So, what are some of the destinations that should be on your couples bucket list? Here are some of the best romantic spots around the world that are perfect for enjoying with your darling.
Berlin, Germany
When it comes to European capitals, Paris is usually the one that makes the lists of “Most Romantic City.” And to be fair, Paris is pretty ridiculously romantic. However, if you want to go somewhere a little bit different for a couples getaway, why not try Berlin?
You can go on a tour of the elegant rococo-style Charlottenburg Palace, complete with a three-course meal and a concert. Or, you can take your sweetheart for a meal at the restaurant at the top of the Berlin TV Tower at Alexanderplatz.
Even just walking around the streets of this cool, cultural city is a lot of fun. Here’s a great post with lots of romantic things to do in Berlin.
Buenos Aires, Argentina
Take your special someone out for a romantic meal and treat them to superb steak and red wine, then hit the town and learn to tango. Buenos Aires is a sophisticated and romantic city with excellent dining and a great nightlife.
It has the perfect combination of European elegance and Latin passion.
The Buenos Aires Dance Club is a great place to learn some sizzling hot tango moves and sweep your partner off their feet. You could even check into one of the “love hotels.”
They are not as seedy as they sound — they are hotels that can be rented by the hour so you can have a romantic tryst whenever the mood strikes. Here are some more great ideas for planning the perfect date night in Buenos Aires.

New Orleans, USA
New Orleans is unlike anywhere else in the world — a city with a unique character, great live music and mouthwatering, stick-to-your-ribs food. Known for the jazz music scene and the annual Mardi Gras celebration, N’awlins makes a great destination for couples who enjoy culture, history, food and letting the good times roll.
You and your special someone can go on a dinner cruise along the Mississippi River or a swamp tour through the humid and mysterious Louisiana Bayou, then dine at one of the romantic, legendary restaurants in the French Quarter such as Arnaud’s, Tujague’s or the Court of Two Sisters.

Koh Lanta, Thailand
If you and your sweetheart have been stressed out and need to unwind, a trip to the gorgeous islands of Thailand will certainly do the trick. There are many different islands in Thailand, some filled with drunken partying backpackers, others delightfully remote and peaceful — but Koh Lanta is a great balance.
It’s quiet and laid-back enough to be romantic, so you won’t be kept up by the booming music of parties on the beach. But there are also plenty of things to do, places to eat and choices for accommodation.
Plus, you’ll get great value for your money here. For the price of a budget motel back home you can treat yourself to a private bungalow on the beach with a pool.
Hire a moped and go explore some of the more secluded beaches, take a hike to a waterfall, or go on a boat tour and spend the day kayaking and snorkeling around the limestone rock formations. Here are a few more unforgettable things to do in Koh Lanta.

This list of top things to see and do in the Algarve will give you more ideas.
You’ll see a glimpse into a simpler way of life — seasonal produce picked fresh on the farm and prepared, fresh oranges and olives sold in the markets, locals wading into the Atlantic at low tide to find barnacles and cockles.
There are many gorgeous resorts and small authentic guesthouses where you will be welcomed with warm hospitality.
