Relax in the thermal baths 

The water in thermal baths is rich in minerals and is known to have many healing powers. Among other things, it can help to alleviate skin problems, relax muscles and strengthen the immune system. At a thermal spa, you can float together in the warm mineral-rich thermal water. These thermal spas are particularly beautiful and are perfect for a dip with your partner:

Terme Merano, Italy: This location features a glass cube with an outdoor area in the middle of the South Tyrol mountain landscape.

Szechenyi Baths, Budapest, Hungary: Built in 1913, it is one of the largest spa complexes in Europe. The Neo-Baroque architecture is worth seeing along with a quick dip at the beer spa inside the complex.

Gazlıgöl Başaranlar Thermal, Afyon, Turkey: Afyonkarahisar or Afyon is one of the most famous regions for thermal holidays in Turkey. The water from the Gazlıgöl thermal spring is used both as a bath cure and as a drinking cure.

Amer Fort, Jaipur, India: The most incredible fort in Jaipur, with its enticing gateways and arches, also provides an incredible view of the rugged landscape of the city.

Sugarloaf Mountain, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil: It is worth planning to see the sunset from the top of Morro da Urca or Sugarloaf Mountain. You can take a cable car to the top of the mountain, where you’ll be treated to panoramic views of the city.

Plan a romantic dinner 

As we all know, the way to a person’s heart is through their stomach; for many couples, a romantic dinner is a must on Valentine’s Day. Instead of going to the local restaurant around the corner, how about trying authentic dishes in these cities?

Prague, Czech Republic: Relish the hearty Bohemian cuisine in the Czech capital.

Liège, Belgium: Not what one would call a conventional candlelight atmosphere, but some of the dishes found here are great, such as the original Liège waffles and Belgian fries.

Edinburgh, Scotland: Make sure to squeeze in a whisky tasting then, enjoy a romantic Valentine’s themed dinner with some delicious Scottish specialties.

Tips for a romantic journey with Flix

Want to add a little romance to your journey? Here, you can find inspiration on how to plan your FlixBus or FlixTrain trip together. 

Create a Playlist Together

Nothing sets the mood quite like music. On the road, you can collaborate with your partner to create the ultimate playlist that represents your relationship. Include songs that remind you of each other, as well as tracks you both love to listen to. You don’t have to worry about your battery running out with Flix, just look out for plug-in symbols on board or ask your friendly driver where to find the closest outlet to your seat.

Watch a movie

FlixBus offers Wi-Fi, which means you can stream your favorite romantic movies together. Enjoy a timeless classic like The Notebook or a romantic comedy like When Harry Met Sally. Cuddling up with your partner while watching a film can set the perfect tone for a day of love and adventure.

Have a snack picnic

Being hangry should be avoided at all costs, especially on Valentine’s Day. Pack a selection of you and your partner’s favorite snacks and enjoy them while you sit back and relax. Share each other’s treats or you could even have a mini taste test with new snacks that you both haven’t tried if you’re feeling adventurous.

Write Love Notes to Each Other

Bring along a small notebook or a set of postcards and take a moment to write heartfelt notes to each other during the trip. These could be love letters, silly doodles, or even messages of gratitude. You could exchange notes at the end of the journey or keep them as mementos for years to come.

Relax and enjoy the view

Less is more: Sometimes it’s enough to just enjoy being together and look out the window. When packing, remember to bring a large blanket and use the journey to unwind from the stresses of everyday life. FlixBus offers panoramic seats for the best view, which you can reserve in advance if available.

Flix allows you to reach 5600+ destinations with affordable pricing that makes multiple travel plans possible throughout the year. Have a nice trip!
