Havana, Cuba, has made the list of the top 10 international destinations for Valentine’s Day vacations for the first time since American travel restrictions to the Caribbean country were eased, according to a new study by travel insurance provider Allianz Global Assistance.

New York and Cancun top the list as this year’s most popular domestic and international destinations for the romantic weekend.
Domestically, the results showed that couples are heading to New York followed in popularity by Las Vegas, Chicago, Los Angeles, Atlanta, Boston, Phoenix, San Francisco, Dallas and Miami.
Internationally, Americans are traveling to Cancun, Mexico, for a getaway followed in popularity by San Juan, Puerto Rico; Cabo San Lucas, Mexico; Montreal, Canada; Puerto Vallarta, Mexico; Havana, Cuba; Nassau, Bahamas; Oranjestad, Aruba; Toronto, Canada and Montego Bay, Jamaica.
