Travel for Couples

Couples travel is its own category — long dinners, slow mornings, and the kind of trip you actually want to share a room for. Here you will find romantic destinations, honeymoon and anniversary ideas, adults-only stays, and itineraries that balance downtime with just enough adventure to make the photos interesting.

  • Glasgow

    Glasgow

    Glasgow is Mackintosh territory — a creative, gritty Scottish city where art deco pubs, live music venues, and a humor drier than Edinburgh’s rain await.

  • Madison

    Madison

    Madison sits on an isthmus between two lakes with a farmers’ market circling the Capitol every Saturday — Wisconsin’s college-town capital at its best.

  • Boulder

    Boulder

    Boulder backs up against the Flatirons with a pedestrian-only Pearl Street, a cycling culture, and the kind of fitness obsession only Colorado can pull off.

  • Colorado Springs

    Colorado Springs

    Colorado Springs has Garden of the Gods, Pikes Peak, and the Air Force Academy — a military-and-mountain city at 6,000 feet with Olympic-level ambitions.

  • Moab

    Moab

    Moab sits in a Utah valley between Arches and Canyonlands — two national parks, the Colorado River, and red rock that changes color every hour of the day.

  • Liberia

    Liberia

    Liberia is Africa’s first independent republic, founded in 1847 by formerly enslaved Americans — a history that makes this West African nation unlike any other.

  • Duluth

    Duluth

    Duluth sits where Lake Superior feels more like an ocean — ore boats pass under the lift bridge, and the North Shore drive starts right at the city limits.

  • Avignon

    Avignon

    Avignon held the papacy for nearly a century and the Palais des Papes still dominates the skyline — a walled Provençal city where history is the main course.

  • Juneau

    Juneau

    Juneau is the only US state capital unreachable by road — hemmed in by ice fields, rainforest, and a glacier you can walk to from downtown.

  • Sacramento

    Sacramento

    California’s capital trades beach culture for farm-to-fork dining, a gold rush history you can walk through, and a river scene that locals quietly protect.

  • Palm Springs

    Palm Springs

    Palm Springs bakes under 350 days of sun with mid-century modern architecture, hot springs, and a desert calm that LA residents drive two hours to reach.

  • Santa Barbara

    Santa Barbara

    Santa Barbara sits on a rare south-facing stretch of California coast where the mountains drop straight to the beach. The wine country behind it seals the deal.

  • Rotterdam

    Rotterdam

    Rotterdam was bombed flat in 1940 and rebuilt itself into the most architecturally adventurous city in the Netherlands. The cube houses are just the start.

  • Frankfurt

    Frankfurt

    Frankfurt is “Mainhattan” — a banking skyline alongside medieval Römerberg square, apple wine taverns, and a riverfront that comes alive at sunset.

  • Porto

    Porto

    Porto lines the Douro River with port wine cellars, tiled facades, and a food scene that locals insist is better than Lisbon’s. They might be right.

  • Tallinn

    Tallinn

    Tallinn has one of Europe’s most intact medieval old towns and simultaneously ranks as one of its most digitally advanced capitals. The contrast works.

  • Dublin

    Dublin

    Dublin runs on literary history, live music in pubs that haven’t changed in decades, and a warmth from locals that makes every visitor feel expected.

  • Luxembourg City

    Luxembourg City

    Luxembourg City packs medieval casemates, a dramatic gorge cutting through the center, and a multilingual culture into one of Europe’s smallest capitals.

  • Monaco

    Monaco

    Monaco fits extraordinary wealth into the world’s second-smallest country — the Grand Prix circuit doubles as city streets and the marina costs more than most neighborhoods.

  • Denver

    Denver

    Denver sits a mile above sea level at the foot of the Rockies — craft breweries outnumber Starbucks and the mountains are a 45-minute drive from downtown.

  • Oslo

    Oslo

    Oslo sits between a fjord and forested hills — a capital where you can ski in the morning, visit a world-class museum at lunch, and sail by dinner.

  • Lisbon

    Lisbon

    Lisbon spreads across seven hills with tram 28 rattling through neighborhoods where fado music drifts from doorways and pastéis de nata cost under €2.

  • Athens

    Athens

    Athens has the Acropolis towering over a city where 3,400 years of history sit next to street art, rooftop bars, and €3 souvlaki that rivals any fine dining.

  • Jacksonville

    Jacksonville

    Jacksonville is the largest city by area in the lower 48 — beaches, a riverfront downtown, and enough room to avoid the crowds that plague Florida’s coasts.
