1. Love challenges for couples: have the Spaghetti-kiss scene
Number one needs to be our favourite one of the couple challenges straightaway! Don’t we all know how to share Spaghetti in a romantic way? Especially seeing that scene from the Disney movie “Lady and the Tramp’, where the two dogs end up eating the same Spaghetti noodle on each end coming closer and closer for the ultimate kiss? Go for it! Ignore the eyes from those around you…
2. Sweet couple challenge: Italian nickname
Italian is one of the most romantic languages in the world. Of course, you need to make wise use of this! For instance, find each other a sweet Italian nickname and that’s the only name allowed during this whole trip. Need some help starting?
- Tesoro mio: my treasure
- Principino: Little Prince
- Dolcezza: sweetest girl
- Scimmietta: little monkey (her)
3. Adventurous couples, hike Cinque Terre holding hands
Cinque Terre is a real hotspot in Italy where many couples go to find some romance. That is also due to the scenery which makes it a great destination for wedding photoshoots as well. You can make this visit more active by doing, for example, the Cinque Terre hike in between several villages with the most wonderful views. Want to make it extra special? Hold each other’s hands while hiking and do not let go under any circumstances. That’s surely a really fun challenge!
4. A travel couples love song playlist for each other
Doing a road trip in Italy? A playlist with great music is without a doubt a must! Prepare a playlist for each other with love songs or songs you know your partner will like. To point out that this is also a real test to see how well you actually know each other. Want to have romance on full volume with some deeper connection? Add the ones with real, honest and relatable lyrics.
5. Have a picnic on top of a cliff in Puglia
Puglia has some beautiful ocean viewpoints. There are some beaches around but also many cliffs. Find that romantic spot and take the picnic basket out for some great couple time. Breakfast, lunch or dinner? Sure, whatever you feel like! Would you like to read more about a trip to Puglia, check our post PUGLIA, ITALY TRAVEL GUIDE – THE MUST DO 7 DAY ITINERARY.
6. Fun challenges for couples sing a serenade under a typical Italian balcony
If you know the story of Romeo and Juliet you understand this challenge. As considered by many, one of the most famous movies scenes ever shot in Verona. Therefore it is a must on this list! Juliet stands on a balcony and Romeo below in the garden. Romeo and Juliet declare their love and their bond for a lifetime. Thus, time to find that balcony for your romantic serenade!
7. Learn Italian love words from a local
Don’t we all like to learn some new language skills along the trip? The first thing to remember here is to be sure of what you are learning! In this situation learn some Italian words to express your love. For example for waking up, before going to sleep, to compliment or to tease a bit. Lastly, locals will be most likely happy to help you with this!
8. Take a typical leaning tower of Pisa photo
Oh we love these, another fun challenge for couples! The very touristic photos of holding the leaning tower of Pisa. Yes we have to be honest, we did some of those too and it was fun! Generally, it requires real coordination and communication between the two of you to get that shot perfect. Fun and good memories guaranteed!
9. Couple challenges on a Vespa

You also have opportunities to explore the countryside like romantic Tuscany with just the two of you rolling around. Did you know that there are even options to book trips for multiple days? Check “The Vespa trip” for more information. Jump on the Vespa, sit and hold tight!
10. Pick your partners Italian ice cream flavour
Italy is one of the countries where you MUST try the ice cream. They have so many flavours you never heard of before like Tiramisu. Time to do some tasting! Pick your partners ice cream flavour without telling what it will be. Let’s see if you know what your partner loves and if your partner can guess what it is! But also a great opportunity to try something new instead of sticking to those flavours we already love and always pick.
