Did you watch the recent Oscars? It was a night filled with glam, glitz and a lot of celebrities! We also can’t forget all of the great movies that were nominated. Oscar lovers don’t have to be sad that the show is over as they can take part in some travel adventures that have been inspired by the Oscars.
Movie: Call Me By Your Name
Destination: Northern Italy
Mood: Romance
If you are into romance, take a trip to Northern Italy to go on a vacation inspired by the movie “Call Me By Your Name”. The movie’s main characters, Elio and Oliver, spend time together dancing, swimming and exploring the hillsides. You can have a similar experience of your own on this type of trip. Consider renting a villa for some privacy and then spending your days driving up the coast and stopping along the way to explore with your loved one.
Movie: Coco
Location: Mexico City
Mood: Culture
While the movie “Coco” was originally geared towards kids, many adults have fallen in love with this Pixar film. The movie showcases a lot of the culture in Mexico in a fun, animated way. Take a trip to Mexico City to explore the plazas, walk down the cobblestone streets and marvel at the old buildings. If you are looking for a truly amazing place to stay, head over to The Gran Hotel Ciudad de Mexico. It has stained glass ceilings that are truly magnificent.
Movie: Darkest Hour
Destination: London
Mood: History Seeking
Are you a history buff looking to see a different side of London? If so then take a trip to London that is inspired by the movie, “Darkest Hour”. The setting dates back to the days when Winston Churchill was the prime minister. On your trip make sure you visit places that were in the movie like Downing Street, Buckingham Palace and Big Ben. Don’t forget to take a break from it all and partake in some afternoon tea so that you can relax and reminisce about all of your adventures with your travel mates.
Movie: Lady Bird
Location: Sacramento
Mood: Reliving Your Youth
You don’t even need to leave the United States to go on an Oscar inspired vacation. We’ve all experienced feeling lost and trying to find our way at times as a teenager. The movie “Lady Bird” features a teenage girl that is assertive and trying to figure out what she wants to do with her life. On this type of trip you can easily spend a few days in Sacramento enjoying the sunshine and a more laid back vibe than Los Angeles or Hollywood. Spend time at the Crocker Art Museum or Sutter’s Fort.
