You don’t need a venue or an occasion to tell someone that you love and care for him/her, but pouring out your emotions to that special someone in the midst of a Valentine’s Day (Walentynki) celebration will surely make your partner overwhelmed with joy and happiness. Every year, 14th of February marks the onset of a day that conveys to the world the message of giving and sharing love. All over the world, people come together on this day to curb the hatred that has devastated the human society and spread love in its place. The concept of celebrating Valentine’s Day started years and continues till date. Celebrating the occasion in Poland adds a whole new dimension to it. There is something very romantic and alluring about the endless charming landscapes and the pictorial views of the country and every Valentine, the country finds a considerable share of travelers who come to celebrate the event the way the natives do.

Valentine’s Day in Poland celebrated with intense joy and excitement but Poland never gets exhausted with it because the event is very economically celebrated there. Roses, chocolates, candies and cards are the most beloved gifts for the romantic occasion for polish people. Greeting card is one of main attraction of Valentine’s Day in Poland. Polish greeting cards shops get prepared for the occasion and get card with intense romantic messages. Flowers bouquets are exchanged between couples but basically men present their beloved flower bouquets which are filled with red roses or tulips.

There are so many great places to visit on this day, but if you’re craving chocolate and rich traditions, then you must pay homage to Pijalnie Czekolady Wedel in Warsaw (or any other city in Poland). Wedel is Poland’s longest established chocolate manufacturer, since1851, and one of the best known brands here. Though there are several locations in Warsaw, my favorite is the original one located in what was once the factory and café of the Wedel business in Centrum. As tradition warrants, you must try one of the infamous hot chocolates and then treat yourself to a decadent piece of chocolate cake, ice cream sundae or delicious chocolate truffles.
