Visit Europe Guides - February 2026 Romantic getaways in Europe

What’s truly a romantic trip to Europe? Delighting your love with the most off-the-beaten-path corners and unexpected experiences! The classic elegant dinners in capital cities are iconic for a reason — yet with Valentine’s Day on the radar, low-key romantic escapes that feel personal and unique show greater creativity and initiative! Upgrade to low-key by loving local: seek out lesser-known villages, cozy retreats, and family-run inns, restaurants, wineries, and spas. If high-octane nightlife is your jam, be sure to check out second cities and festivals for unusual and unforgettable venues and music. Whatever tempo suits you and your sweetheart, Europe has romance waiting in every corner.
