Roses are red, violets are blue, no matter what you're looking for, we have a holiday for you.... We had to put a cheesy line in here somewhere… But, we often fall into the trap of a ‘classic romance.’ Don’t get us wrong some of us are secret cringy romantics at heart. But here’s the thing: romance is subjective. For some, it’s the adrenaline of a sunrise hike in Iceland; for others, it’s the total seclusion of a Bora Bora lagoon or the "main character energy" of walking through New York City. Whether you are planning a Valentine’s Day trip, a long-overdue anniversary escape, or maybe the perfect proposal spot… we’ve curated a list of the best romantic holiday destinations for 2026.

We wake up at 3:00 AM, navigate the fluorescent-lit chaos of airport security, and spend hours in a cramped seat just to "save time." But by the time we actually hit the beach or the mountains, we’re so frazzled we spend the first two days just trying to remember how to relax! What if the travel itself became the experience? Imagine exploring the whole of Italy or the Canadian Rockies stress-free—no maps, no city traffic, and no white-knuckling the steering wheel thinking, "I need a holiday to recover from this holiday." Here’s why rail is, quite possibly, the most rewarding way to see the planet:
