In-depth Knowledge
Europe
Cultural couples can revel in a region overflowing
with centuries of history, underpinning some of
the world’s most beautiful and iconic cities. Rome,
Paris, London, Vienna and Amsterdam offer every
ingredient for romantic breaks or fully-blown
romantic occasions.
But the beauty of this region is also the variety
it offers. Clients looking for beautiful islands and
beaches can opt for Greece, Turkey, Spain or the
Croatian coastline, while those wanting wide
open spaces can choose the Alps, Italian lakes
or Norwegian fjords.
POPPING THE QUESTION: England
Getting engaged on the doorstep may not have the
thrill of travelling overseas, but England has much
to offer. Few cities can match the romance, history
and appeal of London, while Bath has been hailed
as the most romantic city in Britain, and has its
own website at www.visitbath.co.uk/lovebath
suggesting places for the perfect proposal.
Clients can take a hot-air balloon ride over Leeds
Castle in Kent or get down on one knee onboard
the Orient Express train, while car fans can opt for
Pride of Britain’s country house hotels, which offer
stays complete with a classic car.
KIDS WELCOME ON THE
FAMILYMOON: Lapland
Tying the knot in a winter wonderland is the
perfect alternative for clients wanting a ceremony
with a difference – especially if they already have
children, who will love the snowy surroundings
and the activities.
Lapland weddings can take place by candlelight,
in wooden chapels, an ice chapel or even a “snow
dome” set in the forest in Finnish Lapland. The
wedding party can enjoy reindeer sleigh rides,
husky dog rides, snowmobiling and toboggan
rides. And there’s even the chance to meet
Santa himself!
HONEYMOON HEAVEN: Italy
Newlyweds can start their married life in the land
of “la dolce vita” and breathe in the romance of
classical Italian cities such as Rome, Venice and
Florence, or soak up the scenic coastline of the
Neapolitan Riviera with idyllic spots such as
Sorrento and Amalfi and the nearby island of
Capri. Alternatively, they can take in the rolling
countryside of Tuscany and Umbria punctuated
with medieval towns and villages and relax, enjoy
the food, the wine and “the sweet life”.
