Whatever language, whatever city, whatever destination, you can enjoy the romance that surrounds Valentine’s Day. You could enjoy a candlelit dinner in Venice, a romantic trip along the Danube in Budapest or lock yourself away in a romantic castle in Scotland.

easyJet has identified the lovers’ choice of destinations across the network to help you decide the best place to pop the question this year.

In Rome Valentine's Day in known as Lupercalia as this day is a very romantic and pleasure-loving occasion. There are several theories about the origin of Valentine's Day celebrations.

Some believe the Romans had a mid-February custom where boys drew girls' names in honour of the sex and fertility goddess, while others maintain that the custom of sending Valentines on 14 February stems from the belief that birds begin to pair on that date. Whatever your belief, you can ensure romance is high on the agenda in mid-February across Italy.

In some countries, a young woman may receive a gift of clothing from a young man. If she keeps the gift, it means she will marry him. Why not try this in Rome by treating your loved one to the delights that await her in the designer stores, such as Gucci, Chanel and Gianni Versace.

Once you have shopped ‘til you drop, retire to any one of the romantic restaurants in and around the Centro Storico, along the Via Cavour and around the Borgo district close to the Vatican to bring the day to a relaxing close.

easyJet flies to Rome from London Gatwick, Bristol, Newcastle, Belfast, East Midlands and Bristol with prices from £22.99 one-way (incl. taxes).
