The most romantic cities in the world

This Valentine’s Day, we’re delving into some of the most romantic cities in the world. Paris is constantly coined the city of love for its picturesque Tour Eiffel and River Seine, alongside Venice for its iconic waterways, but where else can you visit for a sprinkling of amore

We’re unearthing some of the best places for couples to vacation including the mesmerising locations you're bound to fall for on our tours! 

Verona

Verona

Abundant with romantic hotspots and architectural marvels, Verona is renowned for being an intimate location for couples. This 2000-year-old Italian town where Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet was set just oozes magic. Opt to visit one of the most romantic spots on earth at Romeo and Juliet’s courtyard. This makes for a truly unforgettable experience for that idyllic picture moment. Sight-seers enter the famed courtyard to view the balcony and rub the right breast of a bronze statue of Juliet as part of a ritual said to bring luck in love. How much more romantic can you get than venturing to the setting of the most famous love story of all time? 

 

Rome

Rome

Featuring iconic landmarks, hypnotising historic views and traditional trattorias, Rome is a fairytale location for those once-in-a-lifetime memories. Aside from spending time gazing at Rome’s ancient marvels, there are many lesser-known activities to uncover in this atmospheric capital city. The luscious Pincio Gardens offer an excellent setting for exploring; they’re abundant with gorgeous cafes and there is also the opportunity to bike, carriage or even segway from this idyllic spot. You will also find a scenic romantic lookout at Pincio Terrace, offering views of the historic centre and the enchanting Vatican from above. Our delightful Italian Indulgence tour begins in Rome, providing the perfect setting for you and your partner to explore before discovering more hidden gems with your insightful Tour Leader.

Austria’s capital city is brimming with artistic and architectural masterpieces. It’s possible to discover a multitude of classic art museums which double up as palaces, making for a splendid sightseeing activity with your significant other. The quintessential Old Town has been granted World Heritage Status by UNESCO. A romantic wander along these streets with a Viennese Apfelstrudel in hand presents a dazzling evening activity. A wonderful time to visit this city is over Christmas for a glimpse of Vienna’s awe-inspiring Christmas Markets which bring the city to life. As you start to immerse yourself in Austria’s culture and beauty it can be difficult to stop, so why not delve further into the magic of not only Austria but Slovenia, Croatia and Hungary on our enchanting Austro-Hungarian tour?
