Pure romance: 30 ideas for unforgettable hours for two

Table of contents

A classic scenario: You lie on the couch with your partner and switch from left to right on the remote control with a bored look. As nice as these “Netflix & Chill” evenings can be, sometimes a little variety can do us a lot of good. The only question is: what?

We have collected a total of 30 activities for you that guarantee a lot of fun and provide a breath of fresh air in your everyday relationship. So: get inspired and have fun imitating!

1. Draw each other

Whether in oil, watercolor, colored pencils or ballpoint pen: Try to put each other on paper. You don't have to be Picasso to do this either. And if it looks clumsy and funny: all the better!

2. Try a new sport

Sport is always a good activity for two. How about climbing in the climbing hall? Or (re)discover cycling together and explore the most beautiful green routes in the area? It will be most exciting if you do a sport that challenges both of you and that neither of you can already do.

3. Blind date with a difference: eating in the dark

Blindfold while eating, feed each other and guess tastes - why not? It sounds childish, but it's a real experience. So if you're ever wondering what crazy things you can do with your partner, you should plan your dinner differently. You will see: If you don't see anything, the taste experience is suddenly completely different.

4. Dance the night away at a club

This is often only done with larger groups of friends. A night of drinking on the streets of the city is also a wonderful activity for lovers. Just dance the night away with your loved one until the sun comes up and then eat a huge portion of fries together at five in the morning. Splendid!

5. Take a night walk

Always worth an idea for things to do as a couple: just do things you do during the day at night. For example, why only go out into nature when the sun is shining? A night walk like this is extremely romantic - especially BECAUSE it's a little spooky. Also good: go swimming together at night.

6. Go to the theme park

Be a child again: go to the ghost train together, take a photo with Mickey Mouse, eat cotton candy together - all for a whole day. An amusement park like this is also a lot of fun for two.

7. Visit the zoo again

Giraffes, sea lions, elephants and meerkats: a day at the zoo is a very special feeling. There's a bit of melancholy in it because you're reminded of your old childhood days, because it's a little old school and because the animals should actually be running around in the wild. But at the same time it is also fascinating to experience the different animal species so close and live.

Many zoos also offer special evenings in summer where you can walk through the park and discover nocturnal animals.

8. City trip: It doesn't always have to be Paris

Drive to a nearby city or a small town that you don't know yet - it doesn't have to be the typical "city trip cities" like Paris or London. Sometimes beauty is very close. Which cities in Germany have you ever really consciously visited?

9. Paint the apartment a new color or completely rearrange it

Spruce up your own four walls, just try out a crazy color in the kitchen and then be happy that it's so beautiful at home. A venture for lovers where you can be active and creative together and where you (usually) get a great result that you can enjoy together.

10. Make the ice cream tester

Cookies & Cream, tiramisu and coconut ice cream: Buy lots of different types of ice cream together, a real iceberg with flags and umbrellas, sauces and colorful sprinkles. Then you do the ultimate ice cream test. Or you can design completely new ice cream creations together. Spaghetti ice cream was yesterday. You just never treat yourself to something like that alone.

11. Accompany a day with the disposable camera

Create your photo love story: Buy a disposable camera - yes, the one where you can't see the pictures directly, like on a cell phone - and take a photo of you and your sweetheart sharing a day together. A nice memory for which you have to be patient. And when you pick up the photos from development, it's really exciting to see what you've photographed. Beautiful without filters!

12. Pick the other person up from work and surprise them with a date

Activities are often particularly nice when one of them surprises the other. And in this case, it's the little things that bring joy to the person you love.

Just surprise your boyfriend or girlfriend: pick him or her up from work and go pedal boating in the evening sun. Whatever you do: spontaneity gives many activities a very special magic.

13. Ride the tourist bus through your own city

What do you actually know about your own city? Often you just walk through the same streets and don't even know many corners of the city. When someone comes to visit and asks what they should see in the city, they are at a loss. Therefore: Go on a tourist tour yourself! Buy a ticket for the tourist bus in your city and off you go.

14. Sleep in the open air

Just sleeping outside under the stars in the summer is great. The warm night air, the sounds of the night, the wind in your face. If you don't have a garden, take the mattresses out onto the balcony. Super romantic.

15. Raid the bar together

You've had this bottle of French liqueur and this green mixer for years that no one knows what to mix it with? Then play the bartender and experiment a little. Whoever manages to create a suitable drink will have the drink named after them.

16. Treat yourself to a wellness day together

This is pure enjoyment: Dive into the wellness oasis together and enjoy. Our tips to combat boredom: massage, sound pool, sauna and whirlpool – treat yourself to the full program! This activity for two is guaranteed to make you float home afterwards.

17. Write love letters

Not really an activity for couples, but still a nice idea: Write each other in a letter what you like about each other. It's not that easy to put into words - but it's wonderful for each other. You can then read your letters to each other when you get the chance or secretly hide them in each other's pockets or jackets. Also beautiful.

22. Dress up and look at luxury apartments you could never afford

Are there these chic, magnificent old buildings in your city that you would love to live in? Are you also impressed by the luxury lofts at the harbor? Then get dressed up and let the agent show you the chic properties. Playing the rich couple together should give you even more fun.

23. Ab ins Autokino!

Of course only with popcorn and cola – and then the classic way to snog. If you don't have a drive-in cinema near you, you can also make out in a normal cinema. Then off to the last row with you!

24. Swings in a children's playground at night

Instead of getting in a taxi after the party and rushing home, you should end the evening romantically in a children's playground. Romance: 12 points!

25. Have a picnic – in the park at night

Also more than romantic for an evening together: a night-time picnic with sparkling water, candles and lots of delicacies. And pop at least one cork. Music isn't bad either and a soft blanket to sit on anyway.

And if you don't feel comfortable in the park at night, you can also have a picnic in your own four walls. Simply spread the picnic blanket out on the floor of your apartment. With some background music and some fairy lights it feels a lot more special.

26. Run through the rain together

You see it in every film and think it's totally romantic - but then you never do it yourself. It's great to run (or dance) through the rain together. Put on your rain jackets and rubber boots and off you go!

The best way to warm up afterwards is in the shower together.
