Love is all you need. But whisking away your sweetheart for a romantic city break would probably earn you a few brownie points. Here are seven places where to woo your lover this Valentine's Day.
Paris, said the timelessly lovely Audrey Hepburn, 'is always a good idea'. If you're stuck for where to take your Valentine, you can't beat the city of a thousand loved-up selfie opportunites. Yes of course, it is cliché, but don't be so cool, give in to love. Share a snog as the sun sets over the Seine, indulge in a PDA under the Eiffel Tower, but if you really want to impress your sweetheart, take him/her to Montmartre. Remember Amélie? Don't get distracted by the dishy waiter who'se a dead ringer for Mathieu Kassovitz and head to the Wall of Love in Place des Abbesses. Despite sounding like a comic take on the title of an 80s soft metal ballad, it's a work of art by Frédéric Baron. Over 600 tiles are imprinted with the words 'I love you' in all the languages of the world = selfie opp. Take their hands in yours, look long into their eyes, and declare your love, without saying a word.
Ah, Lisbon, city of grand Gothic cathedrals, stately museums, ancient monastries and even more heavenly pastries. This Portuguese beauty tempts those who've skipped on their porridge with the morning waft of bread from its fadistasand seduces the sweet-toothed with the empanadas de Belém of Antiga Confeitaria. But of course, music is the egg tart of love, so surfeit on sweet pastry and let the fado play long into the night.
Copenhagen is the happiest city in the world, at least according to October 2013's World Happiness Report, so you're odds-on for a loving time with your Valentine. Don't moan about the price of beer, because that's not going to impress your beau. Instead, take a boat tour on the canals of Christianshavn and see how they practise free love at hippie haven Christiania. If your partner has been moaning about the price of beer, or their sore feet, leave them speechless by announcing that you have reserved a table at Noma.
If Paris, Rome and the like are too obvious for a Valentine's city break, show your imagination by picking Palermo, 'capital' of Sicily. Tempting as it may be, resist whistling the theme from The Godfather. It won't impress your Valentine. Unless you can whistle really well. Visit the Vucciria and Ballarò markets, go to Monreale and admire the beautiful mosaics of the Dome, walk along the beach of Mondello to admire the wintery sunset, and even climb Monte Pellegrino, which will leave you breathless! In all senses!
Eternal love could bloom in the Eternal City if you sweep them off their feet on the Spanish steps, take them in your arms by the Trevi Fountain etc, etc. Or ditch the clichés and stroll hand-in-hand through Villa Pamphili park with its heart-melting views over the city. Whatever your budget, whether you’re a princess or a lowly lad, a ‘roman holiday’ is an ideal Valentine’s break, so be Audrey and Greg Peck and live it up at the gob-smackingly gorgeous but stunningly good value Grand Hotel Del Gianicolo in Vatican City.
If you don't get lost in love, at least you're likely to get lost in the beguiling streets of the Barri Gòtic, the Gothic Quarter. Hopefully you won't end up arguing about who's fault it is, but instead get happily lost among vintage shops, cocktail bars and cafés. In the nearby Raval district, don't miss the 'street of the kiss', Carrer dels Petons. Legend says that men sentenced to death gave a final farewell to their wives here. Hopefully you'll be together for a lot longer than them.
7. The Italian Riviera
And if cities aren't your thing, how about villages? The Cinque Terre - literally 'five lands' (and less literally, 'five villages') - Vernazza, Corniglia, Monterosso, Riomaggiore and Manarola - all tumble into the Med on the cliffs of Liguria. There won't be too many tourists at Valentine's time, so you'll have all those sea views to yourself as you toast your love over a seafood platter. If you want to stroll hand-in-hand for five hours, take the scenic Sentiero Azzurro (Blue Path) which connects the five villages.You'll have a hearty appetite for love after all that exercise.
