Sip on a glass of wine from your balcony or relax an infinity pool as you watch the sun set over the sea.
Hoi An, Vietnam
During the day take a local food tour to sample the local delicacies of this Vietnamese town. Later on in the day take a boat ride through the canals and check out the colonial French architecture and then finish your night off with a stroll through the ancient town lit up each evening with lanterns and life!
Venice, Italy
Walk along the canal or take a relaxing gondola ride. If you want a more private tour tell your gondolier to take you to more secluded spots away from the tourists to enjoy a truly romantic ride through this Italian city and maybe steal a kiss under the Bridge of Sighs. Come with an appetite because there is no shortage of good food and even finer wine in this part of the world.
Koblenz, Germany
Where the Rhine meets the Moselle – this city is the gateway to ancient castles and storied hillside wineries. Take a river cruise on the Rhine or the Moselle with your loved one and you’ll be sure to end up here. Take the cable car up to the Ehrenbreitstein Fortress for sweeping views of the city!
