Etiquette rules regulate certain restrictions on kissing in various places. Yuliia Savchuk, the author of training programs on modern etiquette and elegance, has shared where you can and cannot kiss in public.

However, you shouldn't show your emotions too passionately in public, as it is considered a sign of bad manners. For example, members of the British royal family always behave with restraint and nobility in public.
