Urban jungles, concrete playgrounds – there’s a reason why we talk about cities like they’re ripe for exploration. It’s because they are.

Even the well-trodden streets of famous cities can feel novel on your first visit, making it easy to rediscover the romance with your partner as you experience somewhere new together.

For romance, it’s hard to look past Paris. After all, the City of Love is widely regarded as one of the most romantic couples holidays destinations in the world.

But the buck doesn’t stop with the French capital. The whole country just seems made for couples holidays. Whether it’s long days lounging at Cannes’ beach, or even longer days sampling the wine in Bordeaux, there’s plenty of romantic choices for couples.

Elsewhere in Europe, try Belgium’s fairy-tale town of Bruges for an easy and cheap weekend couples break, or visit Venice in the wintertime, when a romantic atmosphere descends over the suddenly sleepy Italian city.

What we’re getting at is that all the best city breaks for couples tend to combine vibrant culture, exciting streetscapes and delicious local cuisine with affordable prices and convenient, weekend travel times. With that in mind, where’s next on your list?

You don’t have to head abroad to wow your other half when the UK is at your fingertips. As locals, we may be quick to dismiss it, but the it is actually full of unlikely romantic destinations that are ideal for a quiet weekend away.

Whisk away your partner to the countryside for a blissful escape. Stunning year-round, the Cotswolds are an obvious choice to fan the flames of love. The Lake District in England, central Scotland and the highlands as well as pretty North Wales… the list of cheap destinations for couples goes on.

If cities are more your thing, why not take a weekend jaunt to medieval Edinburgh, with its romantic cobblestoned streets and historic old town, or to the picturesque university town of Oxford – so much more than a student destination? For lively nightlife, check out Manchester, or Liverpool, while London, one of the world’s great cities for art, food and entertainment, has the lot.

When it comes to holidaying in the UK as a couple, it’s also worth considering additional places to go for the day. Add an extra day or two to your weekend break and take a trip to a neighbouring town or hire a car and journey into the mountains for an unforgettably romantic couple’s holiday. The possibilities are endless.
