10 Weekend Getaways for Couples In Europe

There’s nothing quite like whisking your sweetheart away for a spontaneous romantic weekend. And Europe is practically dripping with storybook towns and passionate hideaways, each more heart-melting than the next. 

If you and your lover are looking for something a little different (and a lot more special) than Paris, you’re in for a treat. Together, let’s stroll through ten breathtaking European spots where love is not just in the air – it’s in the cobblestones, the sunsets, and every delicious bite of dessert.

Stockholm, Sweden

Stockholm is pure magic for couples who love cozy moments and hand-in-hand strolls through sparkling streets. Built across 14 islands, this city holds the key to endless waterfront views, twinkling cafes, and the kind of charming, candlelit dinners that make you feel like you’re the only two people in the world. There’s also a crispness to the Scandinavian air that seems to make every cuddle even sweeter.

Together, you can wander through Gamla Stan, the storybook Old Town with its colorful buildings and winding alleyways, or take a dreamy boat ride around the archipelago. 

For a truly unforgettable stay, book a room at the Hotel Skeppsholmen, a chic boutique hotel right by the water. And, when hunger strikes, you can snuggle up over some Swedish meatballs and wine at Fem Små Hus, a historic, candle-lit cellar restaurant that feels like a secret hideaway just for two.

Paphos, Cyprus

Paphos is pure, sun-drenched romance. Legend says Aphrodite, the goddess of love herself, was born from the sea foam just offshore. Not a bad spot for a few stolen kisses beneath the moonlight, right? 

With golden beaches, ancient ruins, and fiery sunsets that seem a bit too beautiful to be real, it’s no wonder Paphos has a reputation as a lover’s paradise. All the while, the warm Mediterranean breeze will feel like it’s whispering sweet nothings in your ear. 

Spend your days hand-in-hand, exploring the mesmerizing mosaics at the Archaeological Park, or take a swim at Aphrodite’s Rock, believed to bless couples with everlasting love. 

If you can, try to stay at the elegant Almyra Hotel, a contemporary hideaway with sea views so stunning, you’ll think you’ve wandered into a dream. For dinner, you can dine in delight at 7 St. George’s Tavern, where the mezze is endless, the wine is flowing, and the atmosphere is true romance.

Tallinn, Estonia

Tallinn feels like it was built specifically for lovebirds. With its fairy-tale towers, hidden courtyards, and old-world charm, it’s impossible not to fall a little more in love – with each other and the city itself. 

The medieval Old Town is so romantic; it’s filled with cobblestone streets and pastel-colored houses. You might want to wander up Toompea Hill for sweeping views of the city or simply lose yourselves in the labyrinth of narrow streets. 

For an endlessly romantic escape, stay at the Schlössle Hotel, a five-star boutique hotel that feels like a castle in the sky. And, when you’re ready to toast to your love, secure a table at Rataskaevu 16 – a cozy restaurant full of soul.

Boka Bay, Montenegro

If you dream of a place where the mountains kiss the sea and every corner looks like a painting, Boka Bay is calling your name. This sweet little corner of Montenegro is wildly romantic, with its serene blue waters, tiny stone villages, and slow, dreamy pace that makes you want to linger over every embrace.

Spend the day sailing across the bay, visiting ancient churches and sun-soaked beaches, or wandering through the enchanting old town of Kotor; every alleyway seems like it was designed for stolen kisses. 

This may stretch your budget a bit, but if you can secure a stay at the Heritage Grand Perast, housed in a former palace right by the water, you’ll be the prince and princess for a few nights. To top it all off, plan for a candlelit dinner at Conte Nautilus. We can guarantee the sea breezes and coastal views will leave you swooning.
