Romantic Europe Trips & Honeymoon Packages

What our customers ask about Romantic Europe Trips & Honeymoon Packages

• What are the most romantic cities included in these European tours for couples?

  You'll find classic romantic spots like Paris, where you can take an evening Seine cruise and see the glittering Eiffel Tower, and Venice, where you can share quiet moments during gondola rides and dinner at cozy spots like La Fenice. Amsterdam adds its own charm with waterside cafes and evening canal cruises. One TourRadar traveler shares: "The evening dinner cruise in Budapest along the Danube was absolutely magical for couples - seeing all the illuminated buildings while enjoying a romantic dinner was unforgettable." You can stay at places that set the mood perfectly, like the W Hotel Amsterdam with Royal Palace views or the InterContinental Budapest right along the Danube.

• What's the best time of year for couples to take a European tour?

  Spring (April-May) is wonderful when flowers bloom in Paris and Amsterdam, while fall (September-October) means fewer tourists and nice weather in places like Rome and Florence. Summer gives you long days but bigger crowds. Winter can be really special, especially during the Christmas markets in Vienna when temperatures are around 35°F (2°C). A TourRadar traveler puts it well: "The springtime tulips in Amsterdam and cherry blossoms in Paris created the perfect romantic backdrop for our trip."

• Which river cruise itineraries are most romantic for couples?

  The Rhine and Danube routes are perfect for couples. On the Rhine between Amsterdam and Basel, you'll float past castles and vineyards in the UNESCO-listed Rhine Gorge. Danube trips connect beautiful cities like Vienna, Budapest and Prague. As one TourRadar traveler remembers: "Watching the sunset from our balcony as we cruised past illuminated castles on the Rhine was pure magic - we fell in love with Europe and each other all over again."

• What's the average cost for a couple's European tour?

  You'll find quite a range of prices depending on what kind of trip you choose. River cruises with all the extras run about $500-600 USD per person each day. Regular land tours cost between $230-550 USD per person daily. For example, you can do a 12-day European Discovery tour for around $2,940 USD per person, while fancy river cruises like Avalon Waterways start at $4,500 USD per person for 8 days. One TourRadar traveler shares: "While not cheap, the romantic experiences and hassle-free travel made it worth every penny for our special trip."
