Vienna offers a variety of events on this special day to celebrate love. Whether in the romantic framework of the Vindobona with a burlesque special and a delicious three-course menu or with a unique tour of the sea, where the animal world is in focus-there is something for every taste. The possibilities range from exclusive dinners in the Danube tower to cultural events in the Jewish Museum, where love stories and traditions are examined, as krone.at reports.

A highlight is the photo-compatible experience of Gustav Klimt's masterpiece "Der Kuss" in the upper Belvedere, where couples can be photographed free of charge. The St. Stephen's Cathedral celebrates with a special valine blessing, to which all couples and also singles are invited from the praise of cathedral priest Toni Faber. Events that have already been fully booked are particularly in demand this year, which underlines the ongoing trend for spontaneous planning of romantic experiences.

The encounter of tradition and modern trends can also be seen in the surprisingly different expectations that Valentine's Day arouses. While many men are planning gifts that day, women are often interested in special shared experiences. According to a survey, 56 percent of Viennese believe that it is important to celebrate the day, with some pressure and different preferences in the air, which can provide tensions.
