    Interestingly in Japan, Valentine’s Day is an occasion for women to express their love for their partners. The men reciprocate with a gesture much later. Escape the madness of Tokyo and instead visit Kyoto with your partner. 

    Explore its narrow streets lined with wooden houses and visit the innumerable shrines for a cultural experience. A visit to Kyoto may be even more rewarding as you might spot cherry blossom trees in full bloom (March onwards).

    Venice, the city of canals and bridges (it has more than 350 bridges), is one of the most romantic places to celebrate Valentine’s Day. You can hop on to a gondola and ride through big and small canals at sunset, as you spot the quaint churches on the banks. Visit the Bridge of Sighs. Earlier, prisoners were led to the cells or execution chamber through here, and would sigh as they caught a glimpse of Venice. Indulge in some yummy seafood in the alleys, and go dancing in St Mark’s Square.
