Finding Romance in Europe - Top European Romantic Getaways
By Isabella Olsen

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.

Strolling through Prague

Going for a quiet stroll is one of the most romantic activities and one best enjoyed under the dim light of the stars and the old-fashioned street lamps in the winding cobblestone streets of Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic. Enjoy the scenic views while walking hand in hand on uncrowded lanes where horse-drawn carriages pass by at their own leisurely pace. You can always hail one if you get tired so you can snuggle up the rest of the way to your hotel or rent a rowboat on the Vltava river to add even more magic to your evening.

There are other cities in Europe that are perfect for a romantic evening stroll, including Bruges in Belgium and Tallinn in Estonia. It goes without saying that the cities of Paris and Rome are worth considering as destinations for European romantic getaways, too.

Staying at the Hotel de la Cite

After sightseeing, you'll want to spend the night in a romantic hotel, like the Hotel de la Cite in Carcassonne, France. This hotel is actually a well-preserved medieval castle located in a citadel between two historical landmarks, which translates to spiral staircases, stained-glass windows, stone walls and formal gardens. The luxury and hospitality offered by the hotel is also befitting of royalty while the 40 guest rooms and 21 suites are all individually furnished with a combination of Renaissance style and the latest amenities.

Dining at Le Manoir

Just as the best dates consist of a romantic dinner for two, there is no doubt that the excellent cuisine of Europe contributes to memorable European romantic getaways. One of the places where you can sample this is at the Le Manoir in the village of Oxfordshire, a two Michelin-starred restaurant which offers meticulously prepared dishes spiced with fresh herbs grown in its own two-acre backyard and excellent wines coupled with a charming ambience of relaxing countryside views and candlelight. Reserving a table weeks in advance is recommended.

Lounging on the Sands of Papa Cove

Europe also has many wonderful beaches and coves for those who love soaking up the sun and the sand, such as the Papa Cove on the eastern shore of the Ios island in Greece. This cove offers warm golden sands, calm crystal waters that are perfect for swimming and most importantly, walls of rock that provide a sanctuary for lovers, shielding them from the noise and the crowds of nearby beaches.

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.
