# Romantic Getaway Ideas in Missouri *By James Hills — Updated December 2018* For those that have never visited Missouri, you might be shocked that I'm such a fan of the state. In fact, while Missouri might be simply dismissed by many as, "just another flyover state", the reality is that they've got a fantastic mixture of urban and rural things to do and see here. This includes great food and wine, an opportunity to travel back in time while traveling along Historic Route 66, or taking a riverboat cruise along the Mississippi River. Here are a few that can be found throughout the surprisingly romantic state of Missouri. ## Hop in an RV And Tour Small Towns Along Route 66 When you think or romantic evenings, bed and breakfasts, hotels, and spas are likely to come to mind. These are popular options, but if you’re looking for a romantic trip that’s quirky and memorable, [rent an RV](https://www.outdoorsy.com/rv-rental/missouri/st-louis)! Hit the road and make random stops as you go along, or plan special romantic places to stay along the way. An RV getaway is an especially good option if your idea of spending quality time together includes spending plenty of time outdoors. There are many parks throughout Missouri and the surrounding states that are welcoming to RVs. ### How We Spent A Romantic Weekend Getaway In Fort Wayne, Indiana A romantic getaway to Fort Wayne Indiana, ideas for couples to reconnect and relax.
