Montreux, Switzerland

There are a plenty of cute and romantic cities and towns in Switzerland but one of the most romantic places is the little town Montreux. Located just at the shores of Lake Geneva it has million of fantastically romantic restaurants and beautiful atmosphere but one thing that makes the town incredibly romantic, as well as different from other places in Switzerland, is the gorgeous promenade.

It’s very special since there is no other place so beautifully decorated with flowers in different shapes and colours. Strolling along the promenade and having a stunning view of Lake Geneva and the mountains is one of the most romantic things to do. At sunset or sunrise, it’s simply magical and I wouldn’t be surprised to hear that people actually propose right there, at the promenade.

Santorini

Soak yourselves in a hot tub with a view over the caldera drinking one of the wine bottles you brought back from a local winery after a wine tasting excursion. Wander through the cute streets while enjoying the uninterrupted views of the ocean with the one you love. Romantic? You bet!

So you might as well use the chance and abuse that while having a romantic dinner together in a cozy restaurant by the seashore. I don’t know about you, but that sounds more than just perfect to me!

Algarve, Portugal

South of Portugal also has something romantic to offer. If you’re into the most breathtaking coastline in Europe then head to Algarve. The endless tiny hidden beaches and high cliffs will amaze you both! This region is just excellent for a van trip and sunset watching from out of the back of your van parked on top of the cliff or somewhere in the dunes. Beach hunting with a van is super simple and fun way to enjoy the nature freely. In addition, Algarve has a handful of cute little towns, such as Sagres and Tavira and prices are very friendly compared to other destinations.

By all means, Florence must not be skipped when on a romantic trip to Tuscany. It’s simply one of the most romantic and charming cities on Earth. It would be difficult to visit the city where the Renaissance was born without feeling a bit of romance and magic in the air. Florence certainly has it all!

Paris, France

Ha! You probably saw this one coming, did you? But who are we kidding, there’s no romantic list of cities without Paris included! It’s a very popular honeymoon destination and it’s a fact that Paris is the city every couple must visit at least once. It’s a bit of a cliche, that’s true, but the city has really earned its reputation as the city of love. Where else can you live out your teenage romance fantasies if not with the Eiffel Tower in the background?!

The city has plenty of romantic vibes and lovey-dovey atmosphere but apart from that, you can also find tons of museums, restaurants, architectural landmarks and other exciting activities for you both to enjoy. There really are a ton of things to do in Paris!
