Europe is home to some of the most romantic backdrops in the world. From the beautiful avenues of Champs Elysees in Paris to the charming canals that labyrinth through Venice, the continent is full of fairytale destinations. For an under-the-radar escape, why not jet off to Prague, aka The City of a Hundred Spires? Cross the River Vltava by the iconic Charles Bridge, or walk hand-in-hand up to the world’s largest ancient castle. And then there’s Rome, the city of romance. Toss three coins into Trevi Fountain with your partner - one coin ensures a speedy return to Rome, the second, romance, and the third, marriage.

Ah, Paris! Nothing quite ignites the joie de vivre like a weekend break to the ‘City of Light’. Eat your way through macarons and pralines on a chocolate and pastry tour, or climb Montmartre hill to soak up the views from the Sacre Coeur.
