Valentine’s Day, the February 14th festival of love that’s decried and celebrated in equal measure is fast approaching, though for many couples the task of deciding whether or not to do the tried and tested dinner and drinks, or alternatively opting for something altogether more different, can be a difficult task. Banish the tired dinner out this year however- jostling around town with a million other couples is pretty over rated anyway- and go abroad for a romantic getaway!

Vienna

During February snowy Vienna, the capital of Austria, can be a magical place to visit for couples in love. The city is positively bursting with artistic and cultural offerings; the Burgtheater, supposedly one of the best theatres in the German-speaking world, is located here, and the Volkstheater Wien and Theater in der Josefstadt are both amazing places to visit, drawing from the city’s musical heritage that boasts names such as Mozart, Haydn and Brahms. Whilst in Vienna, make sure to stay at The Ring hotel, a casual yet definitely grand location that is perfect for people staying within the confines of the city itself.

Las Vegas

One of the US’ most well known and highly regarded cities, Vegas is a great choice for couples wishing to get away over the Valentine’s Day break. As well as being delightfully warm compared to more northern climes, the city is electrifying to stay in, the constant energy and excitement enjoyed in the city proving a huge boon for visitors. The Wynn Las Vegas is one of the city’s best hotels having been awarded a plethora of awards, and will completely make sure your stay is memorable, and if you like the idea of playing a few hands of poker or spins of the roulette wheel, be warned; get in some practice online at a provider like Euro Palace casino first. Vegas gamers are some of the best out there!

Isle of Wight

Though not generally considered to be a lovers’ paradise, this British island is a wonderful place to escape to in winter, mainly due to the fact that the island is very, very quiet during this time of year when the summer holiday crowd are safe at home! For couples who adore spending time outdoors, renting a cottage and heading out on walks and hikes can be great fun, the island’s natural beauty really making itself known!
