Here are some of the most romantic places in Europe that you can explore with your special person. 10 incredibly romantic places in Europe that will surprise you with their beauty. Never stop dreaming…

1. Giethoorn

The city of Giethoorn is one of the oldest in the Netherlands, and its history dates back to the Flagellants from the 13th century. Canals built for irrigation and agriculture are everywhere in Giethoorn, giving many of the homes and restaurants waterfront views. Located in National Park Weerribben-Wieden, is an idyllic village in Overijssel where countless thatched farms have been built on small peat islands connected by over 170 small wooden bridges.

Lush greenery, manicured lawns and traditional architecture only increase the beauty of the town. Make the most of your time in Giethoorn by taking a canal boat tour and snapping photos of the many stunning bridges that span the water

2. Cesky Krumlov

Be transported to a medieval fairy tale with a visit to Cesky Krumlov in the Czech Republic. The city itself is split by the waters of the Vltava River.Situated on the banks of the Vltava river, the town was built around a 13th-century castle with Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque elements. It is an outstanding example of a small central European medieval town whose architectural heritage has remained intact thanks to its peaceful evolution over more than five centuries.

Baroque housing straight from the 18th century lines the streets, paving the way to the breathing castle itself. Whether you’re eager to soak in the detailed architecture or natural scenic beauty, Cesky Krumlov has a number of picture-perfect views you will never forget.There are plenty of lively bars and riverside picnic spots – in summer it’s a popular hang-out for backpackers. It can be a magical place in winter, though, when the crowds are gone and the castle is blanketed in snow.

3. Bled

Slovenia may not be the first European country you think of for natural beauty, but it is an underrated destination with some of the most remarkable scenery on the continent. One example is Bled, a small town on the shores of Lake Bled.

The Julian Alps serve as the backdrop for the town, and in the center of the lake itself is a small island topped with a charming white church. Bled truly looks like it has come straight from a romantic fairy tale, and it has to be seen to be believed.Secretly, each of us has a romantic heart. When the time and place are right, it will spread its wings and allow the rays of love to shine through. Treat yourselves to a holiday filled with romance, inspiring moments and the most picturesque views of an enchanting Alpine landscape.

4. Rothenburg ob der Taube

The medieval center of Rothenburg ob der Tauber is one of the most iconic and attractive places in all of Europe. The small German town built its city walls in the 14th century, and much of the architecture in the Old Town is similarly aged.

Seemingly untouched by time, Rothenburg ob der Tauber boasts medieval palaces, administrative buildings and the traditional Bavarian half-timbered homes. Walking tours are the best way to see the ancient walls and as much of the picturesque architecture as possible

Taking pride of place in the centre of Rothenburg ob der Tauber’s Old Town is Marktplatz, a large cobbled square lined with beautifully preserved Medieval buildings.

At the heart sits the Rothenburg Town Hall that dates back to 1250 and features two architectural styles, Gothic and Renaissance.

The 52-metre high Town Hall Tower can be seen from all over town and, if you’re prepared to climb the 220 narrow steps to the top, it offers the most spectacular views over the red rooftops of Rothenburg.

4. Hallstatt

One of Austria’s most beautiful destinations is Hallstatt, located on the banks of the Hallstätter See, or Lake Hallstatt. For thousands of years, people have been drawn to Hallstatt because of its salt mines. Today, however, a major reason to visit is for the scenery.

Mountains jut up directly behind the placid mountain lake, and you can find everything from caves to waterfalls just a short walk from the picturesque, historic city center of Hallstatt.

5.Imerovigli village

The village of Imerovigli, also known as “The balcony to the Aegean”, is built on the highest point of the caldera cliffs, about 300 meters above sea level. It is situated at the north part of the island, 3 kilometers from the capital of Fira. Its position provides a magnificent view of the famous volcano, the sparkling Aegean Sea and the sunset that is out of this world.

The notable attraction of the village is the famous, immense rock called Skaros that lies on the seaward side. It is of paramount importance since it was one of the five fortresses of Santorini and the most significant one. It was once an observation post providing security from pirates. Today one can admire the remains left after the earthquake of 1817 and, of course, a striking view from the top. In Skaros, the symbol of Santorini, you can experience hiking as well.

There are numerous churches and chapels in Imerovigli, among them the prominent church of Panagia Malteza and the chapel of Panagia Theoskepasti, built on the cliff edge in front of Skaros offering a unique panaromic view of the caldera.

6.Brașov, Romania

Brașov is a city located in Transylvania, a region of Romania renowned for its castles, eerily foggy skies and charming little towns and villages.

Although classified as a city, Brașov feels much more like a small town to be discovered on foot, even when climbing to the infamous “Brasov sign” (a rip off of the Hollywood sign – yup, really!) From here you can explore the beautiful Bran Castle (also known as Dracula’s Castle) as well as nearby Peles Castle, said to be the most beautiful Eastern Europe castle

7.Kotor, Montenegro

This is hands down one of the most idyllic settings for a city to be located.

Located in the Balkans, the city of Kotor in Montenegro is situated beside a bay and enjoys a much lighter tourist visitation than nearby Dubrovnik, making it a great little gem to discover off the beaten path!

8.Cinque Terre

The Cinque Terre represent one of the best preserved natural and semi-natural areas of the Mediterranean. Historical and geomorphologic reasons have forbidden excessive housing development and the creation of major roadways (which instead are present inland in the Val di Vara).

Human activity and especially viticulture, have contributed to create a unique landscape in which development of the typical stone walls is so extensive as to equal that of the famous Great Wall of China. (

9.Bruge

Summer or winter, morning or evening, sun or rain…Bruges has the enthralling ability to always make a stunning impression.It should come as no surprise that this continuous to be one the most photographed spots in Europe.

Nicknamed the Venice of the North, Bruges is the perfect place to relax, take boat rides and romantic strolls while taking in the beauty of the city.

Bruges is a marvelous city near the Belgian coast, crisscrossed by a maze of navigable canals winding among fascinating Gothic architecture. Bruges, the capital of West Flanders, is simply fairy-tale-like: the historic center, listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage site, is surrounded by an oval moat that follows the line of the ancient and now vanished medieval fortifications and is a whirlwind of picturesque cobbled lanes that connect enchanting squares dominated by historic churches and ancient buildings with stepped gables. The heart of the town is the market square where the Belfort towers. A little farther on is the magnificent Gothic tadhuis , the Basilica of the Holy Blood Around the Minnerwater, the Lake of Love, stretches a delightful and romantic park that is the gateway to the Beguinage of Bruges.

10.Prague

Prague has been considered as one of the most beautiful cities in the world since Middle Ages. Adjectives such as “golden“, “city of a hundred spires“, “the crown of the world“ were attributed to Prague, which is located right in the heart of Europe.
 
And how to get the city into your heart? Try with us to wander not only in the Historic Centre of Prague that has been on the UNESCO World Heritage List since 1992 and with its 866 hectares is the largest historic city centre on this list in the world, but also in the vibrant cultural metropolis.
Walking through Prague, one can almost feel the medieval spirits leading the way. But there’s something else lurking in the shadows and it’s not always visible to the untrained eye. From major historic sites and tourist attractions to smaller, hidden symbols, Prague is full of magic—wizardry, Harry Potter-style magic—in the form of alchemy. Alchemy, a mixture of plant medicine and chemistry, dominated Prague under Emperor Rudolf II’s rule. It was the medicine of medieval times, fueled by tales of the Philosopher’s Stone—the substance rumored to turn base metals into gold. This fascinating magical history is hiding in plain sight.
