Paris, Venice, Prague and Vienna; these are all locations that instantly come to mind when thinking of romantic getaways. But there are so many more places around the globe that offer couples exciting, cultural, diverse and romantic opportunities. When travelling to some of the more commonly romantic locations, you often see other couples having exactly the same holiday as you. This is why searching for somewhere slightly off the radar is highly recommended.
Dubrovnik, Croatia
Enjoy this beautiful World Heritage Site with your partner and experience fantastic sunsets, delicious seafood, stunning old Croatian architecture and lively music bars in the evening. Croatia is often ignored as a romantic setting, but with its cheap prices, clear emerald seas and great weather, it is an ideal retreat for couples wanting some romance.
Copenhagen, Denmark
Not one of the first cities in Europe that springs to mind when thinking of a romantic retreat, Copenhagen is in fact home to many cultural activities that are perfect for a couple in love. There are fairytale castles to explore, such as Rosenborg Castle, Frederiksborg Castle and Kronborg Castle. Spend your evenings at the opera or explore the many parks and gardens. Just make sure you don’t watch TV drama The Killing before you go!
The Lake District, England
Often thought of as a destination for pensioners wanting to go bird-watching or walking, the Lake District offers couples so much more. With fine-dining restaurants and real-ale pubs, the Lake District is a gastro haven. Of course, there are the stunning landscapes of lakes, mountains and hills, which are arguably the most beautiful in the United Kingdom. The Lakes also offer the poetry of William Wordsworth, as well as many other artists and authors, and are a great destination for a new couple, whether they met though internet dating or through friends.
Zihuatanejo, Mexico
A small village hidden away on the Pacific coast in the Mexican state of Guerrero, Zihuatanejo is a small arty fishing retreat and the definition of a hidden gem. There is much to do in the town, such as relaxing on the beach, playing golf, fishing, sailing, schmoozing in the restaurants and bars, or looking around the many art galleries. It’s a superb location for established couples looking for something different and unique.
Glasgow, Scotland
Often in Edinburgh’s shadow as a romantic destination, Glasgow is actually a perfect setting for a modern couple looking for a retreat. With the key mixture of rich historical sites and modern cosmopolitan sophistication, Glasgow is a great setting for a romantic trip. Whether you and your partner met through friends or through online dating Glasgow offers many romantic places where you can get to know each other better.
