PHOTOS: Our Fave European Destinations Blanketed In Snow

While we love Paris, London and Amsterdam any time of year, there’s something incredibly romantic about the notion of those famed European cities blanketed in snow.

The snow has caused massive travel headaches at Heathrow (with 262 flights canceled on Sunday and 130 on Monday), Paris’ Charles de Gaulle and Orly airports (where 40% of flights were canceled), Frankfurt’s airport (180 flights canceled due to ice on Monday), and Munich (200 flights were canceled Monday), but no matter–the snow is beautiful.

Herewith, some of our favorite European spots covered in crisp white snow.
