Florence, Italy

Why Go to Florence?:- Tucked amid Tuscany's hills, Florence tempts couples with its overwhelming beauty. There is plenty to see, including the famous Uffizi Gallery. But rather than stay inside, snap a picture on the Ponte Vecchio, wander in the lush Boboli Gardens or stop for a memorable meal.

This little city, tucked amid the Tuscan hills, casts a long shadow through history. The wellspring of the Renaissance, Firenze (or Florence) sheltered the powerful Medici family and inspired artists like Michelangelo (David) and Brunelleschi (the Duomo). If it weren’t for the fashionable Italians and chic shops lining Via Tornabuoni, you might think you had traveled back in time to the 14th century. But Renaissance art is not the only reason to come: You also visit Florence for its gorgeous sunsets, its Italian cooking and its unbeatable romantic charm.

---

Paris, France

Why Go to Paris?:- The City of Love is one of the most romantic places on earth. You and your amour can stroll along the River Seine, dine at elegant French restaurants and tour iconic museums. Plus, the Eiffel Tower only gets more enchanting when it flickers at night.

The City of Light draws millions of visitors every year with its unforgettable ambiance. Of course, the divine cuisine and vast art collections deserve some of the credit as well. The gentle River Seine rambles through the city, flanked by stately museums, centuries-old churches, and blocks of Rococo- and Neoclassic-design architecture, further enhanced by charming trees and glowing streetlamps. Peppering the Seine's cobbled walks and graceful bridges are impossibly chic Parisians, probably on their way to the market, cafe or cinema.

Containing world-class museums, fashion, cuisine, and an atmosphere all its own, Paris is also a city of "many splendors," as Ernest Hemingway recalled in his memoir, "A Moveable Feast." Visit the Centre Pompidou, enjoy gourmet pastries, shop couture on the Champs Élysées or hit the boutiques in Les Halles, take in the view atop the Eiffel Tower, or even plan a day trip to Versailles Palace. But don't miss out on the simple pleasure of meandering the marvelous arrondissements (districts). Explore Paris with Our Europe Group Package Tour from Mumbai

---

Santorini, Greece

Why Go to Santorini?:- While here, you're bound to get some incredible couples photos. Bring a camera along as you spend your days lounging on Santorini's red beaches and sipping wine at one of the island's vineyards. And don't forget to snap pictures of Oia's gorgeous sunsets.

Your first order of business in Santorini is to hit the colorful beaches — the black and red sands make for a memorable visit. Next up, indulge in the archaeological delights of the impressively preserved Ancient Akrotiri. or climb the ancient stairs that lead to the historic city of Manolas in Thirassia. From there, catch a breathtaking view of the caldera, a brilliant turquoise pool of water that serves as nucleus for the varied isles of this archipelago. Some would say you only need a day to enjoy these islands' charms (they are a popular port of call for cruise ships), but to really drink in all Santorini has to offer, you'll need a few days to a week. Then you'll have plenty of time to learn there's more to these comely dots of the Cyclades than meets the eye.
