Paris is of course said to be the most romantic city in the world, just imagine waking up to croissants and coffee in the mornings, a walk through the bohemian streets  popping in and out of art galleries and finishing off the day with a walk along the Seine or viewing the Eiffel Tower lit up in the moon light sipping the best red wine France has to offer. However, Paris can be quite expensive during the romantic period so there are many other options out there to whisk your loved one away to.

It might not be the first location that springs to everyone’s mind but Moscow can be a very romantic city. Cuddle up in bars sampling the many different types of Vodka the city has to offer with an amazing number of restaurants and bars, or talk a walk through the Square of Europe with its spectacular fountain display.

Lapland might seem like a place for children to go and visit Father Christmas in December but it can make a really romantic destination with its log cabins and husky sledge rides you can spend an energetic day in the snow and spend your evenings curled up in front of a roaring fire. Or why not take a night ride out to view the northern lights one of the most romantic trips anyone can take.

As everyone knows it is not the location but the company that really makes a trip but it doesn’t hurt to book a romantic location!

There is one way to take away part of the stress this Christmas season, why not get away from the home and pick a Christmas holiday destination in the UK. Not only do you get the relaxation of the holiday aspect but you can invite as many or as few of the family that you wish. This helps to rule out the arguments over where you are spending the Christmas period and that one set of parents are not offended you aren’t with them.

There are many places in our fair Isles that are perfect for Christmas holiday destinations, there are the wild Yorkshire dales where you can act out a Wuthering Heights theme or feel like you are in Rebecca along the Cornish coast. When picking a Christmas holiday destination in the UK people mainly go to one of two extremes, they head for a bustling city or to a cottage in the middle of nowhere.

If you like the thought of being isolated and away from it all it could be that Scotland is just the place for you, with its many glens there are many cottages hidden away allowing you to be completely at peace with nature and at one with yourself and your guests, though if you pick this type of Christmas holiday destination make sure you get on well with all your guests!

If the hermit lifestyle isn’t quite your style why not head to a city where there are many places to go and things to see, Bath is the perfect example of this. This bustling city looks picturesque in the winter season and with the bustle of the city there is something for everyone.
