Rome

With its historic landmarks and beautiful architecture, Rome is an irresistible destination for an escape from the everyday this 14th February. You can turn back time at the Colosseum and the Roman Forum before throwing a coin into the Trevi Fountain where you can share a wish for a future filled with love and happiness.

In the evening, head to Trastevere, a district just outside of the city centre that’s filled with winding streets and candlelit restaurants. Here, you can enjoy authentic Italian cuisine and fine wine in a setting that feels like a romantic movie scene.

For a truly unforgettable Valentine’s Day, take a desert safari. As the sun dips below the dunes, enjoy a private dinner under the stars, accompanied by traditional music and dance performances.

New York

There’s no city like the city that never sleeps. New York is an iconic city and there is so much to do here. Begin your day walking hand in hand through Central Park, where you can take a horse-drawn carriage ride or stroll around the lakes in this green space. It’s also possible to go ice skating in the park in February, with the season coming to an end in mid-March.

As the evening approaches, treat yourselves to a Broadway show. You can grab a pre-theatre bite or end the night with a meal at one of the city’s many rooftop restaurants, such as The View or 230 Fifth, where spectacular skyline views set the stage for an unforgettable evening.
