Whether you're drawn to the energy of Seoul, the historic charm of Edinburgh, or the sun-soaked beaches of Greece, one thing is certain: your next holiday destination may already be hiding in your watchlist.
What if your next getaway was chosen according to your favourite TV series? After all, some shows create such a distinctive atmosphere that they make you want to experience it in real life. The buzz of Seoul in XO, Kitty, the romance of London in Bridgerton, the mysterious ambience of Edinburgh in Outlander, or the long summer days of The Summer I Turned Pretty—each series has its own world, rhythm, and mood. The good news? Our team at EnVols reveals which destination suits you best based on your favourite series.
Discover your perfect summer destination according to your favourite series
Off Campus: Montreal, Canada
Adapted from Elle Kennedy’s bestselling book series, Off Campus immerses viewers in the world of North American university campuses, romance, and ice hockey. To recapture that distinctive student atmosphere — and find your own hockey player — head to Montreal. Although the show was shot in Vancouver (and the shooting of season two has already begun!), Quebec’s largest city is renowned for its unique blend of European and North American influences, trendy cafés, lively neighbourhoods, and passion for hockey. It’s the perfect place to live out your own university romance.
Sweet Magnolias: Rome, Italy
The stories of love, friendship, and personal growth told in Sweet Magnolias evoke a slower pace of life and an appreciation for simple pleasures. What better destination than Rome to embrace that philosophy? The Eternal City invites visitors to take their time, wander through historic piazzas, enjoy artisan gelato, and relax on sun-drenched terraces. It's the perfect backdrop for an emotional and romantic escape.
XO, Kitty: Seoul, South Korea
It’s impossible to watch XO, Kitty without dreaming of a trip to South Korea. The series follows Kitty Song Covey as she navigates love, friendship, and her family roots in the South Korean capital. Seoul captivates visitors with its unique energy: historic palaces, ultra-modern districts, fashionable cafés, K-beauty shops, and street food on every corner. It’s a destination that appeals equally to K-drama enthusiasts and travellers seeking a blend of modernity and tradition.
My Life with the Walter Boys: Copenhagen, Denmark
With its blend of spontaneity, open spaces, and relationships that develop away from the bustle of major cities, My Life with the Walter Boys exudes a warm and laid-back charm. To capture that feeling, make your way to Copenhagen. Denmark’s capital is known for its relaxed pace, waterside residential districts, and extensive cycle paths. From cycling along the canals to enjoying cosy cafés and green spaces perfect for an afternoon outdoors, the city offers the same sense of freedom and simplicity that defines the series.
The Summer I Turned Pretty: Syros, Greece
While the fictional town of Cousins Beach doesn’t exist, the world of The Summer I Turned Pretty is all about seaside living. To recreate that atmosphere of summer romance, lazy days by the water, and unforgettable sunsets, head to the Greek island of Syros. This jewel of the Cyclades perfectly captures the carefree spirit of long summer holidays. With its sun-drenched beaches, crystal-clear coves, and picturesque villages where time seems to slow down, Syros embodies the nostalgia, first loves, and summer magic that make the series so enchanting.
Bridgerton: London, England
Since its debut, Bridgerton has reignited interest in the splendour of the Regency era. Although many scenes were filmed across various British country estates, London remains at the heart of this elegant world. From royal parks and graceful Georgian squares to palaces and traditional tea rooms, the British capital offers visitors the chance to immerse themselves in the romantic atmosphere that has made the series such a success.
Love Story: New York City, United States
Some cities are inseparable from romance and television, and New York is certainly one of them. Most recently, the series Love Story has brought renewed attention to the famously tragic romance between Carolyn Bessette and John F. Kennedy Jr. With its iconic skyscrapers, Central Park, legendary cafés, and bustling streets, New York remains one of the world’s most romantic destinations. It can be enjoyed year-round, but somehow feels especially magical during the summer months.
Outlander: Edinburgh, Scotland
For lovers of history and dramatic landscapes, it’s hard to resist the allure of Scotland after watching Outlander. Edinburgh is the perfect gateway to the world of Claire and Jamie Fraser. Its medieval Old Town, winding closes, imposing castle, and timeless atmosphere make visitors feel as though they have travelled back several centuries.
