See the greats at the Borghese Gallery in Rome
For the couples who are always seeking out the best in historical art, there’s no better place to spend Valentine’s Day than Rome’s Galleria Borghese. Housed in the striking former Villa Borghese Pinciana, this gallery is full of iconic works such as Bernini’s Neptune, Canova’s Venus Victrix, and Caravaggio’s Young Sick Bacchus. Walk through the highly decorated 17th-century rooms, then catch up on each others’ favourite works as you stroll through the picturesque park of Villa Borghese.
Listen to the Valentines classics in Amsterdam
This one’s for the film and music lovers. Every year, Amsterdam’s Concertgebouw (one of the best venues for acoustics in the world), hosts an evening that brings film scores to life. This year at Valentines Classics at the Movies, the Olten Philharmonic Orchestra will be filling your ears with sounds from Forrest Gump, West Side Story, Cinema Paradiso and more. It’s all held in a grand and imposing concert hall that’s been delighting Amsterdammers and visitors since the late 1800s. Grab dinner at the concert hall’s restaurant LIER beforehand, for French-inspired cuisine with a contemporary twist. Tickets can be found here.
Wind down with underground jazz in Zagreb
Cosy candle-lit atmosphere, private booths and live jazz sessions makes Bacchus Jazz Bar one of the best Valentine’s Day ideas in Zagreb. In this cellar bar that’s a favourite of locals, you’ll be treated to Dalmatian wines, low brick ceilings, a homely mix of mismatched furniture and laid back jazz to croon along to. Bacchus Jazz Bar is on the edge of Lower Town’s famous Lenuci’s Horseshoe (Trg Kralja Tomislava 16) – take your time to get there and enjoy a walk through the parks from art’otel Zagreb.
Delve into all forms of love in Berlin
Think the LGBTIQA+ community has never had a place in art? Well, The Second Glance: All Forms of Love is here to challenge everything we thought we knew – or were taught – about art throughout history. This fascinating exhibition at Berlin’s Bode Museum explores existing collections through a new lens, showing that there’s always been artistic and societal engagement with LGBTIQA+ sexualities and identities – they’ve just been overlooked. Celebrating all forms of love through art? What a way to spend Valentine’s Day in Berlin. Book a ticket here.
Visit Seoul… In London

Twenty five cutting-edge installations make up Delight, telling the story of Seoul’s illustrious past, dynamic present and a few mythical imaginings for good measure. Take your date and become part of the city’s culture and its people through an unforgettable, multi-sensorial experience, right on the edge of London’s River Thames. Then continue your global journey by heading around the corner to the famous Art Deco Borough Market, and treating your Valentine to the best of international cuisine.

Best Online Rates Guarantee
Found a lower rate? We’ll match it and give you an additional 25% discount on your stay.
Here’s how it works
Your reservation must be made on Radissonhotels.com and claim must be validated by our Customer Care team.
The Best Rates Guarantee does not apply to the following rate types:
- Qualified discount rates available to members of special programs or associations (i.e. AAA, senior, government, loyalty, employee discounts);
- Special “exclusive offers” or “online coupons” or email solicitations not intended for the general public;
- Rates not publicly available, such as negotiated Group or Corporate rates; including group extend-the-stay rates;
- Package rates that include the room and other components such as parking, travel, car rental, entertainment, or meals excluding breakfast;
- Rates found on opaque, bidding, or auction sites where the hotel brand, the specific hotel, the hotel location or price is not known until booking is finalized. Examples of these types of sites include but are not limited to Priceline and Hotwire;
- Any other unpublished or private rates or sites requiring login.
Comparison Rates
Comparison Rates: The Comparison Rate must be found on a website available to be booked by the general public other than Radissonhotels.com within 24 hours of booking your hotel room on Radissonhotels.com and at least 48 hours prior to midnight hotel local time of your arrival date.
The Comparison Rate must be for the same hotel, same reservation date(s), same room type (i.e. room size and amenities), same number of guests, same currency as the Radissonhotels.com confirmation email, and the same advance payment and refund policies and restrictions must apply.
The Comparison Rate must still be available at the time Customer Care validates the claim.
The rates will be compared net of any taxes, gratuities, or any other fees associated with the room rate; however, if the Radissonhotels.com rate has taxes included, we will verify that the total cost of your Comparison Rate is lower so that prices are compared on a relative basis. Rate disparities solely attributable to rounding, fluctuations and/or difference in currency exchange rates are excluded from the Best Rates Guarantee. Claims will be denied when the difference between the Comparison Rate and the rate on Radissonhotels.com is less than 1USD, 1EUR or 1GBP or equivalent in the local currency of the hotel.
When a claim covers a stay for multiple, consecutive nights, the rates will be reviewed based on the average over the entire stay (the total consecutive nights stayed by the same guest or guests in the same hotel, regardless of the number of check-ins or check-outs or separate reservations). Comparison Rates applicable to only a portion of the reservation will not be honored.
If your reservation meets these criteria, let us know by submitting the claim form.
Customer Care will verify the rate meets all of these Best Rates Guarantee terms and conditions and contact you via email. Once confirmed, we will match the lower rate and discount that rate by an additional 25%. For prepaid bookings, the difference will be refunded on the applicable credit card by the hotel. You may only submit one claim for each stay.
If a new reservation confirmation number is provided for the new rate, it must be presented at the hotel at the time of check-in.
The Best Rates Guarantee is void where prohibited by law.
We reserve the right to change or discontinue the Best Rates Guarantee at any time without prior notice. We retain the sole right to determine the validity of any claim, whether a rate qualifies as a Comparison Rate, and whether a claim has satisfied the terms and conditions stated herein. Any dispute arising out of or related to the Best Rates Guarantee shall be handled individually and without any class action and is subject to the terms of the site usage agreement found on Radissonhotels.com. If the Comparison Rate is reserved through any Website other than Radissonhotels.com, we are not responsible for any fees or other costs incurred due to cancellation of a reservation.
