What are the best destinations to travel as a couple?

Sometimes you don't have to leave the country (or even the city) to find little gems of knowledge and exciting activities. Here we collect a little for everyone: sports, quiet trips, cultural events and many more things that will adapt to the most common shared tastes as a couple.

If you discover here a hobby or passion of your partner with which you do not feel completely identified, perhaps it is time to twist your arm a little and try to understand what it is that makes your life partner so interested in that topic in question. Sometimes, activities as a couple are not based solely on shared tastes, but on understanding and embracing what the other person feels as theirs. Without further ado, let's get to it.

1. The beaches of Bali, in Indonesia

Bali is one of the most famous Indonesian islands, known for its stunning beaches, lush volcanic mountains, iconic rice paddies, and fascinating coral reefs. Excellent weather, crystal clear water and hundreds of exotic activities are brought together in this region of just 5,780 km².

Of course: if you consider an escape to this reality in a dream, go preparing your portfolio. Approximately a round trip flight costs a minimum of 800 euros per person, this without taking into account the stay and consumption. Of course, this is one of those getaways that can only be done once in a lifetime, unless your annual income exceeds 6 figures.

2. Lastres, Asturias

We went down drastically in the monetary scale because, if you are Spanish, this destination catches you “just a stone's throw away”, as the popular saying goes. Lastres is a small town located in the North of Spain, in the Principality of Asturias, on the edge of the Cantabrian Sea.

Get ready to climb hills, as this small population center is located in a mountainous accident, but each step taken is worth it. Stamps of dreams, vegetation, gastronomy and typical northern buildings await you among its streets. For all these reasons and many more, Lastres has earned the award as one of the most beautiful towns in all of Spain.

3. Bungee Jumping in France

Not everything is gastronomy and walks, right? Some couples want some adrenaline, that feeling of being alive above all problems, and what better than bungee jumping to feel on the edge? The Caille bridge (Rhône-Alpes, France) is one of the most famous for this extreme sport. Considered by many as the "germ" of bungee jumping, this building has a height of 150 meters above the river Les Usses.

Apart from being exciting, this plan is quite cheap, since a bungee jumping does not usually exceed 50 euros per person. In addition, you can take the opportunity to visit the beautiful French surroundings after that "adrenaline rush" so sought after.

4. Diving in Cabo de Palos-Islas Hormigas, Murcia

We do not shy away from risk, because we offer you a plan as a couple that neither of you will forget: diving in the marine reserve located in Cartagena (Murcia). This place is excellent for activity, as it has one of the highest diversity rates in the entire continent: coral reefs, fish, algae, cetaceans and even sunken ships. A couple can break up, but experiences of this magnitude remain etched in the brain for life.

5. Go historic sightseeing in Newgrange, Ireland

Maybe yours are more books than adrenaline, and there is nothing wrong with that. If you are fans of the history of human civilization, Newgrange is one of the essential bastions of the Stone Age, with an architecture unmatched in any other corner of the planet.

The Newgrange Passage Tomb is a structure 85 meters in diameter and 13 meters high, surrounded by 97 slabs decorated with engravings. In addition, it has the peculiarity that, at the winter solstice, a beam of sunlight enters through the passage and illuminates the central room. Of course, a piece of incalculable historical relevance that you can enjoy with your partner.

6. Rome: the capital of art

How could the capital of Italy, with more than 3,000 years of architecture, art, culture and global influence be missing from this list? As they say, if you are careless in Rome, you end up stepping on a monument. Every street, every fountain, every statue and every painting has something to tell.

An ancient legend holds that if a person tosses a coin into the Trevi Fountain, he will be assured of his return to Rome. Who knows? If you have some change, you may assure yourself an eternal love.

7. Berlin: the alternative capital

Based on personal opinion, Berlin is one of the most polarizing cities in the world. The same you find a column with bullet holes from the second world war, that with one of the most impressive art museums that you can conceive.

Berlin is construction, huge streets, cranes and architectural coldness, but don't be fooled: few regions present such a fascinating culture. Whether sipping a beer barefoot on the banks of the Elbe River while listening to an orchestra street or visiting the impressive Sunday flea market, every act in Berlin is a real ceremony.

Street artists, performances, music, history, gastronomy and art: this city has everything. If you are one of those couples eager for knowledge and experiences, you will find few better options on this list.

8. The spas of Budapest

Budapest acquired the title of City of Spas (or spa town) in 1934. This question is not anecdotal, since it is estimated that the region contains 118 springs, both natural and artificial waters, from which more than 70 million liters of thermal waters sprout every day at temperatures between 20 and 80 ° C.

Undoubtedly, immersing yourself in the different waters offered by these facilities is an experience like few others: icy, bubbly, saline, boiling, perfumed waters, saunas, spas, etc. Every aquatic combination you can imagine is here.

9. Santorini, Greece

We are facing another one of those regions that captivates traditional lovers solely for its architecture and landscapes, as it is a place with a vertigo topography that rises around the Aegean Sea, where the white villas invite you to enjoy the most precious postcards with the sea in the background.

10. Tenerife, Canary Islands

Nor is it necessary to go that far to discover a paradisiacal island landscape, since the Canary Islands themselves are a real treasure independently. Tenerife stands out among all of them, as it is the favorite destination of many tourists, both Spanish and other parts of Europe. Either by the fascinating Teide, the beaches or by the impressive vegetation of Icod de los Vinos (the Millennial Dragon Tree), this little island has something for everyone.

A word of advice: if you like beer, try the one made with palm honey, made locally on the island. Few hop drinks are that good.

11. Vienna

The capital of Austria seems bathed in gold, because every nook and cranny of the city exudes ostentation and wealth. If you and your partner are music lovers, there is no better destination than this. Beethoven, Schubert, Brahms and Strauss are buried under the lands of this region, and the most complete museum on Amadeus Mozart himself was erected in Vienna.

12. Amsterdam

The official capital of the Netherlands exudes personality, as it is "the bad and wrong" of Europe. Amsterdam boils down to one word: experiences. Whether losing yourself in the heated spectacles of the red light district or consuming the well-known “magic truffles” of the region, this city opens the mind even to the most squared off.

If you are looking to live different experiences with your partner and be seduced by the most bizarre psychedelics, lights and shows (all legal), you cannot miss this city. In addition, here the consumption of marijuana is legal in coffee shops, in case anyone is interested.

Resume

As you can see, here we have released a little of everything: history, landscapes, extreme experiences, spas, psychedelics ... What else do you want? Surely one of these plans would be ideal with your partner! Leave the monotony behind and surprise your vital partner with one of these ideas. We assure you that the flame of your love will thank you.
