The Better Romantic Getaways For Valentines Day
By John Rafter
The most treasured moments in life may be a smile,
a soft brush of the lips or a longing embrace before
saying goodbye. These should be daily occurrences though,
yet to experience a really romantic Valentine, you’ll
need to find the perfect setting to convey your love
and create lasting memories.
Imagine a gondola ride in Venice or snorkeling in the
Bahamas. How could you not be filled with love, given
that backdrop? Here are some tips for going over-the-top
to get that much-needed rest and express your adoration
for one another by experiencing something new together.
The City Of Lights Is The Most Romantic City
Unanimously, Paris, France wins as the most romantic
city, worldwide. Many people flock to the City of Lights
for Valentines Day. Known for exemplary wines, stunning
architecture and picturesque locations, you’ll undoubtedly
have one of the most romantic Valentine Days ever.
The Chateau de Versailles is a must-see, which is the
former residence of the King of France converted into
a museum of priceless art. The Louvre is another museum
to share your appreciation of all that is beautiful.
For a stunning view of the city, try the Eiffel Tower,
the Arc de Triomphe and Notre Dame.
Experience The City By Water
The Champs Elyssee is a great place to eat, buy a bottle
of wine and check out the French cafe scene. The Seine
River is best seen by cruise, so once you’re done kissing
on one of the many Paris bridges, take a little excursion
to experience the full beauty of the city by water.
Have you ever seen The Sound of Music? The gorgeous
wildflowers, rolling mountain foothills and verdant
fields were filmed in Vienna, Austria, which is another
of the most romantic destinations for Valentines Day.
Not only will you behold the natural beauty of the Danube
River and the Swiss Alps, but you’ll also be treated
to Romanesque, Baroque and Classic architecture.
Austrian Getaway For Valentines Day
From December 31 through to March 10, Vienna is known
for hosting numerous high-class balls accompanied by
full orchestral ensembles. In Wachau, you’ll see ruined
castles, the countryside filled with wineries and the
Danube. For the snowbirds, St. Anton has some of the
best skiing in the world. Austria is one of the best
Valentines Day ideas you could conjure up.
If you and your partner are looking for off-the-beaten
path locations for Valentines Day, then you can try
Monaco, Barcelona, Reykjavik and Marrakech, says the
Association of Independent Tour Operators. "People
want to do something a little bit different - they are
so well traveled at this point.
Monaco Is Near The French And Italian Riviera
They have done a lot of the major cities and now they
want something a bit different," AITO explains.
Monaco, situated near the French Riviera and the Italian
Riviera, offers romantic Valentines views in a Mediterranean
climate, as well as a thriving nightlife, with opera
performances and world-class dining. In Barcelona, you
can visit boutique hotels and some of the world’s best
beaches.
The Icelandic capital Reykjavik is often overlooked,
but offers magnificent landscapes, historic architecture
and superb spa facilities. In Marrakech, you’ll stay
in quaint hotels, indulge in Moroccan meals and witness
live music with belly dancing performances. Why settle
for less?
