Budapest, Hungary
Known as the "City of Baths" thanks to its rich spa heritage (introduced by the Romans), Budapest offers plenty of opportunities to unwind in stunning, thermal baths, which are said to have healing powers.
Savannah, Georgia
Nicknamed the "Forest City" thanks to its abundance of live oak and ample Spanish moss providing shade, Savannah is super romantic by any standard. It has cobblestone streets, cute bed and breakfasts galore, and 21 lush public squares ringed by beautiful old homes, but you can take the romance up another notch by riding a horse-drawn carriage through the historic district. The weather is blissfully temperate in the fall.
Bruges, Belgium
Take long, romantic strolls along the city's many canals. With a body of water literally named Lake of Love, and a bridge known as Lover's Bridge, few places are as inherently romantic as Bruges.
