As a lead up to Valentine’s Day, we explore some popular global romantic destinations

It’s Valentine Week, and with much love and romance floating in the air, here’s looking at some romantic hotspots around the world: Venice, Italy This is a city synonymous with beauty and love. The gondola rides through the backwaters remain the highlight of the place. And yes, if you happen to be there for Valentine’s Day, don’t miss out on the Venice Carnival! Paris, France It is no surprise that the city attracts countless tourists and honeymoon couples, and qualifies as one of the romantic hotspots in the world. Situated on the river Seine, this capital city plays host to many snuggling couples all year round. Niagara Falls, Canada The thrill of this popular waterfall is known to be experienced best with your beloved. The brilliance of the waterfall, and the caves behind it at the foothills of the mountain together make for a memorable experience. The Alps, Switzerland The magnificence of the Alps is just one of the many charms of Switzerland. And if your idea of romance comprises ice-capped mountains and the winter wonders, this makes for the perfect place for you. Australia A fast emerging holiday spot, (partially because of being much popularised in Bollywood films like Dil Chahta Hai, Salaam Namaste etc), Australia offers an exhaustive list of activities and breathtakingly beautiful luxury lodges to spend quality time with your partner and keep the magic alive. b_shreya@dnaindia.net
