William and Kate, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, are fast approaching their first wedding anniversary. It seems like only yesterday that the happy couple were married at Westminster Abbey.
A St James’s Palace spokesman has said the young couple will be marking the occasion behind closed doors, spending some quality time together.
The Royal couple may be staying in Britain for their first anniversary, but there are plenty of romantic getaways available if you fancy celebrating in style.
Paris
It sounds like an obvious choice, but there’s a reason why Paris is known the world over as the City of Love. It is the ideal place for couples, offering beautiful architecture, idyllic walks and plenty of bars and cafes to get lost in.
Couples from around the world flock to Paris in search of romance each year, so with the city virtually on our doorstep, there’s no reason not to visit.
Iceland
It may seem like a slightly odd choice for a romantic getaway, but Iceland’s stunning views and exciting cities make it ideal for couples.
The national parks throughout Iceland offer some of the most breathtaking scenery in Europe – perfect for loved-up couples. And there’s always the opportunity to huddle together in order to get warm.
Sicily
Sicily is the largest island in the Mediterranean, and attracts thousands of tourists each year. The island is the perfect mix of geography, architecture and archaeology – and plenty of romance.
The cities of Palermo and Catania are most popular with tourists, but there are also plenty of small towns and villages for a peaceful romantic break.
