Eastern Europe has lots to offer by way of romance. Not only can a simple city tour turn into a prelude to a candlelit dinner when you're with the one you love, but Eastern Europe also has much by the way of activities that cater specifically to couples. Next time you want to celebrate with your special someone, consider the unique charm of Eastern Europe.
Eastern Europe has done well to capitalize on its beautiful, historic castles that dot the lush countrysides of Hungary, Poland, and the Czech Republic. Most of these hotels offer honeymoon packages, host weddings, and boast amenities that couples will want to take advantage of together. Book a suite, go horseback riding, spend the afternoon at the spa, and then share a meal in a cozy corner of the restaurant. The castle hotels of Eastern Europe are for real romance.
Traveling across Russia by the Trans-Siberian Railway has been on the "to-do" lists of many lovers. You can do east to west in a week or two, but you should plan to dawdle even longer than that. There are some beautiful stops along the way (like
Krasnoyarsk and
Tomsk), but the traveling in itself is magical. The changing Russian landscape will make both of your hearts beat a little faster.
Intimately situated small towns and cities of Eastern Europe make getting around as a couple easy and enjoyable. Visiting
Ljubljana or
Pecs might be less stressful than visiting larger cities, where getting around can be a hassle. After all, you're traveling to relax, not to figure out how to navigate the bus system!
Prague is considered by some to be Central Europe's most romantic city. Its beauty is remarkable, and it is by no means short on restaurants, events, sight-seeing, or shopping. For romance, Prague will never let you down.
Moscow, the cultural center of Russia, brings romance alive through history. Visit the Kremlin's Armory Museum, see a ballet, shop for souvenirs, or stroll through Red Square at dusk.
6. St. Petersburg Travel
St. Petersburg is a marvel of a city that mixes East and West, sometimes ostentatiously. However, this doesn't detract from the inherint romance of St. Petersburg. Quite on the contrary - the sprawling, brightly-colored palaces, the church bells that peal rhythmically, the concerts and operas and ballets . . . they are all good examples of what lies in store for lovers who visit Petersburg Russia.
Eastern Europe - especially northern Eastern Europe - had many ports of call for European cruises. Visit Tallinn Estonia, Gdansk Poland, or St. Petersburg Russia.
Eastern Europe has a variety of spa resorts to pamper both you and your sweetheart. Hungary is famous for its spas, due to the natural thermal springs found in this country. However, you'll also find plenty in Croatia, the Czech Republic, and other Eastern European destinations.
