Most Romantic Places in Europe<\/h2>\n

London<\/h3>\n

Submitted by David Angel<\/em>, Delve Into Europe<\/p>\n

London is one of the most romantic cities in Europe, indeed the world. It\u2019s a vast city with as much to see as many countries and plenty of romantic things to do.<\/p>\n

A great place to start is with a walk along the Thames Path. The short walk between Lambeth Bridge, opposite the Houses of Parliament, and Westminster Bridge. It\u2019s only a short distance further to the London Eye, which has superb views over the city, or continue to Waterloo Bridge, where the winter sunsets are sensational. A little further along the Thames Path, the Oxo Tower Bar, has an outstanding view across the river to St Paul\u2019s Cathedral.<\/p>\n

Picturesque views like this certainly help to make this one of the most romantic locations in the world!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The suburb of Chelsea is another lovely romantic London spot. The busy King\u2019s Road has many cafes where one can watch the world go by, and some gorgeous streets with brightly painted houses a short walk away. Cheyne Walk is one of the most beautiful streets in London, where everyone from King Henry VIII to three of the Rolling Stones has lived.<\/p>\n

The houses are among the grandest in London<\/a>, and full of blue plaques commemorating the famous names who resided there. The Albert Bridge, across the street from there, is the most beautiful in London. It looks at its best at night, with its twinkling lights reflected in the Thames.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s also worth planning a London afternoon tea in advance \u2013 some of the best hotels require reservations. The likes of the Savoy, the Ritz and Claridge\u2019s put on an amazing spread with finger sandwiches and cakes. It\u2019s a classic London tradition, not to be missed.<\/p>\n

Kiev<\/h3>\n

Contributed by Suzanne,<\/em> Meandering Wild<\/p>\n

Kyiv (or Kiev as the direct transliteration from Russian) is the capital city of Ukraine, a large country in Eastern Europe.   The city is small enough to walk around in a few days and is full of history.  The river Dnieper runs through the centre of the city which is downstream from Chernobyl and the abandoned city of Pripyat. <\/p>\n

The whole city is energized and developing and has a modern vibe with a hint to its past with romantic corners and beautiful architecture.<\/p>\n

One of the best ways to explore the city is to take the funicular railway from the main area of the city to St Michael\u2019s Golden-Domed Monastery.  This lives up to its name with golden domes against a vivid blue building.  In the small park between the railway and the monastery you will find red squirrels racing around and looking for attention, a good place to pause before setting off.<\/p>\n

It is just a short walk to the beautiful UNESCO World Heritage Site of  St Sophia\u2019s Cathedral with its green and golden domes and the nearby vivid green and dominating St Andrew\u2019s Church.  From the church grounds, there are panoramic views across the whole city allowing you to see how many domed churches there are across the skyline.<\/p>\n

From St Andrews Church, Vozdvyzhens\u2019ka Street is a gentle wander down a cobbled street with cafes and restaurants and small street vendors.  A perfect place to spend time with the one you love. <\/p>\n

Hotel Staro is a decadent location to stay in the quieter end of the city.  It is surrounded by small galleries and little cafes.  The rooms are ornate with high ceilings and heavy furniture and the breakfasts are good.<\/p>\n

This city can be visited year-round although spring is the best.  The winters are cold and harsh and the summers can be very warm.<\/p>\n

Sibiu<\/h3>\n

Submitted by Corina Preda<\/em>, Another Milestone<\/p>\n

When you want to choose a destination for a romantic escape with your better half, Romania is not the first country you think of. But the truth is that Romania has medieval cities that seem excellent sceneries for a romantic getaway. And one of these cities is Sibiu.<\/p>\n

Located at the border of Transylvania, in the heart of Romania, the city is 300 kilometers away from Bucharest. The charm of Sibiu is given by its cobblestone streets, colorful, old buildings and intimate caffes. If you plan a romantic dinner, you can choose one of the modern restaurants with delicious International and Romanian dishes.  And for a romantic stay, try The Council hotel.<\/p>\n

Some of the most romantic locations in the world are those that are a little moody, right?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

