Whether you've been together a few months or numerous years, it's always worth jetting off with your loved one to a romantic destination. Not only can you explore new places, but you can also rediscover the spark that initially drew you together.

This year, make it a Valentine's Day to remember. Here are the top places to go for a couple travelling for love.

The nickname for Paris is "City of Love," so we'd be remiss to omit it from this list. Just a short flight away from the UK, Paris is the ideal destination if your boss doesn't give you many days off for your Valentine's holiday.

Grab your partner and go for a stroll in the city's atmospheric streets, making sure to catch a glimpse of the Eiffel Tower and the River Seine. Then, when you need a break, have a scintillating conversation over some drinks at a cosy cafe.

Surprise your significant other by booking a stay at Passy Eiffel, which offers a balcony view of the Eiffel Tower. They'll be speechless when they realise they're staying at such a romantic hotel!

Gondolas in the water in Venice (source: Unsplash)

Some people would argue that Venice beats out France for the title of "most romantic city." When you see the elegant gondolas and gorgeous architecture, you'd be inclined to agree.

If you're planning on proposing, then a gondola ride is the dreamiest way to do it. Even if you're already married or aren't in a rush to be, this water tour around the city is fun and intimate.

On land, take a walk hand-in-hand through the Piazza San Marco and the Doge Palace. Before you retire to your room at the quaint B&B Fortuny, have a deliciously authentic Italian meal and toast with a glass of Venetian Bellini.

Santorini is truly a sight to behold, especially if you go to the village of Oia. Here, you'll find the iconic white houses with blue domes, which make outstanding Instagram pictures.

What makes Santorini a great romantic getaway is that it's an island in the Aegean Sea. Not only that, but the island sits on top of an active volcano.

You'll find relaxing hot springs here, which make an excellent date idea. While you kick back, you and your partner will enjoy beautiful views of the Caldera. If you book a stay at the Summer Lovers Villa, you'll keep those Caldera views too.

In your days in Santorini, take time to stroll leisurely down the beach, reminiscing on fond memories as a couple. You can even book a seaside horse ride for an adventurous yet romantic outing.

Not only is California famous for its fantastic weather, but also for its beaches. So you're already spoiled for choice when you travel to this state.

However, there's no better place for a romantic getaway than Big Sur. This coastline is so breathtaking that it's been nicknamed the "American Riviera."

What's even better is that Big Sur is home to one of the most romantic places to stay: Post Ranch Inn. When you book nights here, you'll be situated on a cliff that's 1,200 feet above the ocean. You can watch the sunset with your sweetheart while splitting a bottle of wine.

Big Sur also places you near other nice cities in Northern California, such as Carmel. Plus, San Francisco is just a few hours' drive away.

Kyoto was the original capital of Japan and is well-known for its peaceful zen gardens and bamboo forests, as well as its stunning Shinto temples. For a tranquil yet interesting romantic getaway in Asia, this is where you need to go.

Stay at Matsumoto Ryokan, where you can experience authentic Japanese-style lodgings. The rooms have tatami flooring and traditional futon bedding. And in the living room, there's a low table with floor cushions. The hotel will put you right next to the Kyoto Tower, which is reminiscent of the TV Tower in Berlin.

Don't forget to treat yourselves to tasty Japanese dishes that are fresh and abundant. For the ultimate experience, order the traditional multi-course dinner (kaiseki). For foodies, there's nothing more romantic than bonding over haute cuisine.

Does your significant other love castles? Then they'll definitely enjoy Prague. Not only does this city bring fairytales to life with its pretty castles, but it also enamours visitors with its colourful arched houses and intricate Gothic churches.

This is a city made for walking; the old-fashioned cobblestone roads give off a pleasant click-clack noise, which pairs wonderfully with the lit gas lamps at night. During the day, cross the impressive bridges to get incredible pictures.

While you're on these bridges, marvel at the crisp blue waters of the Vltava, the longest river in the country. You can even take a romantic boat cruise down it if you have the time.

If you spend your Valentine's getaway at the Golden Well, you won't regret it. You'll get great views of the famous red-tiled roofs in Prague in this charming accommodation.

Want to go off the beaten path and take your sweetie to a well-kept secret? Then choose Salzburg as your Valentine's holiday. You'll get bonus points if the two of you like classical music, as this is where Mozart was born.

Like in Prague, you can take a lovely boat cruise down the Salzach river. Or if you prefer to stay on land, then take leisurely walks through the city, where you'll see fountains, towers, and fortresses. In March, there are beautiful blooming magnolia trees in the Mirabell Gardens, so don't miss out on this spectacular sight!

In addition, Old Town is a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Site, and it's a delightful place to spend an afternoon in. There are plenty of cafes to sit in if you get tired. The Holiday Inn places you straight at Old Town's doorstep, making it convenient to walk to and from your hotel.

If you're interested in travelling to the Americas, then Buenos Aires is the destination to pick. This city is also known as the "Paris of South America."

Catch passionate tango shows where you'll see sparks fly. You can even indulge in an upscale three-course candlelit dinner and sip on exquisite Argentinian wine.

Make sure to take long walks down at Puerto Madero, which is a newly renovated port. It's especially gorgeous at night, when you'll see reflections of light in the water.

Buenos Aires also borrows from Venice with its gondolas in the port. So you'll get a nice combination of two of the most romantic cities in Europe. Stay in Hotel Madero Buenos Aires for a port-side view.
