15. For low budget couples – Brasov, Romania
One way to Brasov, please! Once you discover this romantic little town in Romania, you won’t want to go home.

The most curious will venture 40 minutes drive away to dream in front of the walls of Bran Castle, better known as Dracula Castle. After passing by the Black Church, blackened by the flames of a huge blaze in 1689, take the Telecabina or climb to the top of the hill on foot to admire the view from Mount Tâmpa.
14. For lovers of good food – Istria, Croatia
The immensity of the heart is sometimes measured by the size of the stomach. Croatian Istria will seduce yours, with truffles and fresh fish, and that’s just the beginning. Proud producers of Croatian olive oil, their liquid gold is what connects the Mediterranean to the mainland and influences dishes such as sauces with langoustines or mussels or hand-rolled pasta.
The turquoise waters and green landscapes will give you something to talk about until dessert, only if you still manage to talk while enjoying a delicious Croatian donut. Go to the market in the port of Rovinj to stock up on good things to take home, then set off to discover the Cathedral of St. Euphemia and its 60-meter bell tower. For the complete romantic package, buy a bottle of Istrian wine and take a ferry from Rovinj to Venice.