On a long walk in the city centre you will discover interesting places to visit. One of the most romantic spots in Sibiu is the Stairs passage. Part of the old fortification system of the city, the Stairs passage has an amazing glow during sunset, especially in summer. After walking through this passage and crossing the Huet piazza, another place for couples will be revealed in front of you: Liars\u2019 Bridge. This important attraction in Sibiu took its name from the lovers that swear eternal love on it. Many of these vows are broken and the bridge became a symbol of them.<\/p>\n

Sibiu has other interesting attractions<\/a> for couples and not only, so next time when you choose your romantic place, don\u2019t forget about it!<\/p>\n

Lisbon<\/h3>\n

Submitted by Cindy Baker<\/em>, Travel Bliss Now<\/a><\/p>\n

Lisbon seems as though it was designed to be one of the most romantic cities in Europe and perhaps one of the top honeymoon destinations as well. <\/p>\n

Built on seven hills, Lisbon is a city of dreamy miradouros or viewpoints.  Start with the panoramic view from the top of the Elevador de Santa Justa, the city\u2019s wrought-iron iron vertical street lift.  Stroll up to the hilltop Miradouro de Santa Luzia for a picnic under a bougainvillea-draped trellis overlooking the Tagus River and Alfama, Lisbon\u2019s oldest neighborhood.<\/p>\n

\"Aerial
The best romantic getaway spots in the world have views that take your breath away!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

From there, wander hand-in-hand through the twisting, cobblestone streets as you spot colorful tiles and street art.  Above Alfama, on the highest hill in the city, visit S\u00e3o Jorge Castle and savour a sunset glass of wine from the mobile kiosks known as \u201cWine with a View\u201d. <\/p>\n

Snuggle up at the boutique hotel, the Memmo Alfama, which has cozy rooms facing the river and a rooftop terrace with city views that will make you melt.  Lisbon is a year-round destination, but the best time of year to enjoy that terrace is spring or fall to avoid the summer heat and festival crowds.<\/p>\n

Tbilisi<\/h3>\n

Contributed by Margherita Ragg<\/em>, The Crowded Planet<\/p>\n

Up until about a decade ago, Tbilisi was a true hidden secret, as flight connections to the rest of Europe were not so good. Now, low-cost flights have reached Tbilisi, but you’ll still find far fewer tourists compared to other European capitals – adding to the city’s wonderful romantic atmosphere. <\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Tbilisi<\/a> offers plenty of romantic places and things to do for couples<\/a>. The Old Town is impossibly beautiful, with narrow streets opening onto colourful houses, cats wandering around and courtyards with plants and flowers. You can wander around at your own leisure, or climb to Narikala Fortress overlooking the Old Town and find a secluded bench to admire the view with your loved one.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Tbilisi is also famous for its sulphur baths – in the Abanotubani district, right next to the Old Town, you can find several bathhouses where you can enjoy baths and treatments 24\/7. Couples should take note that it’s possible to book a private room, to enjoy your bath in complete privacy. <\/div>\n

So much romance to be had in this gorgeous place.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Georgian cuisine is also really delicious, and there are many romantic restaurants in Tbilisi where you can enjoy tasty specialties like khachapuri (cheesy bread) and khinkhali (giant steamed dumplings) – for atmosphere, it’s hard to beat Old City Wall, located (yes, you guessed it) into the city walls. <\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Rooms Hotel is a great option for couples, with bathtubs in many rooms and an inner garden for a romantic walk. It’s in the Vera district of Tbilisi, about 20 minutes away from the Old Town but with plenty of atmosphere!<\/div>\n

Florence<\/h3>\n
With so much history and beauty, Florence<\/a> is a very romantic city and a great destination for couples. One of the most romantic things to do in Florence is to head to Piazzale Michelangelo and enjoy what’s considered by many the most beautiful panoramic view of the city. Some other places in Florence with amazing views are the dome of Santa Maria del Fiore cathedral and Giotto bell tower.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Some other fantastic things to do in Florence for couples are a walk along the Arno river, a stroll in the Oltrarno quarter to admire the historic buildings that have been the theater of forbidden love stories and myths and a romantic dinner.<\/div>\n
