When you build a billion-dollar empire that Blackstone acquires, we think you’ve made it in life. Hats off to Reese Witherspoon, who defines “role model” for everyone, especially on this International Women’s Day.
Reese Witherspoon is not just an Oscar-winning actress and producer; she’s a globe-trotting, book-loving, powerhouse of a woman who knows how to mix work, play, and a little bit of wanderlust. Whether she’s promoting female-driven storytelling, taking a well-earned break, or just soaking in some European charm, her travels are as inspiring as her career. In honor of International Women’s Day, we’re taking a look at some of the incredible destinations she’s visited and why you might want to add them to your bucket list.
Sweden
Reese visited Sweden while spotlighting Where the Crawdads Sing for her book club (because what’s better than reading a gripping novel in a Nordic wonderland?). But beyond books, Sweden is a dream for anyone obsessed with minimalist design, cozy cafés, and nature. Sweden’s capital, Stockholm, is idyllic if you love a mix of history and modern design. Explore Gamla Stan (Old Town) for medieval architecture, visit the Vasa Museum to see a real 17th-century warship, or embrace the Swedish way of life with a fika break (coffee and pastries, anyone?). If you’re into the great outdoors, Swedish Lapland delivers Northern Lights views and endless winter activities like dog sledding and reindeer safaris.
Where to stay: Ett Hem, Stockholm
Denmark
While visiting Copenhagen, Reese fully leaned into Denmark’s famed cozy lifestyle — hygge (pronounced hoo-gah), aka the art of enjoying life’s simple pleasures. Copenhagen is where modernity and history collide — Tivoli Gardens (which inspired Walt Disney himself) brings vintage amusement park charm, while the Nyhavn waterfront is straight out of a postcard. For foodies, Noma, one of the world’s best restaurants awaits, if you can snag a reservation. The Danish capital is also one of the most bike-friendly cities in the world, so you can cruise around like a local.
Where to stay: The Nimb, Copenhagen
Croatia
Reese has been spotted enjoying Croatia’s stunning coast with her girls, and honestly, who wouldn’t? With crystal-clear waters, ancient cities, and Game of Thrones filming locations, this Adriatic gem is the place to be. Dubrovnik, with its medieval walls and cliffside bars, is a must-visit. Split’s Diocletian’s Palace lets you time-travel to the Roman era. The islands are beautiful, Hvar’s nightlife is top-tier, Vis is for off-the-grid escapes, and Korčula is a wine lover’s paradise. And if you’re after something quieter, the Plitvice Lakes National Park, with cascading waterfalls and electric blue lakes, is straight out of a fantasy novel.
Where to stay: Hotel Dubrovnik Palace, Dubrovnik
Italy
Italy and Reese are a match made in heaven — she’s been seen exploring its cities and soaking up all the dolce vita vibes. From Rome’s cinematic grandeur to Florence’s artistic soul, every part of Italy brings something special. The Amalfi Coast is all about dramatic cliffs, lemon groves, and seaside glamour. Milan is where high fashion meets rich history. When it comes to the food scene, you can eat all your weight in fresh pasta, gelato, and truffle-laced everything. And if you prefer the road less traveled, head to Puglia for whitewashed villages and some of the best olive oil you’ll ever taste.
