Undoubtedly, St. Valentine\u2019s Day is the sweetest day of the year. It\u2019s a day for love, tenderness, and affection. It\u2019s the day when sweethearts take the chance to make their \u201cI L\u2665ve You\u201d more meaningful. So why not plan a romantic trip across Europe<\/strong> to celebrate this loving day somewhere special with the one you love? Let\u2019s take a look at the best St. Valentine\u2019s Day-destinations around the cradle of Romanticism.<\/p>\n

Perhaps the Romantic Period<\/a> has very little to do with love in its purest meaning, but considering that William Wordsworth thought poetry was a\u00a0spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings,<\/em> well, that\u2019s Love! So let\u2019s start our journey right from Wordsworth\u2019s homeland, England.<\/p>\n

Valentine\u2019s Day in London<\/h3>\n

London might be rainy and cold in this period, but this doesn\u2019t mean that it\u2019s not a romantic city! Treat yourself to a 5-heart hotel and a romantic dinner, then enjoy a memorable sunset along the Thames<\/strong>, and don\u2019t forget to save some time for the city\u2019s historic monuments and art galleries. If you’re planning your Valentine’s day in the Uk capital city, take a look at our hotel deals in London from \u00a3 10<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Valentine\u2019s Day in Venice<\/h3>\n

In Italy, Venice has just came out from its legendary Carnival, and has two days left to put aside masks and make itself up again to be the customary \u201cCity of Love\u201d. Built as it is on the water, spread over of 117 islands, separated by 177 canals and connected by over 400 bridges, all the love affairs and famous lovers that have made it famous throughout the world, the entire history of Venice is thoroughly linked to Cupid, always ready to shoot his arrows and renew your promises of love. A Valentine\u2019s Day package in Venice includes a ride along the canals in a covered Gondola<\/strong>, a stroll in St. Mark\u2019s Square, a candlelight dinner and a night in a 5 star luxury hotel in Venice<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Valentine\u2019s Day in Paris<\/h3>\n

France is synonym with love and romanticism too, this makes it a sought after destination by couples on St. Valentine\u2019s. And of course Paris, the City of Lights, stands on the top of the list. A magic dinner cruise on River Seine<\/a> may be the best way to celebrate an unforgettable St. Valentine\u2019s Day.<\/p>\n

Valentine\u2019s Day in Barcelona<\/h3>\n

San Valentin in Spain is perfect for party animals, as cities like Barcelona, Madrid or Valencia assure mild weather and lots of liveliness. The most passionate way to spend St. Valentine\u2019s in Spain is a Flamenco show & dinner,<\/strong> or an exciting hot air balloon ride from Barcelona. By the way, if you can\u2019t make it for February 14th, there\u2019s a second Valentine\u2019s Day in Catalonia. It\u2019s on April 23rd, when Spaniards honor St. George\u2019s romantic gesture of saving the princess from the dragon. This makes it a day for lovers too, at least in Barcelona, and gentlemen usually buy their loved ones a book! Barcelona, is your destination?

Valentine\u2019s Day in Scandinavia<\/h3>\n

Although Northern countries\u2019 renowned chilliness, cities like Oslo or Copenhagen boast some of the most romantic hotels in Europe, besides lovely spots where to spend a delightful night out with your Valentine<\/strong>. Moreover, if you\u2019re planning a romantic getaway to Scandinavia, don\u2019t miss out on Denmark\u2019s lovely castles and Iceland\u2019s Blue Lagoon. Keeping an eye on the new day to come, greeted by the striking phenomenon of Northern Lights. Finland, instead, is a bit more wide-ranging, as here the celebration of love is known as Ystavanpaiva, that is, Friend\u2019s Day. Therefore, if you choose Finland, you can either go with your soul mate or best friend or both!<\/p>\n

Wherever you go, whatever you do, however you spend this day, always remember that hearts, flowers, chocolates, a romantic dinner and \u201cI love yous\u201d are mandatory on Valentine\u2019s Day. And always remember that couples are in love every single day, not only on St. Valentine\u2019s!<\/p>\n
