ParkVia recommendations: top 5 European romantic getaways

 

Are you planning a last-minute short break for the Valentine’s weekend or looking to book a surprise getaway soon with your partner? Here are our top 5 recommendations on where to go.

 

Budapest

Budapest is a vibrant upcoming city that is perfect for a long weekend away. The thermal baths are the place to be for that relaxing afternoon. Alternatively, explore the royal palace and the Fisherman’s Bastion with the beautiful panoramic views. The inexpensive restaurants and the lively ruin bars are a must when visiting this picturesque city.

 

Edinburgh

The Scottish capital is known for its historic landmark ‘Edinburgh Castle’ and it’s the home to the crown jewels, the fringe festival and the sound of the bagpipes. The town is full of chic bars and restaurants…which are almost guaranteed to have haggis on the menu.

Climb to the highest point and admire the Scottish skyline from Arthur’s seat. If you’re not scared of things that go bump in the night, then you must sign up to Edinburgh’s haunted tour beneath the city streets.

If you want a more relaxing evening with your partner, try the finest whisky on a guided tour and then head over to the comedy scene to enjoy a stand up.

 

Rome

The Italian capital brings you Italy’s top tourist attractions, the Colosseum, Vatican City, the “Scalina Spagna” and of course the Trevi fountain, where you can make that all important wish.

If you are looking for a romantic evening, Trastevere is a colourful, bohemian district in Rome, full of traditional restaurants with craft beers, wine and independent artisan shops. You can even dine with the locals for a homemade 5 course meal.

 

Seville

Seville is an ideal getaway to explore a Spanish city at its best. The capital of Andalusia holds the El Catdral de Sevilla the third largest church in Europe.

By day, delve into the ancient church’s history and the artistic architecture of the Royal palace accompanied with picturesque gardens. Book a walking tour through the Barrio Santa Cruz but if you’re not one for walking take a leisurely horse and carriage ride around the city.

By night, bar hop through the tapas bars and try the traditional dishes and wines followed by the infamous flamenco dance show that the city is renowned for.

 

Paris

We couldn’t discount (arguably) the most romantic city in the world from our list, after all it is the city of love.

Infamous for landmarks such as the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre and the Arc de Triomphe, it’s a wonderful city to practice your photography skills with your better half. If selfies aren’t for you, discover the delightful café culture the city has to offer and visit the districts of Le Marais, Latin Quartier and Montmartre. Paris at night is a great chance to wine and dine and enjoy a Moulin Rouge show.

Now it’s your turn, go ahead and plan that perfect getaway. Don’t forget to pre-book your parking and lounge with ParkVia and get your trip off to the perfect start!
