Press Release: Love is in the Air

Thursday 20th December 2007

Roses are red, le fromage is bleu, visit Paris for a romantic break pour deux.

This year Railbookers asked our customers to name their most romantic city, and it will come as no surprise that 71% said Paris was the city for “l’amour”, with Rome and Venice coming a joint second.

We also asked our customers how much they would spend on a Valentines short break and 48% would spend between £200 - £400 per person on their Valentine this February 14th. Visit Paris with Railbookers and stay at the chic 4* Deluxe Hotel Scribe from £359 per person for 3 nights with the 3rd night free, including breakfast and return train travel. Enjoy a romantic cruise down the Seine, wander around the cobbled streets of the Sacre Coeur and climb the Eiffel Tower for stunning views across the city and perhaps a proposal…

If you want to take your love further this year head for the eternal city of Rome where you can kiss on the Spanish steps, make a wish in the Trevi Fountain and share a glass of champagne in one of the bars on the Piazza Navona. Visit Rome with Railbookers and stay at the contemporary 4* Radisson SAS Rome Hotel from £579 per person for 4 nights with the 4th night free, including breakfast and return train travel.

For even more Italian passion take the train to Venice and walk down the aisle of St Mark’s Basilica, take a gondola ride at dusk, and treat your partner to some Venetian jewellery handmade by one of the many artisans dotted around the city. Visit Venice with Railbookers and stay at the 4* Deluxe boutique Palazzo Sant'Angelo Hotel from £509 per person for 3 nights with the 3rd night free, including breakfast and return train travel.
