City breaks can be anything from relaxing after business travel to attending a gig. So, of course, the idea of romanticizing city break can seem a bit odd at first. After all, you already live in a city, so you know there’s nothing romantic about gray urban landscapes and public transport. Yet, it doesn’t mean you can’t plan a cheeky romantic weekend in your favorite city with your loved one. Indeed, choosing a romantic room can make a huge difference to your experience of the city break. It’s also the perfect opportunity to try something new together. New activities bring people closer together as you share new experiences and memories. Besides, it can be helpful to schedule some relaxing downtime. There’s no need to pack your stay with activities and visits. So allow yourself to relax, and spend quality time together.

Take each other on a date
When was the last time you went on a date? Even couples should plan date nights from time to time. It brings you closer and makes your relationship even stronger. It’s also a great excuse to finally ditch the smartphone and talk over a candlelight dinner. Book a fancy restaurant in town and enjoy the night. Put your best clothes on; date nights are exciting, even in a long-term relationship. Not sure what to talk about? You can talk about what you’ve seen and done during the day. Or you could even bring some of these fun couple’s questions to get the conversation started. What would your loved one say to their younger self? How do they think you’ve changed since they’ve met you? What do they dream of doing with you they haven’t done yet?
Invite your creative muse onboard
Everybody dreams of being someone’s inspiration for a story or a song. Becoming someone’s inspiration is an open love letter. It means you occupy someone’s thoughts, and they want to share their emotions about you with the world. Writing a poem or a song about your loved one is a meaningful present that lets them know how much you care about them. You can choose to keep it private between the two of you. Or, if you are feeling brave, you can even choose to sell your music online or publish your poetry book. So, it can be a lovely idea to use the city break together as a source of inspiration, capturing the memories through your creativity.
Take a couple selfie
Couple selfies are cute. They are instantly more romantic as you can share them on your social media platforms. Every positive reaction, such as a like or a comment, reinforces your bond. However, taking couple selfies is a delicate art, especially when you are visiting a new city. If you’ve booked a fancy hotel room with a glorious bed, don’t miss the opportunity to take a “still in bed” selfie that shows off your relationship and discloses some of the luxurious furniture around you! Alternatively, the “walk with me” pose is always a winner in a picturesque background.
Walk as much as you can
Walking is by far the best way to experience a new city. So, if you are planning a city break, you want to pack comfy shoes. It’s easier to hold hands or entwine your arms and enjoy each other’s presence when you walk.
