Where To Find Love Locks In Eastern Europe

We are all very familiar with the common material representations of love. We often see these objects that represent our affection for another person during Valentine’s Day, which is right around the corner. From chocolates, flowers, to paper cutouts of cupid, these represent love and everything it stands for. But, have you ever encountered something representing the same emotion, commonly called love locks?

Love Locks Around Eastern Europe

We are all familiar with how Valentine’s Day is celebrated in Western Culture. It could be similar in other parts of Eastern Europe, but in the places we’ve listed below, love can be represented in the form of a lock. People commonly call these as love locks, and it is common practice for a couple to place a lock somewhere in a public place during Valentine’s Day. In fact, it doesn’t even need to be the day of love for couples to “lock in” how they feel for each other.

What are love locks?

Most often, these love locks are placed on fences, bridges or gates or public fixtures to symbolise a couple’s eternal love for each other. The key is, of course, thrown away so the lock stays in place. When you put a lock on something, it means that you’re trying to keep this something from moving away or getting lost. That’s exactly what lovers want to happen.
