Couples Short Breaks

They say all good things in life are best as a shared experience, and the joys of travel perfectly illustrate this. Romantic city breaks for two will provide much needed respite from the trials of daily life. A change of scenery and pace of life is just what the doctor ordered and there are abundant choices for that perfect escape. Couples short breaks are synonymous with dreamy gondola rides in Venice, romantic riverfront bistros in Paris or the inspiring sights of ancient Rome. Cities such as happening Barcelona, Milan, Berlin and Amsterdam all offer that compelling mix of eye catching romantic architecture, a fascinating cultural heritage and wild nightlife to boot.

 

For couples with a taste of the good life and simply must-have stylish comforts, glamorous Nice and Cannes are hard to beat while super cool Miami and urbane Cape Town have enticing beaches and tropical sunshine all year round. Indulge a loved one on a couple’s short break in blissful Budapest, Europe’s glamorous spa capital and one of the most visually stunning cities on the continent. Explore and be inspired by fascinating history in the UNESCO city of Split, the misty canals of medieval Bruges, Prague, St Petersburg and Tallinn. For genuine romance and atmosphere, few places can compare to Italy's historic cities. Evergreen Pisa, Florence and Verona exude a timeless charm, while hip Milan, Palermo or eccentric Naples are unmissable for their distinctive local flavour.

 

Europe’s smaller cities like Bergerac, sunny Almeria or Perpignan are the ultimate escape for long, lazy weekends. The slow pace of life and sleepy charm on these couple’s short breaks are sure to ignite a flame or two of passion. For couples with a cultural bent, elegant Vienna or Salzburg are pretty much unbeatable for delicious highbrow opera and classical music where you can also feed your addiction for the finer things in life.
