Valentine’s Day is a day to celebrate love, we can all agree on that. But, something we can also agree on is that love isn’t all about romance – it’s also about having fun whether you’re with your lover or without.
If you’re visiting the US, here are some fun places full of adventure, hiking, nature, scenery, culinary delights – and of course, we didn’t leave out the romance part for you to experience with that special person in your life.

Stroll through Central Park, stop by the Museum of Natural History or the Guggenheim, take riverside strolls, visit Broadway shows aplenty, check out the “LOVE” sign at Times Square, try out gourmet meals or cupcake milkshakes. New York is your oyster.

Colorado
Home to some of the world’s most stunning natural scenery, Colorado is perfect for a romantic and fun trip into nature’s backyard. While you’re in this beautiful state, you have to visit America’s Sweetheart Town, Loveland. If that’s not the perfect town for Valentine’s Day, then I don’t know what is.

San Diego
Valentine’s Day can be a pretty lonely day if you have no one to share it with, luckily for you, in San Diego, you can celebrate “Galentine’s Day” with all your girlfriends. Soothingly drifting through the canals, enjoy chocolate truffles, blankets, wine and a handsome gentleman singing to you.
