Love during a pandemic is tricky. In years past, you might’ve gone to a concert or movie theater and hung out amid a pack of other humans in an enclosed space. You might’ve breathed on the person you were with. Though you may be vaccinated and boosted, you could still be considering staying in this year, and celebrating the holiday in a safe space. If you and your socially distanced significant other are trying to plan out how to spend a devoted-to-togetherness, snuggle-up kind of day across a gaping internet connection (or maybe even sitting next to each other on the couch), there are a variety of activities you can do together, virtually. From online museum tours to a movie night, you can still create a fun and memorable Valentine’s Day in 2022. Here are nine ideas to get you planning. Museum dates are a classic. In lieu of going to a gallery in real life, you can find various tours on YouTube of museums around the world. There’s one series, for example, that’s essentially a slideshow of famous works from the Prado Museum in Madrid, Spain. Elsewhere on YouTube, you can find a walking tour of the Louvre in Paris. Google Arts and Culture also offers virtual tours of sorts that cover famous museums. Depending on what each museum offers, you can scroll through collections the way you would your own Google photos, or check out the online exhibits, which tend to offer some more background information. For your date, you can try to synchronize or screen-share, so you’re looking at the same art at the same time. Don’t forget to browse spots like Eventbrite or Facebook’s events page for specific tours, classes or other online activities on offer during Valentine’s. On Eventbrite, you can find a virtual mixology class or painting class. Airbnb will let you book tickets for virtual experiences like a spooky tour of Edinburgh, or an evening with a Flamenco composer.
