Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce made sweet memories in Europe!

A source shared details with PEOPLE about the couple's intimate getaway in Lake Como, Italy, during Swift’s short break between Eras Tour shows.

From late-night strolls, to a day touring Lake Como on a boat, the power couple made the most of their “four relaxing days of rest” this week.

“On the first night, they went for a long walk around the lake late at night [between 11 and midnight],” the source said about Swift and Kelce, both 34. “It was very romantic. At times they would walk hand in hand. They would also exchange a kiss every so often.”

The vacation began just a day after Swift's fourth and final Eras Tour show in Paris, France, on Sunday, May 12, which Kelce attended along with Swift's mother Andrea and their friends Gigi Hadid and Bradley Cooper.

On the last day of the trip, Friday, May 17, the couple toured Lake Como on a boat, an experience the “Fortnight” singer wanted to remember forever.

“[Swift] got on the boat along the side and then went right away to the front and started taking photos of him,” the insider revealed. “It was clear that she was trying to capture the moment for posterity, and the cute thing was that she didn’t use a phone but a little Olympus camera.”

After a nearly two-hour boat ride near the village of Bellagio in the rain, the couple reportedly docked the boat and shared a meal at Locanda La Tirlindana, a restaurant in front of Comacina Island. The restaurant serves local cuisine like fresh pastas and artisan desserts.

“They were very affectionate with each other, always close and hugging,” the source told PEOPLE about the couple's final day in Italy.

A day before embarking on the romantic getaway at the May 12 Eras Tour show, Swift performed her new song about Kelce, “So High School,” for the first time in front of him on tour during The Tortured Poets Department era of her 46-song setlist.

Later that show, Swift sang an acoustic version of “The Alchemy,” which includes football puns such as, “So when I touch down, call the amateurs and cut ’em from the team.”

Swift also acknowledged during that show that this was the 87th concert on the Eras Tour, a numerical nod to her NFL boyfriend’s No. 87 jersey.

The 14-time Grammy winner also wore Kansas City Chiefs colors — a sparkling gold ombre crop top and a coordinated red ombre skirt — at one point in the show.
