| This week: Things are heating up at LP. |  | Bangkok, Thailand | | | | Meet your next romantic getaway | It is a weekend for love, and I am the unofficial baecation editor at Lonely Planet (with good reason). Last year I found myself on not one, but five baecations. What can I say? I love to get away, and I love to drag my boyfriend along with me. Whether we’re eating our way through New Orleans, enjoying a staycation at Rockaway Beach or cozying up at a snow-covered hotel in upstate New York, I have mastered the art of planning the perfect romantic getaway. So, with the experience, knowledge and general passion for the baecation pastime under my belt, I have gathered 10 of the sexiest cities to take your bae, with specific criteria for what makes each one so unbelievably sexy. | I'm a Brooklyn-based writer from Seattle, Washington. Whether I'm exploring the US or abroad, I'm always looking for the best places to eat and the most inviting beaches to spend a sunny afternoon. | | | Romance awaits in these cities | | | | | Copenhagen is home to low-lit wine bars, romantic strolls along waterfronts or along charming streets. There’s no better place to be in love! | | | | | Romantic weekend itinerary | With its stunning architecture and lauded food scene, Mexico City is an ideal romantic weekend getaway, and this sultry itinerary will sweep your bae off their feet. | | | | | Self-love is the greatest love | They say you can’t love another until you fully love yourself, so why not take some time to fall in love with your number one – you! | | | | | Get away from the crowds in Italy | Getting cozy with your partner is far easier when it feels like it's just the two of you. In Friuli Venezia Giulia enjoy wine and incredible food, with the added joy of having Italy's signature la dolce vita all to yourselves. | | | |  | Adrian Stevens and Sean Snyder, two Native American artists and dancers in Nevada | | | | Reader question: I’d love to spend a few days in Costa Rica but I honestly don’t know where to start. What do you suggest? LP recommendation: We have four distinct itineraries here that will set you on the right track, whether you want to reset by a beautiful beach or enjoy cliff-top adventures in cloud forests. If you’re traveling with kids, this should help, too, and if you’d like to surf (or learn how), here's where to go.
