Last Minute Valentine’s Day! Romantic day trips for an unforgettable day
Valentine’s Day is a day when we want to surprise our loved ones and show them how much they mean to us. But if you forgot or were late buying a gift this year, there’s no need to panic. Sometimes the best gift is time spent together in a special place.
That’s why we’ve brought you suggestions for romantic day trips in Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro and Albania. The selection isn’t clichés like Bled or Dubrovnik, but gems that provide a wonderful atmosphere for couples.
SLOVENIA
- Škocjan Caves – Less touristy than Postojna, these caves captivate with their wild beauty and mystical atmosphere. A walk through the underground canyon with the sound of an underground river is ideal for couples looking for adventure and romance.
