Love on the Move: Top 5 European Romantic City Breaks for 2026

Forget the standard box of chocolates. If you want to truly impress your favourite person this year, nothing beats the thrill of a surprise city break. With Valentine’s Day landing on a Saturday in 2026, it is the perfect excuse for a long, amorous weekend.

From the legendary "City of Love" to hidden gems in the East, here are our top five picks for a romantic European getaway you can book with us today.

Paris, France: The Eternal Favourite

It’s a cliché for a reason. There is an unmistakable magic in the Parisian air during February. Whether it's the glow of the street lamps on the Seine or the cozy warmth of a Montmartre bistro, Paris never fails to deliver.

• The Romantic Hero Experience: Imagine booking a private vintage sidecar tour. Your driver whisks you through the backstreets of Le Marais, ending at a "secret" courtyard where a table is set for two.

• The Vibe: Sophisticated, timeless, and unapologetically poetic.

• Book with us for: A complimentary bottle of French Champagne and macarons waiting in your room.

Florence, Italy: For Art and Soul

If your relationship is a masterpiece, Florence is the setting. This Tuscan jewel is a walkable museum of Renaissance art, terracotta rooftops, and some of the world’s best wine.

• The Romantic Hero Experience: Beyond the museums, we can arrange a private sunset "Barchino" (traditional boat) ride on the Arno River. Sip Chianti as you glide under the Ponte Vecchio, seeing the city’s golden architecture from a perspective few tourists ever witness.

• The Vibe: Warm, rustic-luxe, and deeply cultural.

• Book with us for: A curated "Wine & Wonders" guide to the city’s best hidden enotecas and artisan leather workshops.

Prague, Czech Republic: A Winter Fairytale

Prague feels like it was designed specifically for romance. With its gothic spires and winding cobblestone alleys, it’s particularly atmospheric in the crisp February air.

• The Romantic Hero Experience: Spend an evening at the Mozart Dinner in the Boccaccio Ballroom. You’ll enjoy a three-course candlelit dinner while opera singers perform in a stunning neo-Baroque setting. It’s like stepping back into the 18th century.

• The Vibe: Storybook charm, dramatic architecture, and cozy subterranean bars.

• Book with us for: Guaranteed late check-out (2:00 PM) so you can enjoy a lazy Valentine’s breakfast in bed.

Seville, Spain: Sun-Drenched Passion

For couples who want to trade the winter chill for a bit of warmth, Seville is the "Passion Capital" of Spain. It’s vibrant, colourful, and smells of orange blossoms even in the early spring.

• The Romantic Hero Experience: Visit the Aire de Sevilla, ancient Arab baths located in a restored 16th-century palace. Relax in the rooftop salt pool with a view of the Giralda cathedral, followed by a couple’s massage under the stars.

• The Vibe: Fiery, colourful, and effortlessly sexy.

• Book with us for: Preferred seating at one of the city’s top-rated rooftop tapas bars for a sunset dinner.

Budapest, Hungary: The Spa Retreat

Known as the "Paris of the East," Budapest offers a unique blend of grand architecture and thermal relaxation. It’s the perfect choice for a couple that wants to mix sightseeing with serious pampering.

• The Romantic Hero Experience: Book a private cabin at the Széchenyi Baths, then move on to a late-night dinner cruise on the Danube. Watching the Hungarian Parliament Building illuminate in gold while a live string quartet plays is the definition of "Grand Romance."

• The Vibe: Opulent, restorative, and grand.

• Book with us for: Pre-booked fast-track entry to the thermal baths to maximise your relaxation time.
