If you could pick anywhere in Europe for a romantic break where would you go?

I fancy Croatia area but flights don't make it easy. I definitely want there to be water (sea or river) but am curious as to mn ideas as I am so often inspired this way!

Croatia for the weekend isn't easy.

Venice for me every time. It's so beautiful and romantic and the food is great and you can get way from tourists.

Berlin was fab if you like history and bars, it's not pretty but it's bloody interesting.

Seville, Valencia, Malaga and Granada, again great food and manageable size so you don't get knackered walking about trying to see everything.

Ma did and Lisbon are on my to do list.

Madrid is my favourite destination - have been with DH about 5 times now.

It's great for wandering aimlessly, finding small bars to drink and eat tapas, walking in the park/s and just sitting and people watching.

i love it. Flights are plentiful from most airports and public transport to nearby towns worth seeing is easy to access too.

Agree that Croatia is wonderful - but not so easy to schedule flights for a weekend.

Copenhagen or Aarhus. They are both absolutely beautiful.

Vienna, beautiful city, lots to see and do, fab food, great hotels and restaurants.

Venice, Lisbon, Nice

Ljubljana is utterly beautiful but doesn't have the sea, if that's a prerequisite
Trogir just north of Split is lovely if you can't find decent flights to Dubrovnik
Madrid is also a great choice
But I think I would go for Sardinia. Flight isn't long, most beautiful beaches and hotels and some lovely ruins and sites.

Taormina in Sicily. Or Capri near sorrento.

Venice

Rome, my favourite place in the world

Barcelona or Positano on the Amalfi coast. Had great weekends in both. Beautiful scenery. Positano more relaxing. Barcelona more of a city break.

Rome. Also my favourite place Swallowed

Bruges! You can drive there and it's gorgeous. Loads to do and some great restaurants. And the 'lake of love' to tuck your water and romance boxes

Tick*

Iceland, would love to go.

Isn't Duborvnik possible for a weekend? It's lovely there. You can fly from Gatwick, Stanstead, Bristol, Edinburgh, Luton, and that's just with Easyjet.

Or Rome.

*Dubrovnik

Brugge, it's a fairy tale of a place we loved it.

I'd go north, Norway or Sweden, possibly Bergen or Gothenburg.

Thanks some fantastic suggestions here. I will go trough them with dh. we plan to go in September. We hope to feel at least a little bit of sunshine warmth on our skin! We have been debating a few of these ideas already...

Flights to Dubrovnik seem to be just in the mornings willconcern which means staying two extra days or cutting it short.

I went to Madrid at the end of September last year OP - and the weather was amazing.

Really topped up our summer tans.

Rome. Without a doubt

Venice, Rome or Paris are all romantic

Barcelona!

Paris, by train. Nothing romantic about airports.
