"Travel to Romantis" is the third single from Flowers, an album by Swedish pop band Ace of Base. The song was released on 16 November 1998 in Germany and Scandinavia and followed the singles "Life Is a Flower" and "Cruel Summer".
Quentin Harrison of Albumism said in his retrospective review of Flowers, that the band "construct whole worlds of ennui and escapism for listeners to experience" via songs like "Travel to Romantis".[2] Swedish newspaper Expressen commented that it "is Neil Sedakas One Way Ticket (to the Blues) such as one early Modern Talking would have made it."[3] Gary Shipes from The Stuart News described it as "a frothy gallop which reintroduces early '90s Eurodance to late '90s ennui."[4]
A music video was produced to promote the single. The video was directed by Andy Neumann. Linn Berggren appeared in the video, however only for a few seconds.
