Vosges and Speyer highlighted as romantic travel destinations

Travel guides highlight various romantic destinations in Europe, focusing on the Vosges region in France and the city of Speyer in Germany.

In the Vosges, couples can find privatized accommodations featuring amenities such as jacuzzis and saunas. Popular areas for these romantic retreats include Gérardmer, La Bresse, and Remiremont. Prices for a night in a room with a private spa typically range between 120 and 280 euros, depending on the season and equipment. The region offers diverse scenery, including forests and lakes like Gérardmer and Longemer.

Speyer, Germany, offers romantic experiences centered around its Romanesque cathedral and Maximilianstraße. To avoid crowds, visitors are encouraged to explore the old town in the evening rather than during peak daytime hours. Specialized “Glücksorte” tours led by guide Katja Edelmann provide intimate experiences through city walks and tastings at micro-breweries and artisan workshops, particularly during late afternoon and evening slots.
