If you’re getting ready for a romantic, once-in-a-lifetime European tour, you might be wondering how many places to go. My suggestion would be two countries that are within a day’s journey of one another, and no more than two cities in each over the span of two weeks. Trying to fit any additional spots into your two-week trip would leave you feeling exhausted, frustrated, and possibly even a bit irritable; not the romantic vibe for two in Europe that you are looking for.
Planning a two-week trip to Italy? Consider a custom itinerary that visits Venice, Florence, and Rome. This country is easily navigable by train, so it’s possible to experience all that these three cities have to offer. For example, take a traditional gondola ride in Venice, learn the art of Tuscan cooking and sample the local wines in Florence, and explore the historical marvels of Rome. A travel tip: fly into Venice and fly back from Rome.
Hoping to travel to Paris? A week is a great amount of time to spend in the city. With an additional 7-10 days, you could take day trips to the chateaus in the Loire Valley. To make the most of the Louvre Museum, it’s best to plan a full day to explore all the amazing works inside.
For a comprehensive trip to Spain, it is recommended to set aside at least 10 days to fully take in all Madrid and Barcelona have to offer as well as the opportunity for a tour of Granada and the Alhambra if desired.
If you’re looking for a romantic European escape, Ireland, Scotland, and England are other great places to consider. I’d be delighted to help you plan your trip! Reach out to me when you’re ready to begin to plan your romantic vibe for two in Europe.
