Although all destinations are divine if you get along well with your partner and you like to travel together, the truth is that on our list of romantic getawaysWe decided to privilege some destinations over others, and thus choose the best cities to travel as a couple.
You're sure to know and agree with some of these cities, perhaps you wouldn't think of putting others on the list, but find out why we did choose these destinations, the most romantic.
Paris France
On our list of romantic getaways You can not miss ParisThe French capital has earned a reputation for being the most romantic city of all, and whether because of its fame or because it has the wherewithal to back it up, it's still in the running.
La architecture from Paris, its squares, streets and boulevards They invite you to stroll hand in hand, to get lost riding a bike, shopping, or looking for a café where you can sit and watch the city go by. The Latin Quarter, Sacre Cour, the Eiffel Tower or the Champs-Élysées, just to name the most touristy of all…
Paris is not enough to be visited just once, but for a honeymoon, a declaration trip or a simple weekend to be with your partner, it is always a must. It is a city that does not disappoint.
Rome, Italy
My second favorite city in Europe. Rome is Rome, and although it may be dirtier, noisier or not as elegant as Paris, I think it is one of the most interesting cities.
I've visited a couple of times, always with my partner, and we get tired of walking, sitting down to drink a beer, eating ice cream in the summer, visiting some ruins, going into a museum, or wandering aimlessly, surprising ourselves with its little houses, its streets, its squares, or hidden nooks.
A sandwich, a pizza out there, that one nostalgic air The experience of walking through an ancient city is something wonderful to share. And the Roman nightlife is wonderful.
Florence, Italy
But hey, for the list of Romantic getaways: The best cities for couplesItaly is ideal. What other city offers so many like this?
If I said Rome is my second favorite city in Europe, it's because Florence is my first. My first trip there, as a newlywed, lasted 12 days. We stayed across from the Central Market, in a charming, renovated apartment rented on Airbnb, and had a wonderful time.
You walk everywhere, you have a thousand bars and restaurants for a quiet dinner and a drink good wine, The market itself is a great place for that, it's a medieval city and you see it every moment, you can rent a bike and reach places that are impossible on foot, there are museums...
A beautiful and very romantic walk is walk through the Boboli Gardens, behind the Pitti Palace. It's more romantic than entering the palace and wandering through its countless rooms.
Bruges, Belgium
This city offers us a lot medieval charm: cobblestone streets, stone buildings, cityscapes that look like something out of a fairy tale, so many canals.
Bruges is ideal for couples who don't want fanfare, who are happy with the little things and simple moments. Bruges is Heritage since 2000, and the truth is that its romantic charm grows as the sun sets and the lights come on.
So, the best way to enjoy everything as a couple is hand in hand and on foot, to visit the city market, its beautiful square with its gothic town hall, the Huidenvettersplein, the little square of artists and cafes, or Rosary Quay, for the best photos, the Minnewaterpark with its paths that end at the Lovers' Lake with its bridge.
And of course, since it is a canals city You can explore some of them on a half-hour boat ride from Rozenhoedkaii or Nieuwstraat. Or you know what? Also a carriage ride from the market square.
And if you think that chocolate is an aphrodisiac food, well there is nothing like it. Belgian chocolateTo round off the final day: dinner at the tavern of a 17th-century hotel with a terrace overlooking a canal.
Venice Italy
Italy returns to our list. No one can think of a romantic city without Venice appearing.
Un gondola ride It seems like the best thing to do, and it's true. If you're traveling as a couple, a stroll along the city's canals at sunset is highly recommended. Expensive, though.
If there is love but no money, then the city offers other things: walk across bridges, the Rialto Bridge which has great views, for example, of the Grand Canal at sunset, and many cafes and restaurants near.
You can also climb the Bell Tower of San Marcos, above the square of the same name, a historic city bell tower, almost 99 meters high, originally built in the XNUMXth century. Dusk is once again the best time, when the late golden light bathes the waters and the city's rooftops.
If the couple in question likes the good food They won't object to anything about Italian cuisine. But beyond pizzas and pasta, here in Venice the couple can go bar hopping and tasting cicchettis, the classic appetizers served in bars, something like Spanish tapas: fish and seafood, polenta with meat, cheeses...
And if the couple wants to take a souvenir from Venice, it seems to me that making a excursion to Murano Island It's worth it. It's an island dedicated to glassworking and you're sure to want to take something home with you as a souvenir. Or go to the Burano Island and do the same with local lace.
Lisbon, Portugal
It seems that the capital of Portugal is super romantic and that romance comes hand in hand with nostalgia.
Lisbon is a ancient city, with narrow streets and fairy-tale architecture. The best way to see the city hand in hand with your partner is to do so from one of the many viewpoints what's wrong with it.
For example, the Fifth floor, in a private house, or the Mirador das Portas do Sol, in the Alfama neighborhood, or that of Saint Luzia, overlooking the Tagus River.
Having spoken of Alfama, is an ideal destination for a leisurely stroll, hand in hand, and taking photos, with its medieval atmosphere and softly colored buildings. The sounds of Lisbon are heard more intensely here.
You can also make a a cruise on the Tagus when the sun goes down, or stay in a bar while the sun goes down having a drink, contemplating the city about to fall asleep. And after the drinks, straight to a fado house.
