The paper said that while many couples flock to Paris to celebrate their love in the city of, well, love, it has come up with a few alternatives.

“From the Scottish Highlands to hiking in Italy, here are 14 destinations to head to for Valentine’s Day that are just as romantic as Paris,” the paper said. “Whether you are partnered up or not, there is no doubt that people around the office will be getting flowers and chocolates – so why not get away for a mid-week trip?”

The paper recommended to “spend the day walking through the Plitvice Lakes in Croatia.”

Base yourself in Zagreb for the weekend and take a day trip out to the lakes for some of the bluest water you will ever see. With spring around the corner, this is the perfect time of year to visit.”
