True love knows no bounds, of course, but romance is certainly kindled by the right destination. Strolling hand in hand through Venice; waking up in a decadent Art Deco penthouse in New York; snuggling up, hygge-style in Copenhagen; kissing under the Northern Lights in Lapland. We have so many exciting ideas for romantic holidays. Even a short break away from the norm can do wonders for your relationship: find yourselves at the very top of a remote lighthouse, check into a serious spa together or have breakfast on top of a mountain. Or just indulge in a chic Paris boutique hotel. It’s still hard to find anywhere more romantic.

Practical advice and inspiration to help you prepare for your holiday

When you're short on time, a city break is a great option for a romantic holiday. Bergen, on Norway's southwestern coast, is utterly magical at this time of year. Surrounded by towering mountains and sparkling fjords, the city has a fairy-tale feel any time of year but especially during the winter with its cosy cafes, cobbled streets and twinkling fairy lights. Lisbon too, is a great pick with its foodie markets and low-lit wine bars and Berlin is a firm favourite with its countless winter festivals which you can explore with a mug of glühwein (mulled wine) in hand.

If you really want to get into the winter spirit, nothing beats a romantic winter weekend break to Swedish Lapland which is only a short flight away. With days spent dog-sledding and snow-shoeing and evenings spent chasing the Northern Lights and sharing meals for two beside a crackling fire, romance is all but guaranteed.
And for those among us who spend the winter months pining for summer to return? A European winter sun holiday is just the thing. From sunny Sicily to the balmy beaches of Cyprus, enjoy a romantic winter weekend away without a snowball in sight.
