Valentine’s
Day, the perfect time for a romantic getaway. Over the past three years, 60% of
reviews for TUI Musement tours and activities in February have come from
couples, underscoring the significance of this time for romantic tourism. To
inspire couples seeking unique and enchanting getaways, TUI Musement has
unveiled the top 10 European cities for activities, as rated by couples. The
list offers surprises alongside classic favourites, showcasing 10 destinations
to enjoy unique experiences, such as a kiss with a view, a sunset cruise, or
the chance to relax in a lagoon’s turquoise waters.
Turin:
The Piedmontese capital tops the list. From panoramic views atop the Mole
Antonelliana to a fairytale visit to the Residences of the Royal House of
Savoy, Turin offers ideal locations to share a romantic moment. Recommended
Romantic Experience: Visit the Mole Antonelliana
Berlin:
A sunset cruise along the Spree River with the city illuminated as a backdrop,
or breathtaking views from 150 meters high in the Welt-Balloon – just two of
many unique experiences for an unforgettable date in the German capital.
Meanwhile, the gardens of Charlottenburg Palace provide the perfect setting for
a declaration of love. Recommended Romantic Experience: Riding the Welt-Balloon
Amsterdam: Known for its picturesque canals and rich
history, Amsterdam offers couples unique bonding experiences, such as a
workshop at Royal Coster Diamonds, the world’s oldest diamond polishing
business, to create bespoke engagement rings. Tandem bike rides and canal
cruises add a playful touch to this romantic destination. Recommended
Romantic Experience: Engagement Ring Workshop at Royal Coster Diamonds
Milan:
Art lovers can admire one of the most romantic artworks in history, The Kiss by
Francesco Hayez, at the Pinacoteca di Brera, stroll through the elegant
courtyards of Sforza Castle, or take in breathtaking views from the terraces of
the Duomo. Recommended Romantic Experience: Visit the Duomo’s Terraces
Rome:
From tranquil boat rides in Villa Borghese Park, to sunset views at the Orange
Garden, or exploring the city under the moonlight, Rome sets the stage for
romantic moments. And, according to tradition, anyone wishing to marry should
not leave The Eternal City without throwing three coins into Trevi Fountain.
Recommended Romantic Experience: Rome by moonlight
Barcelona: The Catalan capital delights with its mix of
culture and adventure. Couples can enjoy the audiovisual magic of “La Pedrera
Night Experience”, or soar above Montserrat Mountain during a hot air balloon
ride. For a slightly different experience, the Erotic Museum is a cheeky
alternative. Recommended Romantic Experience: La Pedrera Night Experience
London: Romance is in the air in London, from a ride on the
iconic London Eye, to serene strolls through Little Venice and Kensington
Gardens. Notting Hill, with its charming streets and cinematic history, also
offers a quintessential romantic escape. Recommended Romantic Experience: Ride the London Eye
Reykjavik: Iceland's stunning landscapes provide the
perfect backdrop for adventurous couples, who can chase the northern lights,
explore the heart of Langjökull glacier, and marvel at the natural wonders
of the Golden Circle. Meanwhile, a relaxing soak in the turquoise waters of the
Blue Lagoon remains a favorite among couples. Recommended Romantic
Experience: Relaxing at the Blue Lagoon
Paris:
The “City of Love” is a timeless destination. A dinner cruise on the Seine,
wandering Montmartre’s romantic streets, or ascending the Eiffel Tower are
equally unforgettable romantic moments. For a culinary twist, couples can take
part in a pastry workshop with a French Master Baker. Recommended Romantic
Experience: Bakery workshop in Paris
Venice:
Meandering through the city on a gondola is widely considered the ultimate
romantic activity, but visitors can follow in the footsteps of Casanova to
explore Venice, or a enjoy more exclusive experience during a candlelit dinner
aboard a Venetian galleon as it sails through the calm waters of the lagoon.
Recommended Romantic Experience: Gondola tour
