Whether you're looking to pop the question, planning your honeymoon, or just want to rekindle that spark, there are plenty of cities that make it easy to focus on romance. From the lights of Paris to Italy's famed city on water, add one of these destinations to your travel bucket list.
What Are Some of the Most Romantic Cities?
1. Paris, France
No romantic destination list is complete without Paris, the City of Light—and love. Walk by the Seine while admiring the glittering Eiffel Tower, take in a performance at the Moulin Rouge, or share a kiss on the Pont des Arts Bridge. When the weather is warm, pack a picnic complete with cheese baguettes, and, of course, wine. Couples who appreciate architecture, French cuisine, and art will have no trouble falling in love with this city.
2. Positano, Italy
The most famous village along the sparkling Amalfi Coast, Positano’s views alone are something to share with your partner. There are also beaches to relax on, hiking trails to challenge yourselves with, and even a cave to explore via boat tour. Known as the Grotta dello Smeraldo, or Emerald Grotto, it features emerald-hued water in addition to stunning cave formations. Positano also offers plenty of delicious Italian fare and boutiques.
3. Dublin, Ireland
If you and your special someone are Oscar Wilde fans, visit the Romantic author’s memorial in Dublin. This vibrant city offers so much to see and do. Walk through the flower-heavy fields of St. Stephen’s Green or the book-lined walls of Trinity College. If you want to stop for a midday drink, consider Temple Bar, the largest pub in Dublin that takes up several city blocks and features both indoor and outdoor seating areas. There’s also the Guinness Storehouse and Jameson Distillery, depending on your libation preferences.
4. Venice, Italy
The famous gondola rides through the city's canals are just one reason to travel to Venice with your significant other. Its many backstreets and alleyways are ideal for enjoying romantic moments, while the Church of San Giorgio Maggiore features a well-known clock tower that offers stunning views of this magical city. There are also piazzas for enjoying snacks and drinks, as well as St. Mark’s Square, the center of Venice—the perfect spot for a selfie.
