City breaks are more popular than ever before. People are turning their backs on beach holidays in notorious ‘party destinations’ in ever increasing numbers, with more preferring the understated beauty that can be found in some of the world’s most beautiful cities.

We explored the top 10 options for a romantic city break with a loved one, and some reasons why you might want to head there.

1.London

The UK capital has its critics, but last years’ Olympic Games did nothing but boost its profile. Whether it is shopping, landmarks, or vast areas of parkland to stroll around, London offers a little bit of everything, making it a great city for all to enjoy.

2.Amsterdam

Although Amsterdam has a bit of a reputation for being a seedy city, it is also a rich, vibrant center of culture with its canals and museums among some of the very best anywhere in the world.

3.New York City

This place speaks for itself, however we recommend heading there for the Fourth of July celebrations, when Macy’s fireworks display over the Hudson River will be one of the biggest and best you will ever see.

4.Venice

Italy is a country steeped in romance, and although Venice has lost some of its appeal due to the love of modern attractions, it is still a great place to relax with a loved one, with the narrow streets filled with boutiques and quirky shops waiting to be explored.

5.Prague

Another city that earned a reputation for being great for stag parties, yet Prague has some wonderful architecture, museums, and art galleries, that provide a cultural experience like few places on Earth.

6.Bangkok

Bangkok is a majestic city, set the perfect distance in land for it not to be considered ‘beach front,’ but close enough that you can be lying on golden sands within minutes should you wish to. Often a stop-off point for backpackers in the region, Bangkok is memorable for its food and exciting, hustling markets.

7.Sydney

Australia’s biggest city is filled with opportunities for romance, whether that is in a boat ride around Sydney’s inner water network or in the many theatres and restaurants, there really is something for everyone.

8.Rome

Back to Italy, where Rome is predominantly known for religious pilgrims travelling to the Vatican City. However, there are many other sights here that will take your breath away, with the coliseum one of the most haunting yet awe-inspiring buildings you could ever wish to visit.

9.Paris

Although the 21^st century has seen Paris lose a little of its lustre when it comes to being the world’s ‘romance capital,’ there is no question that it still remains a special place, with hotels offering stunning views of the city, and of course brilliant museums and galleries such as the Louvre.

10.Barcelona

The Catalan capital is earning itself a reputation as being a great city destination, with shopping at every turn for women to enjoy, and affordable tickets available to the football for him. What more could you want?
