Yes, you can travel ALONG with your Spouse/partner to European countries where unmarried partnership is recognized. For example Countries such as Germany, Poland does not recognize unmarried partnership.

Thank you very much for your response. Can you please tell me which other country in Europe recognise unmarried partnership?

most of the European countries do recognize partnership in some way or the other. Even if unmarried partnership is not recognized say between a straight/same sex couple you would instead by considered as someone in a durable relationship, the relationship duration excepted is anywhere between 6 months to 2 years. It is just that some really orthodox member state like Poland outright doesn't recognize partnership. See this http://europa.eu/youreurope/citizens/fa ... dex_en.htm
