The Most Romantic Places in Europe

This is especially true of small European towns and world-famous nature parks, to which numerous tour operators in St. Petersburg and other cities offer exciting tours. Therefore, it is worth highlighting three of the most beautiful European places for dates or a romantic trip.

Of course, the most famous place of European romance is Paris. The stereotype of Paris as a romantic place is fully justified. Moreover, Paris is not only the Eiffel Tower with the Place de la Concorde and its numerous monuments. It is also the Montparnasse skyscraper, which chaotically fits into the city's image and is taller than the Eiffel Tower, and the La Défense business district outside the city—the Parisian Manhattan. And also many parks (Tuileries, Luxembourg Garden, Versailles), countless cafes on every corner, and old houses everywhere.

However, let us recall a truism: a declaration of love on the Eiffel Tower above the small houses of the French capital is unmatched in its charm.

London is the home of the prim Englishman. The Englishman dislikes London as much as the Frenchman adores Paris and strives to move there. The Englishman's ideal is the countryside with an endless sense of freedom. But London is not as gloomy as it seems. There is a certain romance in the aristocratic West End, but the best place for dates is the London Eye—a Ferris wheel. This wonder is located in Lambeth, opposite the Palace of Westminster.

Each cabin is adapted as a mini-restaurant. In addition to two guests, the third is a waiter. He sets the table and serves strawberries, chocolate, champagne, and much more. Beer is not so appropriate here, because the best place for beer parties is pubs, of which there are hundreds, if not thousands, in central London alone. That's it, a dizzying date on the British Isles is guaranteed!

Well, the third option is so far from London and Paris that it is partly a completely different civilization. Near Crete is the island of Santorini. Unlike the two previously mentioned megacities, there is no such hustle and bustle here: it is quiet, no one is in a hurry. Once upon a time, the mountains on the island were volcanoes, but after a powerful eruption, part of the island shared the fate of Atlantis. And the part that remained is Santorini.

White houses and churches contrast sharply with the blue sky, blue sea, and black volcanic soil. The romantic charm of Greece is best sought here, rather than in the center of Athens with its constant rallies, hustle, and traffic jams. After all, it is on Santorini that you can find yourself on cloud nine of happiness.
