We are back with a second podcast episode with Angelo! This week he will share 5 locations that you should consider for your next couples destination!
Barcelona, Spain
Spain’s rich culture and vibrant atmosphere make Barcelona an unforgettable destination. This city is a stunning mix of history and modern creativity, with architecture ranging from ancient Roman and Gothic styles to the colorful, bright buildings!
For active travelers, consider a running tour like Angelo and his wife did—it’s a fantastic way to see the city while getting a workout. If running isn’t your thing, a biking tour is another excellent way to explore Barcelona’s charming neighborhoods.
Angelo describes Barcelona as a “compact Italy” with a variety of amazing wine, beaches, and food. There are also many unique neighborhood areas to explore, each with distinct and unique themes.
Angelo describes Barcelona as a “compact Italy,” offering incredible wine, beaches, and cuisine.
One must-try dish? Jamon, a Spanish delicacy similar to prosciutto that melts in your mouth. Pair it with crusty bread drizzled with olive oil and tomato for an authentic taste of Spain.
If you’re looking for a city that blends romance, charm, and adventure, Barcelona is the place to be.
London, England
London is the perfect destination for couples who love entertainment, history, and world-class dining. Whether you’re into musicals, plays, festivals, or sporting events, the city offers endless ways to make unforgettable memories.
If you enjoy theater, don’t miss a show at West End, Europe’s equivalent to Broadway. The performances here are top-notch, making for a magical evening out.
Before the show, grab dinner at one of London’s many Michelin-starred restaurants or cozy pubs.
For exploring the city, London is highly walkable and bike-friendly, with dedicated cycling lanes that make getting around a breeze. The Tube (subway) is also an easy and efficient way to navigate the city, but biking allows you to soak in more of the sights.
And of course, no trip to London is complete without experiencing afternoon tea at one of the city's elegant hotels or charming tea rooms.
Naples, Italy
Naples is a hidden gem that many travelers overlook in favor of its famous neighbors, Pompeii, the Amalfi Coast, and Rome. However, in recent years, Naples has transformed into a safe, beautiful, and vibrant city worth visiting on its own.
If you want a central hub for your Italian adventure, Naples is ideal. From here, you can take quick trips to Sorrento, Capri, and the Amalfi Coast, making it a perfect base for exploring southern Italy.
Some must-do activities in Naples include:
Strolling through the historic Spanish Quarters
Visiting Piazza del Plebiscito, a breathtaking public square
Exploring the local outdoor markets, filled with fresh food and handcrafted goods
Taking a guided tour 40 meters underground, where ancient Italians carved out limestone to build the city
Naples is accessible via direct flights, or you can fly into Rome and take a scenic 1-hour 15-minute train ride south. Just note that there are no direct trains to the Amalfi Coast, so you’ll need to take public transport, rent a car, hop on a ferry, or even book a private boat to get there.
Rome, Italy
Rome is a timeless classic for couples, exuding history, romance, and breathtaking architecture at every turn. From candlelit dinners to enchanting evening strolls, the Eternal City is pure magic.
To make the most of your visit, consider booking private tours for major attractions. Rome is crowded, but exclusive experiences allow you to enjoy famous sites without the hassle of large crowds.
One particularly special experience? Angelo has connections to the key master who opens the Sistine Chapel every day. There is an option to follow the man from door to door and watch him unlock the building before you get a private moment in the Sistine Chapel.
With its unparalleled food scene, gorgeous piazzas, and rich history, Rome is a dream destination for couples looking to immerse themselves in Italian culture
Sicily, Italy
Sicily is a stunning island that blends a mix of Turkish, Arabic, Greek, North African, French, and Italian influences. The result? A culture, cuisine, and landscape unlike anywhere else in the world.
One of the most thrilling experiences on the island is taking a ride to the top of an active volcano—and even stopping for a wine tasting on the way down!
Other must-see attractions include:
The magnificent Baroque church of Santa Lucia
The ancient Greek theater, which still hosts performances today
The island’s lush landscapes, home to some of the freshest produce in the Mediterranean
Sicily is known for its fantastic flora and fauna. Because of this, Sicilian chefs have access to the best and freshest ingredients, meaning you’ll enjoy some of the most flavorful dishes in Italy.
