About Romantic Travel: Europe's Most Romantic Cities

About.com    Romantic Travel
In the Spotlight | More Topics | Top Picks | Second Honeymoon |
  from Susan Breslow Sardone
With airfares dropping and the dollar-to-Euro exchange rate improving, Europe hasn't looked this affordable in years. Consider it an opportunity to visit one of the Continent's most romantic cities. And I'll give you a close-up view of the top three right now...

 
In the Spotlight
Venice
Indisputably romantic, La Serenissima has seduced lovers for centuries. While some consider a gondola ride the height of romance here, I prefer to linger on the grounds of the Peggy Guggenheim Museum and take in the views from her terrace overlooking the canals.

 
           More Topics
Paris
Outdoor cafes where you can linger for hours... bateaux-mouches along the Seine... incomparable food and French pastry... superlative museums and parks... and magnificent architecture all lure lovers to the French capital.

 
Bruges
The city of Bruges, Belgium -- with its medieval architecture, graceful canals, leafy parks, horse-drawn carriages clip-clopping over cobblestones, and cafés where you can savor fine Belgian beer and fries -- is one of the most romantic in Europe.

Top Picks - Belgium Attractions & Activities  from your  Honeymoons/Romantic Getaways  Guide
Belgium is a small European country, but it has ample attractions and activities to engage a romantic couple on holiday -- especially a pair with a good appetite.

1) Make Time for Magritte
Opened this month, Brussels' new Magritte Museum houses the largest collection of works by the famous Surrealist painter. From the building's trompe l'oeil exterior to its mind-bending display of paintings by the renowned Belgian artist, couples will be entertained and intrigued by what they see.

2) Learn to Make Chocolate Truffles
You know how to eat them. But would you like to know how to make them? You can enroll in the workshop at Mary Chocolatier of Brussels. During a two-hour morning or afternoon session, you'll get a 45-minute overview of the history of chocolate and learn how the company makes its artisanal brand. And then you'll get to try your hand at the skill that eluded Lucy and Ethel. Click on the link to make an online reservation.

3) Stroll the Grand Place in Brussels
Brussels' central square, the cobblestoned Grand Place is lined with ornate gothic and baroque structures that centuries ago housed members of Belgium's powerful guilds. Some of the buildings are decorated with gold leaf; all in this UNESCO World Heritage Site surround you with a sense of the ancient city.

 
"Love is Better the Second Time Around"
From Traveling Boy
Do you know about the Web site Traveling Boy? My friend and fellow traveler Ed Boitano runs it, along with a talented list of other Boitanos. And whether you're interested in culinary travel, assisted travel, extreme travel or other forms of motility, Ed or one of the Boitanos will steer you in the right direction. This week Roger Fallihee Boitano waxes romantic about his second honeymoon in Lake Como, Italy.

Boy Cat or Girl -- Can You Figure it Out?
Think you can tell a boy cat from a girl cat just by looking at a photo? It may not be as easy as you think: even gender-based color patterns can be misleading. Click here to take the quiz.
