If you and your loved one are thinking about donning your backpacks and heading off into the wide blue yonder then bear in mind that romantic interludes may well be few and far between.
Although you’ll no doubt discover your fair share of sunsets and white sand beaches there’s also a lot to be said for pushing the boat out even further and if you can aim to indulge in at least one of the options listed below then you’ll be doing your relationship no harm whatsoever.
From the cobbled streets of Buenos Aires to the waterways of northeast Italy, there’s never a moment that doesn’t call for a little bit of indulgence and if you’re intending to bond as you travel then make sure you keep all of your fondest experiences locked away and treasured forever.

Gondola rides in Venice
If there’s anything more indulgent when visiting Venice other than a gondola ride then it’s yet to be invented as this is the epitome of showcasing your relationship for the entire world and his wife to see. Striped jumpers, straw boaters and a delicious triple scoop gelato, if you’re lucky, all help to really push the boat out whilst travelling in Italy, and a gondola ride is certainly an awesome option if you’re thinking of popping an important question whilst under the Bridge of Sighs.
Explore a local wine estate
Wherever there is a sun drenched hillside and good soil then you’ll no doubt find a vineyard not far behind and if you’re hoping to indulge your palette and your soul whilst away from home then spending an afternoon in the company of the local grapes is definitely not to be missed. Tasting, relaxing and indulging, from South Africa to Australia, a visit to a wine estate really does the job.
Discover the beers of Europe
Another indulgent drinking session on a no lesser grand scale can always be encountered on a tour of Europe and if you’re a fan of traditional pubs and cosy coffee shops then there’s no better location than Amsterdam for the ultimate in indulgent beer tours. This is a great way to relax, unwind and enjoy each other’s company over a pint and if you’re in the mood for sightseeing then it’s always much more fun after a visit to the local ale house, although you might not remember everything quite so clearly.
One last Tango
There simply isn’t a sexier or steamier dance on the planet and if you want to really indulge all of your senses whilst travelling through South America then booking yourselves in for an Argentine Tango in Buenos Aires has to be up there with the best of them. Even just watching the professionals click through their paces is enough to get temperatures rising and if you’re wishing to truly indulge in the most traditional of experiences then grab your cape and hat as you prepare to strut your stuff.
Chocolate tasting
Finally, for all lovers of indulgent treats there can be no more definitive way to spend a few hours in Belgium other than sampling what the country does best, chocolate. Rumoured to be even more indulgent than the beer, Belgian chocolate is famed the world over for its rich and velvet qualities, and there’s no better way to find out more other than going on an artisan workshop tasting tour where all of your wildest and most indulgent Willy Wonka chocolate fantasies come to life.
