Romance All Year Round: Where to Go as a Couple on February 14 and Beyond
Valentine's Day only comes around once a year. But who says romantic dates and trips have to be limited to this date? They can range from an exciting adventure in a new city to conquering mountain peaks. Why not make these moments a part of your life more often? We've gathered ideas that will not only help you turn February 14 into a bright holiday, but also add more romance to your everyday life.
Ideas for Trips Together
Winter Walk for Two
Imagine strolling through a snow-covered park with a thermos of hot mulled wine or climbing to a viewpoint to admire the city’s evening lights.
How about ice skating or sledding, especially if you haven’t done it for a while? Laughter, falls, and warm embraces will make this day truly magical. Afterwards, you can head to a cozy café to warm up with a cup of fragrant tea or cocoa. The main thing is to spend time together and enjoy moments that will remain in your memory as the warmest and most sincere.
Road Trip
There’s something so romantic about tossing the essentials into the trunk and hitting scenic routes. Breathe in the spirit of freedom as every kilometer reveals something new. You might choose an old town with narrow streets, cozy cafés, and museums or head to nature to enjoy peace and quiet.
The romance of the road lies not only in the destination but in the journey itself: conversations accompanied by your favorite music, a warm blanket on the back seat, and hot coffee at a gas station create an atmosphere of closeness and warmth.
Romantic Dinner at a Hotel
Many hotels offer special packages for February 14th, including dinners with exquisite menus for two. This is a great idea if you want to spend the evening in a comfortable and stylish setting without leaving the hotel. Book a room with a panoramic view to enjoy the romantic atmosphere throughout the evening. Soft lighting, gourmet dishes, and music set a magical mood. End the dinner with a glass of sparkling wine and dessert right in your room.
Such romantic hotel options are available not only on Valentine’s Day but all year round, so your dates can always be special.
SPA Retreat for Two
If you want to spend time together and relax, spa centers are the optimal choice. Couple massages, hydro-massage baths, saunas, and hammams help you forget the hustle and bustle, while the jacuzzi provides comfort and tranquility. This kind of rest strengthens your feelings and makes the day truly special. Dinner at the restaurant and a cup of aromatic tea will be a perfect end to the evening.
Active Leisure
If you love adventure, choose romantic weekends filled with active recreation. Try skiing or snowmobiling, dog sledding or even winter fishing — such trips will give you unforgettable emotions. At sports centers, you can try rock climbing or karting, and couple dance lessons like tango or salsa will add romance. This kind of rest will energize you and strengthen your relationship.
Romantic Cities in Russia
Saint Petersburg
Romantic holidays in Saint Petersburg mean immersing yourself in refined beauty and historic grandeur. In summer, it’s the city of white nights and drawbridges. But even in winter, it captivates with its special romance. Nevsky Prospect with its evening lights, Palace Square surrounded by majestic architecture, and the Neva embankments in a frosty haze seem made for walks and dates together.
One of the symbols of love here is the Kiss Bridge. Legend says that lovers who kiss here will gain strong relationships and happiness. The longer their kiss, the happier their days together will be.
Sochi and Krasnaya Polyana
