 Thinking about whisking your sweetie away for Valentine's Day (or any day, just because you're in love)?
Well, here are five destinations that practically guarantee hand-holding, eye-gazing and lip-locking. Each of these places will melt your heart and deepen the bond with your honey as you share the unique charms of any these cities.
1) Tuscany, Italy – One of the most scenic regions of Italy incorporates the magical medieval hilltop towns of San Gimignano, Sienna,Arezzo, and of course Florence among others. Amazing history, art and architecture are everywhere, as is hearty food and fine wine. The perfect date: a hike in the countryside with a picnic lunch, then a visit to a local vineyard for wine tasting.
2) St Lucia, Caribbean – From the stuning views of Les Pitons, to zip-lining in the rain forest, there is plenty to see and do in this lush, mountainous Caribbean island. Visit the bubbling sulphur springs at the Soufriere Volcano, help count nesting turtles, or dance with the locals at a Friday night street party. The perfect date: A catamaran cruise along the spectacular coast, stopping to snorkel at one of the dozens of picturesque secluded bays along the way.
 3) Buenos Aires, Argentina – The home of the tango gets top scores for unabashed sensuality.
The city is vibrant and throbbing with energy. The Recolita Cemetary (Evita's resting place), the refurbished Teatro Colon and the upscale Puerto Madero area illustrate some of the city's grandeur. The perfect date: Spend the afternoon at the Sunday Flea market and antique shopping in the San Telmo neighborhood, and then lose yourself in the raw passion of the tango as the locals take to the public square to dance in the evening.
4) Tahiti, French Polynesia – One of the most romantic tropical destinations, Tahiti is simply exquisitely beautiful. While the main city of Papeete has boutiques for shopping, a colorful local market, and a lively nightlife, the real draw is spending time together in a tropical paradise. The perfect date: A week long cruise throughout the islands of Tahiti.
5) New Orleans, LA – A city known for indulgence, New Orleans offers plenty of ways to take your pleasure. Visit the French Quarter with its voodoo shops, restaurants and multiple bars, the famous above ground “cities of the dead” cemeteries, and the 19th century mansions of the shaded Garden District. The perfect date: A traditional N'awlins seafood dinner of oysters, crawfish or gumbo, take in some music on Bourbon Street, then a walk along the Moonwalk to view the Mississippi River.
Even if you don't make it for Valentine's Day, put these romantic destinations on your wish list and when you do visit, let love bloom. What is the most romantic place you have visited with your Darlin'?
