During the spring festivals in England and France in the Middle Ages, girls and boys were paired together in play. Why 14 February? Well, because in the Middle Ages this day was considered to be the day when birds formed pairs.<\/p><div class=\"freed-grupp-i-blogginlagg freed-entity-placement\" id=\"freed-58277891\"><div class=\"freed-adlabel\">Advertisement<\/div><div id=\"freed-slider-88752\" class=\"custom-slider freed-slider-1695438607 freed-slider\"><ul><li><div id=\"freed-2881268398\" class=\"method-missing not-front type-post not-theme-page\"><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/se.adria-mobil.com\/\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"a2t-link\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"adria-freedom-top-banner-588x158px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/adria-freedom-toppbanner-588x158px.gif\" alt=\"\"  width=\"588\" height=\"158\"   \/><\/a><\/div><\/li><li><div id=\"freed-3027309656\" class=\"method-missing not-front type-post not-theme-page\"><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ullbadden.se\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"a2t-link\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"ullbadden_588x158_feb_2026\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/ullbadden_588x158_feb_2026-1.jpg\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/ullbadden_588x158_feb_2026-1.jpg 588w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/ullbadden_588x158_feb_2026-1-300x81.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/ullbadden_588x158_feb_2026-1-224x60.jpg 224w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/ullbadden_588x158_feb_2026-1-18x5.jpg 18w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/ullbadden_588x158_feb_2026-1-433x116.jpg 433w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 588px) 100vw, 588px\" width=\"588\" height=\"158\"   \/><\/a><\/div><\/li><\/ul><\/div><script>( window.advanced_ads_ready || jQuery( document ).ready ).call( null, function() {var $freedslider1695438607 = jQuery( \".freed-slider-1695438607\" );$freedslider1695438607.on( \"unslider.ready\", function() { jQuery( \"div.custom-slider ul li\" ).css( \"display\", \"block\" ); });$freedslider1695438607.unslider({ delay:4000, autoplay:true, nav:false, arrows:false, infinite:true });$freedslider1695438607.on(\"mouseover\", function() {$freedslider1695438607.unslider(\"stop\");}).on(\"mouseout\", function() {$freedslider1695438607.unslider(\"start\");});});<\/script><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"575\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Svanfamilj-1024x575.jpg\" alt=\"Svanfamilj\" class=\"wp-image-55047\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Svanfamilj-1024x575.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Svanfamilj-600x337.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Svanfamilj-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Svanfamilj-768x431.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Svanfamilj-1200x673.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Svanfamilj.jpg 1203w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Two swans who found love<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-den-helige-valentin\">St Valentine's Day<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">14 February is Valentin's name day. St Valentine was a Roman saint about whom little is known. In fact, we don't even seem to know for sure which Valentine we are talking about. There were at least three St Valentine's who were martyred in the 2nd and 3rd centuries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Perhaps the most famous of these is the priest Valentinus in ancient times. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/en\/2020\/01\/gora-i-rom\/\">Rome<\/a>who is said to have been beheaded on 14 February 269 AD, during Emperor Claudius II's persecution of Christians. He chose martyrdom instead of renouncing his Christian faith. The offence? He would have married a Christian couple.<\/p><div class=\"freed-grupp-i-blogginlagg-2 freed-entity-placement\" id=\"freed-3046534336\"><div class=\"freed-adlabel\">Advertisement<\/div><div id=\"freed-slider-88753\" class=\"custom-slider freed-slider-4242000505 freed-slider\"><ul><li><div id=\"freed-3243797263\" class=\"method-missing not-front type-post not-theme-page\"><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.elmia.se\/husvagn\/for-besokare\/biljetter\/?utm_source=freedomtravel&#038;utm_medium=banner&#038;utm_campaign=elmiahusvagn_kop_biljett_mars-sep\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"a2t-link\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"ElmiaHusvagnHusbil_2026_FREEDOMtravel_vi_ses_2027_588x158\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ElmiaHusvagnHusbil_2026_FREEDOMtravel_vi_ses_2027_588x158.jpg\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ElmiaHusvagnHusbil_2026_FREEDOMtravel_vi_ses_2027_588x158.jpg 588w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ElmiaHusvagnHusbil_2026_FREEDOMtravel_vi_ses_2027_588x158-300x81.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ElmiaHusvagnHusbil_2026_FREEDOMtravel_vi_ses_2027_588x158-224x60.jpg 224w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ElmiaHusvagnHusbil_2026_FREEDOMtravel_vi_ses_2027_588x158-18x5.jpg 18w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ElmiaHusvagnHusbil_2026_FREEDOMtravel_vi_ses_2027_588x158-433x116.jpg 433w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 588px) 100vw, 588px\" width=\"588\" height=\"158\"   \/><\/a><\/div><\/li><li><div id=\"freed-2710737344\" class=\"method-missing not-front type-post not-theme-page\"><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/husbilslandet.com\/i-lager?amount=-1&#038;vehicle_type=camper&#038;price=219000%2C8874149&#038;y=2005%2C2027&#038;weight=1000%2C18000&#038;rea=true\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"a2t-link\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Demo sale (588 x 158 px)\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Demoutforsaljning-588-x-158-px-.jpg\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Demoutforsaljning-588-x-158-px-.jpg 588w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Demoutforsaljning-588-x-158-px--300x81.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Demoutforsaljning-588-x-158-px--224x60.jpg 224w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Demoutforsaljning-588-x-158-px--18x5.jpg 18w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Demoutforsaljning-588-x-158-px--433x116.jpg 433w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 588px) 100vw, 588px\" width=\"588\" height=\"158\"   \/><\/a><\/div><\/li><\/ul><\/div><script>( window.advanced_ads_ready || jQuery( document ).ready ).call( null, function() {var $freedslider4242000505 = jQuery( \".freed-slider-4242000505\" );$freedslider4242000505.on( \"unslider.ready\", function() { jQuery( \"div.custom-slider ul li\" ).css( \"display\", \"block\" ); });$freedslider4242000505.unslider({ delay:4000, autoplay:true, nav:false, arrows:false, infinite:true });$freedslider4242000505.on(\"mouseover\", function() {$freedslider4242000505.unslider(\"stop\");}).on(\"mouseout\", function() {$freedslider4242000505.unslider(\"start\");});});<\/script><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"575\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/couple-1850073_1280-1024x575.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-131197\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/couple-1850073_1280-1024x575.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/couple-1850073_1280-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/couple-1850073_1280-768x431.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/couple-1850073_1280-433x243.jpg 433w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/couple-1850073_1280-600x337.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/couple-1850073_1280.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-romantiska-legender\">Romantic legends<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Throughout history, many romantic legends have arisen around Valentine's Day. Valentine cards were produced as early as the 15th century and commercially produced cards were sold in the 18th century. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In modern times, a legend has emerged that tries to explain the origins of Valentine's letters. According to the legend, the imprisoned Valentine got to know the jailer's daughter, and before he died he wrote a farewell letter signed 'Your Valentine'.

