There are a heap of the most romantic cities in the world to visit; so much so that it can be tricky to nail down a few that really shine. Not only that, each country and then continent seem to have their favourites that are incredible to visit.
Plus, there’s also a heap of epic places to propose, too.
This exactly why I wanted to share some most romantic cities in the world that you’ll love. Now, rather than include just traditional list of firm favourites, I’ve included a fair few curveballs that’ll hopefully intrigue you, too.
Some of these cities on the list are cities that have been voted time and time again as amongst the most romantic in the world. And, let’s be honest, with good reason too. That being said, there’s a few that I hope you hadn’t thought about either?
Each of the most romantic cities in the world has a totally gorgeous, romantic element to them. Some are paired with a flair of adventure, history or just great places to chill with a loved one.
Plus, each of the cities has a heap of the best places to eat, too. After all, a romantic date over a meal of burnt chicken and wilted veggies is bound to put even the most romantic of individuals off.
Anyway, take a look below at some of the most romantic cities in the world to visit. Have the best trip.
1.) Paris
Often known as the city of love, Paris is one of the most romantic cities in the world to visit. After all, it’s got the Eiffel Tower and a heap of other gorgeous spots, too.
Type of couple: Varies greatly. At one extreme we have the artistic types who see life in vivid colour and speak in sonnets.
On the other hand, we have the love birds who think their time in Paris totally defines them whereas if they looked close enough, they’d realise they actually brought said ‘magic’ with them in the first place.

2.) Venice
Venice is easily known as one of the most romantic cities in the world to visit, that’s a given. Honestly, with all its canals, gondolas and stunning architecture, it’s a place you kinda can’t beat.
Type of couple: Came to see the sights, and maybe propose.
They then proceeded to meet the love of their life in front of a beautiful monument. Almost like something from a romance novel. They don’t like romance novels.

3.) London
Okay, so London is totally amazing!
That being said, it doesn’t have the same reputation as one of the most romantic cities in the world to visit. Though, with neighbours like Paris, what do you expect?
London has some many epic areas to visit and a heap of tasty restaurants and best views that totally make it romantic.
Type of couple: Grounded earthy people who really enjoy life away from the hustle and bustle of London. Will probably end up having 5 children (they started off only really wanting 2) and living in a huge converted farmhouse in the country. 😉

San Francisco might not instantly come to mind when you think of the most romantic cities in the world to visit, but it should.

Type of couple: Smart. Like really smart. They eat organic foods and have intellectual conversations. Occasionally come out with something remarkably dumb and you love them more for this. Genuinely do not understand the life of an artist though conversely really appreciate (and are enthusiastic about) the artists’ work.

Type of couple: Loves to travel. One half studied art history at some point or is really into art and architecture. Probably has a little more pocket money to spend as it can be more expensive than other cities.
