From Spain to Oxford to Texas—romantic travel movies that melt your heart. Take our quiz & see where love + wanderlust will take you next!
Here are the three movies that melted my heart with their cinematography, iconic locations, and timeless romance, plus a fun quiz to find your dream destination.
The Map That Leads to You

“A love story written in journals and found in journeys.”
Follow a young writer retracing his great-grandfather’s travels across Spain, guided by a handwritten journal from World War II era. A chance encounter in Barcelona sparks a romance that weaves through historic plazas and coastal trains. The film’s nostalgic charm, with handwritten journal entries capturing another era, stole my heart. Though the ending is bittersweet, the journey through Spain’s cobblestone streets and sunny vineyards is unforgettable. After watching, I added Granada’s Alhambra to my travel list! Moreover, the movie’s been adapted from J.P. Monninger’s novel and that is going with me on my trip.
Streaming on: Amazon Prime
Travel Tip: Book a Eurail pass to explore Spain’s scenic routes, from Barcelona to Seville.
The Wrong Paris

“Sometimes, the wrong Paris is exactly where you’re meant to be.”
This lively rom-com follows a young artist dreaming of art school in Paris, France, but struggling financially. Encouraged by her sister, she joins a reality show, HoneyTrap, only to land in Paris, Texas. A charming ranch owner flips her world, sparking love amidst jealousies and surprises. The sunny Texas plains and playful romance make this a perfect watch-me-now. I’m now dreaming of visiting Paris, Texas, and also the original French Paris with the iconic Eiffel Tower, wearing cowboy boots and a cowboy hat!

Travel Tip: Visit Paris, Texas, for a quirky day trip and then head to Paris, France to see the Eiffel Tower.
My Oxford Year

“A fleeting year, a forever love.”
Set among Oxford’s historic Radcliffe Camera and candle-lit halls, this film follows a young scholar whose year abroad becomes a whirlwind of love and self-discovery. The dreamy libraries, old-world dances, and clash of American and English cultures create a bittersweet romance that lingers. After watching, I want to find a partner to write love letters to, and explore Europe with.
Streaming on: Netflix
Travel Tip: Stroll Oxford’s Bridge of Sighs and enjoy a pint at a historic pub like The Eagle and Child.
