Europe is home to some of the most romantic backdrops in the world. From the beautiful avenues of Champs Elysees in Paris to the charming canals that labyrinth through Venice, the continent is full of fairytale destinations.

Toss three coins into Trevi Fountain with your partner - one coin ensures a speedy return to Rome, the second, romance, and the third, marriage.
