Whether you’ve been together two weeks or 20 years, a romantic trip away is the perfect tonic for couples seeking new experiences and quality time together. Thankfully, a romantic holiday doesn’t have to break the bank to be memorable and meaningful. Opting for a budget-friendly getaway means you can save your pennies for shared experiences, rather than splurging on luxury. Spending less doesn’t have to mean compromising on quality either; if love teaches us anything, it’s that the best things in life are (mostly) free.

In addition to the tried and tested budget holiday destinations, it’s also important to consider factors such as the cost of living in a particular destination, seasonal discounts and free or low-cost activities on offer in the region. Budget airlines may offer low-cost flights to many Scandinavian destinations, for example, but the exorbitant price of food and drink could see you swapping your intimate Nordic dining experience for a Happy Meal.
