Take your loved one on a romantic getaway to some of Europe's best canal cities. Whether it's bike rides in Amsterdam, enjoy a fairy-tale experience in Venice or check into a historic Bruges hotel, there is something to suit every couple.
Canals are well and good, but why not actually stay in a hotel that overlooks one? There are plenty on offer in each of these cities, and here are some of our favourites:
Continental Hotel, Venice
This splendid three star hotel is located in Venice, surely the most famous canal city in the world. Take to the gondolas in this city filled with rich history and tradition, take to the gondolas to explore this quintessentially Italian city where you will be able to bask in its beauty on a tranquil ride along the canals during the night or day, and then enjoy a glass of wine and a fine meal by candlelight at one of the nearby restaurants. The Continental is just a short distance from the designer shops and markets, and with double rooms starting at less than £65 per night. There are plenty of other
Venice hotels in the area too if it doesn’t quite meet our requirements, so get a pizza the action before you miss out!
Hotel Ter Brughe, Bruges
The historic four star Hotel Ter Brughe in Bruges is the place to go if you just want to get away from it all though and be with the one you love. This quaint city is lined beautiful canals and the hotel is just a 5 minute walk from the belfry tower in the quiet quarter of St. Gillis, with double rooms and breakfast starting at just £93 per night. One of the oldest
Bruges hotels still standing, the house dates back to 1553 with a charming walled courtyard where guests can relax with a drink after a day’s sightseeing, as well as an onsite spa run by the owners.
