Top 5 / North America

Though New Orleans may be known as a party destination, the city is home to many romantic spots, perfect for Valentine’s Day, an anniversary or a simple date night. These are our favorites.

Arnaud’s French 75 Bar

Transport to a different time at Arnaud’s French 75 Bar. Specializing in classic cocktails and premium spirits, the bar boasts cozy seating including comfy chairs and loveseats, perfect for a date night.

Bacchanal Wine

Bacchanal is the ultimate romantic outdoor spot. Part wine store, part music venue, Bacchanal offers a full food menu, including an option to build your own cheese plate.

Garden District

Take a stroll through New Orleans’ Garden District neighborhood. The charming streets are lined with beautifully designed houses. Then, hop on the St. Charles Avenue streetcar for another perspective of the city.

Preservation Hall

While there are many live music venues in New Orleans, Preservation Hall is one of the most well-known. The intimate venue has limited seating, so prepare to cozy up to your partner while listening to outstanding, traditional jazz.

Sylvain

The dimly lit bar and restaurant feels intimate and cozy, despite its location in the bustling French Quarter. Stop in for a cocktail or a romantic dinner. The patio is perfect during the warmer months.

What to Do During a Trip to Morro Bay, California

No, it’s not Monterey Bay. We’re talking Morro Bay, California, located about a 2.5-hour drive to the south, about halfway between San Jose and Los Angeles. A quieter destination, Morro Bay offers plenty for the outdoor adventurer to enjoy.

The Argosaronic Islands Are Calling

The Saronic or Argo Saronic Islands of Greece call travelers to explore its seven small islands and islets brimming with history, natural sites and more. With most easily accessible by boat, the islands’ proximity to ports of Athens make the Saronic Islands an ideal destination for those preferring shorter boat rides. In fact, trips from Athens ports to the islands take only between 10 minutes and two hours, depending on the island you choose, making them perfect for day or weekend trips.
