If you’ve watched Emily In Paris (specifically Season 3 Episode 9: Love Is In The Air), you’d know Paris is full of romantic spots to make your memorable moment all the more special. So are you ready to get swept off your feet in the City of Love? Because we’re taking you on a romantic journey around its star attraction — the Eiffel Tower.
This iconic landmark has been setting hearts aflutter for decades, and for good reason. It’s the perfect spot for a confession of love, and if you’re lucky, you might even get to see the message “I love you” written in 300 different languages across the tower during its Valentine’s Day light show! The tower’s restaurants, 58 Tour Eiffel and Le Jules Verne, are great options for couples looking to make their Valentine’s Day extra special. Both French restaurants offer a romantic dinner with a panoramic view of Paris and a variety of surprises, including complimentary glasses of champagne, special desserts, and small gifts. As you dine, you’ll be able to take in the breathtaking views of Paris, making the experience even more magical.
For our singles, the Eiffel Tower is still a great place to visit as you enjoy the views, take those Instagram-worthy shots, and maybe even find someone new to share a croissant with. If you’re feeling extra fancy, you can even take a boat tour on the Seine River and enjoy a unique view of the metal tower.

Santorini is an absolute must-visit destination for couples looking to make the most out of an intimate trip. The island’s breathtaking views, romantic atmosphere, and delicious food make it the perfect spot for a proposal or a romantic getaway.
The island’s famous white-washed buildings and blue-domed churches perched on the cliffs of the caldera make for an unforgettable backdrop for any occasion — be it a proposal or a self-love photoshoot. As breathtaking as its views, the island boasts charming villages, such as Oia and Fira, which are perfect for a romantic stroll. If you prefer long walks on the beach, visit the Red Beach for red sand and crystal-clear waters as the surrounding cliffs engulf the horizon.
Book a luxurious villa with a private pool for the ideal getaway as you indulge yourselves with a couples massage and a soak in the hot springs. For the sea-loving farers, you can explore the island’s coastline and see the famous caldera from the sea with a private catamaran tour as well.

3. The Trevi Fountain (Rome, Italy)

Dubbed a city of love by many, Rome is home to many iconic romantic spots, but none quite as famous as the Trevi Fountain. This stunning baroque masterpiece is a must-see for any couple (and single!) visiting the country on Valentine’s Day.
Located in the heart of the city, the Trevi Fountain is known for its tradition of throwing coins over your shoulder into the fountain. According to legend, throwing a coin into the fountain successfully guarantees your return to Rome. So, if you’re planning to propose, what better way to seal the deal than to throw a coin into the fountain and make a promise to return to the City of Love together?
Enjoy a romantic dinner at a nearby trattoria, where you can enjoy some of the best pasta ever. Head to Il Ristoro dal Patriota, tucked away in a little courtyard around the corner from the fountain, for popular pasta dishes like the Spaghetti Carbonara and Bucatini All-Amatriciana. Opt for outdoor seating to soak up the romantic atmosphere and watch people attempt the fountain’s tradition.

The Grand Canyon is one of the most awe-inspiring natural wonders in the world, and what better way to experience it than with your significant other? This proposal-worthy spot offers breathtaking views as you take a romantic hike along one of the many trails that wind along the rim. Imagine holding hands with your loved one as you take in the stunning views of the canyon and the Colorado River below.
For a truly unique and romantic experience, take a helicopter tour through the Grand Canyon and enjoy a bird’s eye view of the vast canyon and all of its beauty. From above, you’ll be able to see parts of the canyon that are inaccessible by foot or car and is a great way to beat the crowds for a private and intimate proposal. Some tours even offer a landing option on the bottom of the canyon, where you can take a walk and enjoy a champagne toast or a picnic lunch with your significant other.
For couples who prefer a more laid-back romantic getaway, the Grand Canyon also offers scenic drives and ranger-led tours as you explore the colourful ridges from the comforts of a vehicle. There are also art exhibits and educational programs as well.
