ROMANTIC GETAWAYS · FOR TWO
Plan the night you'll both remember.
Gondola serenades in Venice, sunset sails over the Santorini caldera, a candlelit Seine cruise in Paris. Reviews of the most romantic experiences in the world's great cities for couples, so the trip you book is the one you'll talk about for years.
Worth the trip for the romance alone
Three cities made for falling in love.
Some places you visit for the sights. Venice, Santorini and Paris you visit for each other: the gondola down a silent canal, the sunset that stops the whole island, the carriage through the lamplight. These are the trips couples come home still talking about.
Italy
Venice
No city was built more obviously for two. A gondolier eases you off the Grand Canal and into the silent back rii, where the only sound is the oar and, on a serenade ride, an accordion drifting from the boat ahead. Tie it to a candlelit dinner over the water and an evening on the quiet canals, and Venice does the rest. There is nowhere quite like it for a first night away.

Greece
Santorini
The whole island tilts west at dusk. A sunset catamaran carries you out into the flooded caldera, anchoring off the red and white beaches for a swim before dinner is laid out on deck and the sky turns through every colour at once. Back on the cliffs, a private table in Oia waits for the famous last of the light. Few sunsets on earth are this worth planning a trip around.

France
Paris
Paris earns the reputation the easy way and the lovely way. A horse-drawn carriage through the lamplit streets, a three-course dinner cruise gliding under the bridges while the Eiffel Tower breaks into sparkle on the hour, a private photographer to keep the morning you got engaged. The cliche is a cliche because it works, and almost nowhere does it better.

Paris for the dinner cruise, Venice for the gondola, Santorini for the sunset. Pick the city you are headed to together and we will show you the experiences worth booking there.
What kind of night
Three ways to make an evening unforgettable.
Start with the moment you are picturing. Sunset on the water, a candlelit dinner, a slow wander through an old town. Each is a kind of evening the site covers deeply, with the destinations that do it best.
Venice
Drift off the Grand Canal, just you two.
The magic of Venice starts the moment the gondola turns out of the traffic and into the narrow back canals, where the water goes still and the only sounds are the oar and, on a serenade ride, an accordion from the boat ahead. Pair it with a candlelit dinner over the water and the city does the rest.

Watch the caldera catch fire from the water.
A sunset catamaran carries you out into the flooded caldera, anchoring off the red and white beaches for a swim before dinner is laid out on deck and the sky turns through every colour at once. Back on the cliffs, a private table in Oia waits for the famous last of the light, the best seat for the sunset the whole island climbs up to see.

The city that does romance better than anyone.
Paris earns every bit of the reputation. A horse-drawn carriage through the lamplit streets, a three-course dinner cruise gliding under the bridges while the Eiffel Tower breaks into sparkle on the hour, a private photographer to keep the evening you proposed. The cliche is a cliche because it works, and almost nowhere does it better.
See the best Paris experiences →Dubrovnik at golden hour
The old walls go gold from the water.
Dubrovnik is at its most beautiful from a boat at dusk, when the low sun turns the old stone amber and the Adriatic goes glassy. A sunset cruise drifts you past the city walls and out to a quiet cove for a swim, a glass of local wine in hand, with nothing on the schedule but the view.

By the kind of night
How big a moment are you planning?
A quiet Vienna evening on foot. A Santorini sunset out on the caldera. The full Paris grand gesture, carriage and all. Pick the night that sounds like the two of you.
A quiet evening
Vienna, just the two of you.An unhurried walk through the old town as the lamps come on, a coffee house with a slice of Sachertorte, a horse-drawn fiacre past the palaces. The kind of night that asks nothing of you but to slow down together.
Something special
Santorini, the sky on fire.A catamaran out into the caldera as the afternoon turns gold, a swim off the back, dinner served on deck while the sun sinks behind the cliffs. The sunset half the island climbs the rooftops to watch, with the best seat on the water.
The grand gesture
Paris, the whole cliche, beautifully.A private carriage through the lamplit streets, a candlelit cruise along the Seine with the Eiffel Tower sparkling on the hour, a rooftop table for the toast. The night you plan when you mean it.
Mallorca
Take to the air, or the sea, together.
Mallorca saves its most romantic moments for above and around the island. A sunrise hot-air balloon drifting over the Tramuntana while the light comes up, a sailing day along the coast to coves you can only reach by water, a sundowner cruise out of Palma with two glasses and the whole bay turning gold. The island at its most beautiful, and most yours.
