Here are some ideas on how to woo your date this Valentine’s Day:

Luxurious getaway

Lovers of luxury are spoilt for choice in Madrid. Clothes shopping at exclusive boutiques, dining at a Michelin-starred restaurant, pampering in a five-star spa or sleeping in a room fit for a royal, there’s nothing you can’t do in the new European capital of luxury. If you are into indulging exquisite meals, discover the establishments that boast one, two or even three Michelin stars, from long-established restaurants to new venues. And to end up a romantic day, enjoy an art that finds its ultimate expression in Madrid, Flamenco. There’s nothing more magical than falling under the spell of the tablaos (flamenco clubs) where some of the art form’s key figures rose to fame.

Vintage getaway

If you are more into a classic plan, you can try the largest drive-in cinema in Europe. And if you want to take advantage of Madrid’s stunning views, you can stop by at the Mirador de la Cornisa Viewpoint at the Royal Palace to take a beautiful picture.

Getaway for geeks

If your heart is shared between your significant other and your favorite tech, you will find interesting attractions in Madrid to enjoy. .

Another recommendation is to visit the Museum of Illusions Madrid that has holograms, tricks and games about vision, perception and science.

Sports lovers

If you’re both sports lovers, you may want to take a look at Madrid’s football temples: the Santiago Bernabeu and the Cívitas Metropolitano Stadium. Travelers seeking a sports-inspired Valentine’s itinerary should look no further than the city of Madrid as you will get to meet the world’s most emblematic sports venues.
