Calgary: 5 Unusual Valentine’s Day Date Ideas

When cross border moving during the Valentine’s Day season, be sure to remember to celebrate with your loved one. Calgary may not be Paris, but it is still known as a romantic city, and holds lots of potential for a special Valentine’s Day. As the big day approaches, there is the decision to make about where to spend the holiday. Fortunately, Calgary offers much to choose from.

Try a small but lovely restaurant called The Blue House Cafe on 19th Street at Northmount Drive NW. They have Latin American food with an emphasis on seafood. Be sure to get a reservation and ask for a secluded table. Romance comes easy with the live music and close atmosphere.

Consider spending the day in the beauty of nature. Travel to Banff, 100 miles to the west, to the oldest national park in the country. There are beautiful mountains, glaciers, ice fields, and forests to see. Go to see Bow Falls or Lake Louise. Stay the night at the Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise, and take your beloved on a horse drawn sleigh ride.

If you want to stay in Calgary, you might miss the Valentine’s Day crowds if you take a brisk walk in Prince Island Park along the Bow River Pathway over the pedestrian bridge. This would be the perfect backdrop to pop that special question, or just to declare your love.

Pamper your better half with a shared day at the Riverside Spa. This premiere Calgary spa experience offers a beautiful facility and a professional spa team at your service. Spend the day in relaxing comfort as you both receive spa treatments to your liking. Nurture your romance as you nurture your mind, body, and spirit.

Once your cross border moving task is underway, remember to make plans for Valentine’s Day. This task should be easy with the amenities that Calgary has to offer.
