Places To Take Your Love This Valentine’s Day
We just got through with the Christmas season, but that means Valentine’s Day is right around the corner. Don’t let the celebration creep up on you without confirming plans to make your special someone feel extra special. We’ve put together a list of some of the most romantic places in the world where you can get away with your beloved for the most romantic time of year.
1. Venice, Italy
More than 350 bridges over the water canals of Venice make it a great place to take a romantic walk with the one you love. Saint Peter’s Basilica is a feast for your eyes, and you and your love can cruise on a romantic gondola ride through the canals of the city. Venice’s main attractions can get crowded with tourists and lovers, but you and your special someone can traverse the less-travelled side streets that each lead to hidden corners with beautiful views that you can share in privacy.
2. Paris, France
The City of Lights always gets top marks for romance, and is it any wonder why? Lovers can spend the day at the Louvre, seeing art made centuries ago from one lover to another. Wander the cobblestone streets of Montmarte, enjoying the views from the Sacre Coeur. Stop in at a boulangerie for a buttery pastry, and enjoy a stroll hand-in-hand in the beautiful Tuileries Gardens. For the ultimate in Parisian romance, take a picnic for two along the Seine, sharing a baguette, brie and bottle of wine.
3. Kilimanjaro, Tanzania
For many people, climbing Mount Kilimanjaro is a life bucket experience. And what better way to experience such a monumental event than with the one you love. To share a tent, support each other through acclimatisation, and conquer this beautiful natural wonder can only bring two people closer together. What an amazing experience to share with the person you love the most.
4. Bangkok, Thailand
With its street markets, temples and tuk-tuks, Bangkok is the city that never sleeps, with beauty and adventure waiting for you and your beloved around every corner. You can try local flavours at the street markets or eat at fine dining restaurants, explore the city streets from the back of a tuk-tuk, and wind down with a relaxing couple’s Thai massage. Bangkok’s ancient culture mixed in with big city living means you and your love will find romance around every corner.
5. Seychelles
The sheer beauty of the Seychelles archipelago makes it the destination of choice for couples whose idea of romance is sitting in the shade on a white sand beach, drink in hand, taking in the sparkling waves of the Indian ocean. In fact, the island of Praslin – one of 116 in the Seychelles – was once thought to be the Garden of Eden. If you and your love are so inclined, the island’s indigenous coconuts, nicknamed “love nuts” are often consumed as aphrodisiacs.
