusiasts, then a trip to Valencia, Spain, will be the most memorable one in Europe. Valencia is home to more than 275 wineries with lots of varieties of Spain’s most famous wines. You can spend a relaxing day at one of the vineyards indulging in Bae’s wine tasting experience. And if you want to go overboard with a thrilling romantic gesture, then you can opt for a hot air balloon flight sipping some of the best wines in the air with your partner. And if you are seeking some adventure and thrill, you can rent bikes and zip through the narrow streets of Valencia and visit some of the cleanest beaches such as the Malvarrosa Beach and El Saler Beach. Ancient Spanish monuments such as Valencia Cathedral, Casto Historico, and the oceanografic, a modern oceanarium that features over 500 aquatic animals, are worth visiting.
London, England
London itself is not a romantic city. However, couples can choose from many romantic things to do in the city where royalty lives. It is home to several romantic restaurants that serve mouth-watering food with a wide range of cuisines to choose from. While like the other parts of Europe, such as Spain and Greece, are known for its variety of wines, London is known for the famous chocolate and champagne tours. And what better place to indulge in some champagne with Bae other than the London Eye, that offers a picturesque view of the city. To make the experience even memorable and romantic, book a private pod, and enjoy the champagne with your partner in a cozy environment, from the top of the world. If you fancy clubbing, then head to some of the cozy pubs in London and enjoy your favorite drinks while tapping afoot to the vibrant music.
