At one time, Reno, Nevada had the reputation of being the Divorce Capital of the World. So with that in mind, you may not think of Reno in terms of romance.
But it’s time to change what you think about Reno because it can be a very romantic travel destination for couples. I think you’ll be convinced once you check out the romantic excursions on this list. We came up with fifteen incredibly romantic things for you and your partner to do while you are vacationing in Reno.
1. Downtown Pedicab Motorized Tour
Taking a pedicab tour of downtown Reno is a great way to see Reno’s wonderful downtown area. But it also be quite romantic. The intimate way you can sit side by side with your partner makes for a very romantic trip. And a bonus for couples who are climate conscious: this is a zero-emission tour.
And it is a great tour, too. You get to see the Reno Strip, Wingfield Park, and both the Reno Arches. You also get to learn about the history of Reno, Nevada and the Truckee River from your knowledgable guide.
