3. Palermo

Show your imagination by heading to Palermo, Sicily. An uber romantic city who’s deteriorating cliff-side staircases lead to the most magnificent gilded ballrooms. Why not visit the Vucciria and Ballarò markets, head over to the cultural Monreale and appreciate the beautiful mosaics of the Dome and stroll along the beach of Mondello to view the most striking sunset.

4. Barcelona

Get lost in the enchanting seaside city with boundless culture, explore the ancient city walls or take a walk through the shadowy streets and stop to celebrate the incredible Catalan cooking in one of the many cafes on the streets of Barcelona’s Gothic Quarter. Come night-time, you can enjoy sunset drinks with unparalleled panoramic views or take your pick from busy cava bars or consider Barcelona’s wild side and head to a nightclub.

A suave, sophisticated city where sweethearts can indulge in some Austrian culture at The Vienna State Opera and give rein to the famous Wiener Schnitzel. You can explore the Kunsthistorisches Museum which houses the imperial art collection or hit up the city’s musical heritage and catch a performance at the acoustically renowned Musikverein concert hall.