A loving dinner<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Why not organise a loving dinner with your partner or family? Set a nice table, light some candles and cook something you like. Here are some suggestions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A classic 3-course dinner with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/en\/2020\/12\/forratter-till-nyar\/\">starter<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/en\/2020\/12\/huvudratter-till-nyar\/\">main course<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/en\/2020\/12\/efterratter-till-nyar\/\">dessert<\/a>.

Feast on oysters, mussels or prawns.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Go all in with a red\/pink theme! Get creative with ingredients like beetroot, tomato, red onion, red cabbage, chilli fruit, salmon, lobster, red lentils, red apples, fresh figs, raspberries... <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/en\/2017\/02\/fondue-schweizisk-svensk-och-japansk\/\">Fondue<\/a> perhaps? Choose between meat fondue and cheese fondue. Another option is to cook a different main course - and finish with chocolate fondue instead.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A romantic pasta dinner with spaghetti a l\u00e1 Lady and the Tramp on Christmas Eve. A glass of red is the icing on the cake.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/K\u00e4rlekspasta-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"K\u00e4rlekspasta f\u00f6r Alla hj\u00e4rtans dag\" class=\"wp-image-120383\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/K\u00e4rlekspasta-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/K\u00e4rlekspasta-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/K\u00e4rlekspasta-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/K\u00e4rlekspasta-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/K\u00e4rlekspasta-433x244.jpg 433w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/K\u00e4rlekspasta.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-lyxa-med-choklad\">3. Luxuriate with chocolate<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Of course, if you want a little extra something, you can add a little extra chocolate. This can be in the form of chocolate pralines (perhaps heart-shaped!) or in the form of a dessert, such as chocolate mousse, chocolate fondant, chocolate ice cream or sponge cake. Preferably topped with some red berries! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"577\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/20171007_162125-1024x577.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-56180\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/20171007_162125-1024x577.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/20171007_162125-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/20171007_162125-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/20171007_162125-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/20171007_162125-1200x676.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/20171007_162125.jpg 1204w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Chocolate cake with berries at the Grand Hotel a few years ago<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-en-present-det-ar-tanken-som-raknas\">4. a gift (it's the thought that counts)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sure, it can be nice to give a gift to someone you love.

In these times, travelling is of course limited, but in other years you can check out romantic destinations such as Paris and Florence, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/en\/2018\/08\/att-gora-i-brygge-i-belgien\/\">pier<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/en\/2018\/04\/att-se-och-gora-i-marrakech-10-masten\/\">Marrakech<\/a> or the Maldives. Or why not a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/en\/2026\/01\/harliga-spahotell-i-europa\/\">lovely spa hotel in Europe<\/a>? It can also be romantic in the Swedish mountains or at a spa. Or why not settle for a cosy evening at home? Maybe candlelight, a fire, good food and a (romantic) film.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"622\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Biograd-hj\u00e4rta-1024x622.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-94708\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Biograd-hj\u00e4rta-1024x622.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Biograd-hj\u00e4rta-600x365.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Biograd-hj\u00e4rta-300x182.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Biograd-hj\u00e4rta-768x467.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Biograd-hj\u00e4rta-433x263.jpg 433w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Biograd-hj\u00e4rta.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-hur-firar-du-alla-hjartans-dag\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Hur_firar_du_Alla_hjartans_dag\"><\/span>How do you celebrate Valentine's Day?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We believe that love is important every day, not just one day a year. <em>Men<\/em> we plan to cook an extra good dinner and buy a luxurious dessert.
