The French city famed for its picturesque locations and monumental structures is known as the most romantic city in the world. A favourite among couples, Paris is on the list of places to visit with your lover for many people. The Eiffel Tower, that is lit at night to literally sparkle, the cozy bistros and roadside cafes to sit and chat make up for a magical experience. Celine and Jesse from Before Sunset (2004) rekindled their feelings for each other on the streets of Paris and we all covet the pair.

Budapest, Hungary

The Hungarian city is one of the most romantic ones across the globe. The beautiful Buda Castle and the magnificent Matthias Church make this destination a must-visit for a couple seeking togetherness. Climb Fisherman Bastion for a spectacular view of the entire city or experience fine dining on the River Danube. The Hungarian capital has emerged as one of the most sought after holiday destination, but somehow amidst all its tourism it has managed to retain its charm.

Venice, Italy

Europe trip hacks The enchantment of Venice lies as much in its canals as in the narrow alleys.

This island city in the Adriatic sea is world-famous for its captivating views and exquisite setting. Take a gondola ride down one of the picturesque canals and build memories for a lifetime. Known as the city of romance, it radiates a unique charm with canals instead of roads, bridges, colorful glass-art, and splendid history. A Venetian Affair (2003), is a historical romance novel set in the 18th century, truly conveys the romantic aspects of Venice. However, for most Indians, this city finds its roots in our memories through music. The song Do lafzon ki hai, sung by Asha Bhosle and picturized Amitabh Bachchan and Zeenat Aman (The Great Gambler) still remains one of the most popular love songs in our country. That song has immortalised Venice for Indians as one of the most romantic destinations.
