Traveling with your beloved on the most romantic holiday of the year: an adventurous way to celebrate love, or a crucial (and necessary) step to realizing that he or she is not The One?;
Whatever your reasons, there are romantic getaways designed for just about every type of traveler and we've pulled out 10 of them; on the off chance you're able to take a vacation this Valentine's Day.;
California: For those who love to eat more than they love to love, a food tour is the best bet -- and what better place than California?
Six Taste Food Tours;provides walks through Los Angeles (a rare occurrence in itself) and the chance to taste test the city's diverse cuisine.;The company offers seven pre-planned tours, including a Hollywood Food Tour and Thai Town Food Tour, using guides who not only know food, but also know the culture and history behind the selected location.;
Six Taste can also build private tours for two to 200 people (although the larger is probably the less romantic option). And for February only, there's an "Indulgence" Valentine's Food Tour, a limited edition tour that goes through the posh Beverly Hills neighborhood giving tastes of truffle popcorn to the kitchen of Thomas Keller's Bouchon.;
The;Prague Pub Crawl: Our recommendation for a group of single friends looking for a great time in a beautiful neighborhood? The;Prague Pub Crawl.
The company hosts a Czech Beer Tasting experience, as well as a;Beer Master's Brewery Tour.On the Beer Tasting experience guests can get a chance to taste seven beers, both major and micro brewed, many that are unique to Prague, and learn the six steps of properly assessing beer (no chugging here).
But if you're willing to go a little bit crazier, try the Brewery Tour, which takes guests to three microbreweries and offers 10 varieties of Czech beer. Plus, the tour means guests get to travel by tram though Prague's beautiful New Town. Everything is a little bit sexier on a buzz.
Denmark :With more than 10,000 kilometers of marked bicycle routes and mostly flat terrain, Denmark is best explored on two wheels.;
Bike along the 7,314 kilometers of coastline and rest up at one of the many nature camp sites (some are free, some not) or just fly into Aarhus, which has a bus service to take passengers to the railway station.
From there, bike rentals are easy to find, and the Open Air Museum is a short ride away. It has 0.34 square kilometers of land to ride around and shows Denmark as it was in the 1600s to the 1900s -- though much of the focus is on the 1800s, the time of Hans Christian Andersen.;
Picnics are also allowed (so get a bike with a basket). Aarhus also offers a cycle route that takes bikers through the city centre, the City Hall and ARoS Aarhus Kunstmuseum, an art museum that's topped with a rainbow-colored skywalk.
From Aarhus, bikers with stamina can ride to Copenhagen while their jelly-legged friends catch the train.;
Once in Copenhagen, bike by The Little Mermaid statue in Langelinie and then go south, to see the Gefion Fountain in the Nordre Toldbod area and make a wish.
Tivoli Gardens, Copenhagen's most famous amusement park with the world's tallest carousel, The Star Flyer, the Pantomime Theatre and several outdoor scenes with live music, as well as fireworks displays at night also count among Copenhagen's offerings.;
London: Those looking for a special but not too expensive way to be turned on should check out the;Valentines Night Safari at the Natural History Museum in London.
For £25-£28 (US$40-45), visitors can check out the museum in the dark and talk with scientists about the birds and the bees -- and opt to go on the "Turn me On" tour or the "Turn me Off" tour. Though the former sounds more appropriate. Or inappropriate.
The "Turn me on" tour displays specimens relating to love in the natural world, while the "Turn me off" tour explores the "scariest, grossest and most dangerous creatures" in the museum's collections.;;
