Just in time for Valentines Day,
Vayama's experts in international travel, have compiled a list of places for both frugal and the not so frugal traveler along with the sites and sounds that highlight what makes each destination romantic.
Reykjavik, IcelandIceland might sound like the antithesis of a romantic tropical island, and it is! But that doesn’t mean that Iceland isn’t a sexy and romantic destination to sweep your loved one of their feet. Iceland’s Blue Lagoon Spa dials romance up to 11 with private suites, cocktails, sushi and matching bathrobes. The Blue Lagoon’s swim up bar and countless grottos and caves offer plenty of discreet corners for a kiss and a cuddle before you hit the town to partake in one of Europe’s wildest nightlife.

Venice, Italy
You don’t have to be rich to enjoy romance in Venice, a kiss on the Vaporetto along the Grand Canal is just as romantic as a kiss on a gondola and a stroll along Venice’s bridges and narrow alleys is free and very, very romantic.

Rome, Italy
Rome is an open air museum to Romance. Take an evening stroll based on the movie “Roman Holiday” and stick your hand inside the ‘Bocca della Verità (The mouth of truth), with is romantically located in the grounds of the Roman church that houses the bones of St. Valentine (can’t get more romantic than that). Then rent a Vespa and drive around the coliseum just like Gregory Peck and Audrey Hepburn did in the movie. Finish with an al fresco candlelit dinner in Rome’s Campo di Fiori piazza. That’s Amore.

London, England
London might make its money in finance, but it is romance keeping the lights of the West End flashing. Take your loved to a musical play, followed by cocktails at the Ritz, and then head to Soho Square for bar hopping and dancing until dawn and that romantic stroll along the Thames River for a kiss atop the London eye.

Paris, France
Paris is romance squared, although there is nothing square about the city of lights. A kiss is not just a kiss when it’s given atop the Eiffel tower or in the heights of Montmartre with the whole city spread at your feet. Take your loved one on a night cruise along the Seine River, followed by a visit to the Moulin Rouge or the Crazy Horse for cocktails and hijinks. Ou la la!

Eternal romantics will fall for Verona’s charms. The Bard set his eternal story of love in fair Verona, among Capulets and Roman ruins. Don’t miss Juliet’s house, balcony included. Wherefore art thou Romeo?
