Top 5 City Breaks—and How Much They Cost

Whilst flowers wilt and chocolates disappear in a day, an amazing travel memory lasts a lifetime. Whether you’re planning a spontaneous getaway or the perfect surprise, a Pippa Rose Travel Gift Voucher unlocks the door to bespoke travel planning, concierge support, and unforgettable adventures. But what trips can be booked with what value voucher? Here are 5 romantic city breaks to inspire you—whether you’ve got £300, £600, or £1,000 + to spend.

🌿 1. A Romantic Escape to Lisbon, Portugal – Sunsets, Charm, and Sea Breezes (From £300)

Yes, £300 is enough to whisk you away to Lisbon, a city where romance is stitched into every cobbled street. Picture charming boutique hotels, pastel-coloured buildings, and trams rattling up steep hills. Spend your days wandering through the historic Alfama district, watching sunsets over the Tagus River, and sipping vinho verde at rooftop bars with dazzling views. Lisbon is effortlessly cool, wildly romantic, and perfect for a spontaneous escape.

🌆 2. A Chic Getaway in Seville, Spain – Passionate, Vibrant, Unforgettable (From £600)

With £600, you could sweep your loved one away to Seville, the sultry heart of Andalusia. Stay in a stylish boutique hotel tucked into the city’s maze of cobbled streets, where you’ll be steps away from flamenco shows, tapas bars, and rooftop terraces overlooking the iconic Giralda tower. Picture sun-dappled squares, orange blossoms in the air, and late-night strolls along the Guadalquivir River. Romance, Seville style.

🕌 3. A Whirlwind Escape to Marrakech, Morocco – Exotic, Enchanting, Unapologetically Frenetic (From £800)

Looking for something with a bit more spice? Marrakech is a sensory overload in the best way possible. For £800, you can book a stay in a beautifully restored riad—a hidden oasis behind unassuming doors, filled with tiled courtyards, trickling fountains, and rooftop views of the Atlas Mountains. Spend your days exploring colourful souks, sipping mint tea, and getting delightfully lost in the medina.

🗼 4. A Parisian Weekend for Two – Because, Well… Paris (From £1,000)

For around £1,000, you can indulge in a proper romantic cliché—and we mean that in the best way. A long weekend in Paris, staying at a chic hotel in Le Marais or Saint-Germain-des-Prés, with plenty left over for croissants, champagne, and riverside strolls along the Seine. From hidden gardens to candlelit bistros, it’s a city that turns even the smallest moment into poetry.

🌊 5. Venice, Italy – Where Romance Drifts on the Canals (From £1,500)

Because nothing says romance quite like Venice. For around £1,500, you can stay in an elegant canal-side hotel, complete with breakfast overlooking the water. Glide through quiet back canals on a gondola (yes, it’s touristy—yes, it’s still magical), get wonderfully lost among narrow alleyways, and toast to la dolce vita with an Aperol Spritz as the sun sets over the Grand Canal.
