Check out our hostels in Venice, Paris or Las Vegas for the perfect getaway with your sweetheart. Spend more on the candlelit dinner for two by checking out our top 10 list!
1. Venice - The number one city for all true romantics. No other city has more beautiful alleyways, foot bridges and scenery for couples in love. Picture this: narrow streets, small cafes and restaurants galore, canals and gondoliers singing just for you. The Venice Gondola Tour is the most romantic way to make declaration of love. Then in the evening you can go into one of the many churches for a classical music concert or in the middle of St. Mark's square and soak up the atmosphere of the city. While many consider Venice to be expensive, there are beds in Venice as low as 25€!
2. Paris - Also nearly tied with Venice, but in at number two, is this historic city of romance. It is a mecca for love and passion. Nice romantic ambience in every café, amazing architecture and sweet smells of croissaints and pastries filling the air. How about that for a nice backdrop for a romantic weekend? Spend a weekend in Paris and visit Montmartre Sacre Coeur, the Gardens of Luxembourg, dine in the Marais district and finally stroll along the Seine. You can find cheap hostels from as low as 20€ per person for a double room!
3. Buenos Aires - The city where life and love are inseparable, much like the tango dancing which was born in the suburbs of Buenos Aires. It is known as the 'Paris of the South'.
