Copenhagen
In our opinion, Copenhagen is also allowed in this list of romantic cities. In Copenhagen, you can do so much with your date. For example, rent a bicycle together and drive to the hippy village of Christiania. Book a tour boat ticket the next day and play a bit of the Titanic as you sail past all the beautiful buildings.
