We’ve put together a list of the 10 most romantic travel destinations – along with tips to help you stay healthy during your trip.

1. Lapland, Finland – Winter Wonderland

Imagine returning from a snowshoe hike under the Northern Lights, your cheeks still rosy from the crisp -19°C air. You kick off your boots, warm up with a steaming cup of coffee, and cozy up by the fireplace with a freshly baked korvapuusti (cinnamon roll), while the sauna is already heating up. Sounds like a winter fairytale? Welcome to Lapland!

💡 Health Tip: Protect yourself from frostbites by wrapping yourself in several breathable layers of clothing. Start with a moisture-wicking base layer that draws perspiration away from the skin, followed by an insulating midlayer that traps body heat. Finally, a wind- and water-resistant outer layer ensures that you are protected from the elements. This combination keeps your skin dry and ensures optimal warmth.

2. Bali, Indonesia – Your Eat, Pray, Love Moment

Sandy beaches, tropical forests and impressive temples make Bali the ideal setting for romantic getaways. Whether you're hiking in the jungle, relaxing at the spa or enjoying a sunset in a hidden cove, Bali has something for everyone.

💡 Health Tip: Protect yourself from mosquito bites day and night, as they can transmit diseases such as malaria and dengue. Drink plenty of water (bottled or boiled!) to compensate for the hot temperatures. In general, all basic vaccinations are recommended according to the Swiss vaccination plan. In addition, protection against hepatitis A is recommended for everyone, as are vaccinations against typhoid fever and Japanese encephalitis, depending on the duration and type of trip. It is also important to check before you travel whether a booster vaccination against polio is recommended for you. To prevent traveler's diarrhea, follow the golden rule of “cook it, boil it, peel it or leave it”.

3. Paris, France – the City of Love

Whether it’s love for culture, love for art, or love for croissants – that’s entirely up to you, we won’t judge. In Paris, everything is a declaration of love. Whether you’re enjoying a baguette with a bit of olive oil under the Eiffel Tower, or getting lost hand in hand while window shopping on cobblestone streets – Paris proves that clichés are clichés for a reason.

💡 Health Tip: Comfortable shoes are a must for long walks and don't forget to drink enough water – even in winter.

4. Kyoto, Japan – Cherry Blossom Dreams

💡 Health Tip: During the flu season, keep hand sanitizer handy and wear a mask when you ride the train or bus. In addition to the standard vaccinations, you should consider getting a vaccination against Japanese encephalitis for certain areas when traveling to Japan. However, the transmission period is from July to October.

5. Ski Resorts in the Swiss Alps – A Home Game

There’s hardly anything more romantic than a charming chalet in the Alps. Whether you’re carving down black slopes or indulging in après-ski relaxation, the fresh mountain air and breathtaking views will take your breath away.

💡 Health Tip: Keep the altitude in mind – many Swiss summits are over 2500 meters. Be sure to acclimatize slowly when spending the night at high altitudes to avoid altitude sickness. We also like to give you a friendly reminder that après-ski should really start “après”. In any case, avoid the slopes if you are under the influence of alcohol or drugs or if you are tired.

6. Verona, Italy – A Shakespearean Romance

💡 Health Tip: Pack comfortable shoes and a reusable water bottle. Hydration is important, even when tasting Italian wines!

7. Buenos Aires, Argentina – Tango under the Stars

Dance with your loved one in the city of tango. Buenos Aires offers a vibrant city life, Malbec and – for the brave – Argentinean football!

💡 Health Tip: The flight from Zurich to Argentina takes a long time. Long flights can cause blood flow problems, especially in the legs. To prevent thrombosis and reduce discomfort, make sure not to block your legroom with luggage. Store your luggage in the overhead compartments and do simple exercises such as foot circles, seated twists or calf raises. In general, the yellow fever vaccination is only recommended for travelers going to the northeastern regions of Argentina, near the borders with Brazil and Paraguay (provinces of Corrientes and Misiones). You should also make sure you have good mosquito protection, as mosquito bites can transmit diseases such as dengue and zika.

8. Vienna, Austria – A Symphony of Love

The capital of classical music constantly enchants visitors with its elegant architecture, vibrant culture, and culinary delights (think Kaiserschmarrn, Sachertorte, Knödel, and more). A concert or a candlelit dinner make Vienna the perfect romantic destination for lovers.

💡 Health Tip: Dress warmly for your romantic winter walks – while a heart full of love keeps you warm, a hat is still the best option for protecting your ears from the cold.

9. Kenya – Romance in the Wilderness

Did you know that the “Lion King” was inspired by the landscapes of Kenya? In addition to impressive landscapes, Kenya offers safaris, lions, elephants and giraffes in their natural habitat and a starry sky that will take your breath away.

💡 Health Tip: Well, a trip to Kenya requires a certain amount of preparation. In addition to good insect repellent including malaria prophylaxis, vaccinations against yellow fever, typhoid fever and rabies are also recommended for certain travelers, as is hepatitis A. If necessary, a booster vaccination against polio may be recommended. Book travel advice early to get all the necessary information, vaccinations and medications.

10. Skopelos, Greece – a Mamma Mia Escape

The island where the cult romance Mamma Mia was filmed offers crystal-clear waters, white houses, and a touch of Greek mythology. Skopelos is the perfect place to enjoy a romantic getaway.

💡 Health Tip: Sunscreen is your best friend on these sunny beaches. Protect your skin so you can enjoy paradise to the fullest. And don't forget the mosquito repellent here either.
