Answers & Discussion
Prague can be very romantic if you avoid the busiest tourist streets at peak times. Early mornings and evening walks are beautiful. It is not undiscovered, but it can still be more affordable than Paris.
Porto is a great choice. River views, wine cellars, beautiful tiles, good food and a slower pace than Lisbon. It feels romantic without trying too hard, and you can still find better value than the most famous cities.
