Though the water is undeniably cold \u2013 it\u2019s Scotland! \u2013 many brave visitors can\u2019t resist a dip. The walk to the pools is just as beautiful as the pools themselves, a 2.4km round trip it\u2019s been deemed \u2018short\u2019 in length and \u2018medium\u2019 in difficulty.<\/p>\n Stay at Skyewalker Hostel<\/a> where you\u2019ll be surrounded by unspoiled natural beauty.

It\u2019s the perfect base to pop back to for an afternoon nap following an indulgent lunch. For a bit of raucous fun, hit the Irish bar just next door to enjoy a brass band and table dancing. It doesn\u2019t get more Polish than that!<\/p>\n It\u2019s impossible to have a list of romantic European getaways without including the city of love itself, Paris<\/a>.

Just moments away from the Moulin Rouge and Pigalle, you\u2019ll be well positioned to soak-up Parisian life.<\/p>\n Get lost in the medieval Ribeira district filled with winding cobbled streets that take you past a series of boutique shops and independent cafes. The coastal city of Porto<\/a> is famous for its grand bridges and it\u2019s port wine.
