To help you make the most of your getaway and avoid becoming a set of bummed-out lovebirds, here are six tips to help plan your adventure.

Reserve a Hotel Known for Love

When planning a couples getaway, the setting can make all the difference. Choosing a hotel that you would normally stay in for family getaways or business ventures is often the easiest way to go, but it’s most often not the best decision when you’re looking for some one-on-one time with the love of your life. Make sure to do your research on the best hotels known for love in Nashville before booking your stay.

Consider the overall nature of the hotel. Is it built for families, or does it offer more grown-up amenities like a massage spa, poolside bar, and packages that will inspire romance? Then, look at the distance from places that you have on your to-see list including fabulous food and attractions. Don’t forget to read those reviews as that is your best resource for information about the hotel experience from those who know best, the guests themselves.

Deciding on a Travel Budget

Money is often the last thing we think about when planning a getaway with the one we love. You make think you have enough money in your travel budget set aside for random shopping, planned entertainment, and dining. But what about those tips, taxi expenses, parking fees, and any emergencies that may arise?

Plan ahead to be sure that you have enough money for all the activities, meals, and hotel, plus spending money. Then add a few hundred more for unseen expenses. No one ever said that coming home with leftover cash was a bad thing.

Plan Your Things to See and Do List

The best way to make the most of your time in Music City is to plan a bit ahead. Sit down as a couple and make a list of things to do in Nashville. While you may be a history buff and are itching to visit The Hermitage, the home of President Andrew Jackson, your significant other may be more inclined to head to the Musicians Hall of Fame and Museum. Find that happy middle ground and be sure to leave some quiet time for each other along the way as well.

Don’t forget that Nashville is a big city with tons to see and do. Getting caught off guard by a lack of planning can leave you spending more time driving than experiencing all this great city has to offer. You can also visit this link to help you plan your activities for your next trip!

Have a Plan for We Time

If you’re planning a romantic couples getaway to Nashville, chances are you want some time enjoying just being together. Go ahead and book that couples massage, or go the extra mile with a reserved table by the water. Even the smallest moments can create the best memories. Most importantly, just have fun!
