Planning a romantic trip with your special someone? You might think of France, but there’s a new champion of romance—Switzerland!
A recent study by European Waterways ranked the most romantic places in Europe based on fine dining, Michelin-star restaurants, top-rated wine bars, vineyard tours, and wine tastings. The results? Switzerland took the top spot with 269 points, leaving France behind at 250.
For years, France has been known as the ultimate romantic destination, with cities like Paris, Bordeaux, and Carcassonne. But according to travel expert Maryanne Sparkes, Switzerland’s mix of adventure and romance helped it claim the No. 1 spot. Its breathtaking scenery, high-end resorts, and incredible wine regions like Lavaux and Valais make it a dream destination for couples.
Switzerland offers luxury at its best, with top resorts like Grand Hotel des Bains Kempinski in St. Moritz, The Woodward in Geneva, and Mandarin Oriental Palace Luzern in Lucerne. Whether you want to relax in a spa, enjoy world-class dining, or take in the stunning views, Switzerland has it all. From the beautiful flower fields around Lake Lucerne in spring to the snow-covered peaks of Verbier in winter, romance is everywhere.
Italy and Greece also made the list, with highlights like Santorini, the Amalfi Coast, and Positano. And if you’ve already planned a romantic trip to France, don’t worry—there are still plenty of romantic spots to enjoy!
