I think the best way to destress is to go for a walk. And to make a large part of the travel on foot. Johann Gottfried Seume wrote: ‘You only can study a country by walking. You can not get in touch with a country by driving’ Seume wrote this about 200 years ago and he didn’t mean automobiles. He spoke about horse-drawn carriages!

These are some great tips! I agree with long meals, when we do that in Italy, all our cares melt away. A little wine here and there doesn’t hurt, either.

I agree – actually, trying to do too much is probably the cause of a lot of the travel stress out there. There should always be time for a three-hour dinner!

Why go if one is going to be stressed, right? Good ideas! I think the best way to destress with travel is to go slow and not try to do too much. Immersing deeply is so much more rewarding than rushing here and there. Less is more. Take two or three hour meals with new friends, take whole days off just to play.
