During the communist era, Valentine's Day was largely overlooked in the Czech Republic. Today, February 14—the day of love—is celebrated nationwide with special offers for couples seeking romantic escapes across this enchanting country.
Valentine's Day pairs perfectly with a holiday getaway. Couples can savor a romantic city break in Prague, where winding streets, Prague Castle, and stunning views create a fairytale setting. Dining out in Prague is exceptional, with countless restaurants offering diverse cuisines to suit every budget. The Czech Republic boasts two Michelin-starred restaurants, both in Prague: Field, renowned for its seasonal menus featuring pure, high-quality ingredients; and La Degustation Bohême Bourgeoise by Chef Oldřich Sahajdák, located in the historic center alongside Field. Awarded a Michelin star since 2012, it offers multi-course tasting menus paired with fine wines, highlighting fresh fish from Czech rivers and innovative no-cutlery dishes.
In the heart of winter, Czech spas draw couples worldwide. Destinations like Karlovy Vary, Mariánské Lázně, and Františkovy Lázně feature renowned hotels with luxurious rooms and extensive wellness options, including massages and treatments. Unwind in thermal spring baths rich in local mineral water or indulge in detoxifying mud wraps that boost circulation, rejuvenate skin, and restore body and mind.
For sporty couples, the Czech mountains offer thrilling Valentine's escapes. Ski resorts in Harrachov, Špindlerův Mlýn, and Janské Lázně in the Giant Mountains cater to skiers and snowboarders with beginner-friendly runs, advanced descents, snow parks, and timed slopes. Afterward, cozy up in slope-side cafés. Try guided ski touring at sunrise for an unforgettable shared experience.
Surprise your partner with a stay in a renovated chateau, blending historic charm with modern comforts. Near Prague in Central Bohemia, Chateau Loučeň—about an hour's drive away—offers three royal suites named after noble families, featuring four-poster beds, antique furnishings, chandeliers, and contemporary amenities. Baroque Chateau Jemniště doubles as a tourist gem and accommodation with three lavish apartments, where impeccable service evokes royal romance.
