The French Riviera is altogether one of the most breathtaking views we’ve ever seen! Turquoise waters meet silver pebbles as you stroll along the boardwalk in Nice.

Maybe you’d like to spend your day wine tasting in Provence and cap it with a lovely dinner on the water in Cassis?  Everything on the Cot D’Azur is within reach by train in just a matter of a couple hours.

4. Tuscany

Wine taste, enjoy delicious local cheeses and meats, and enjoy the peace and serenity that makes Italy exactly what it is.  Tuscany is the epitome of what it Italy stands for, so as you can expect, it’s incredibly romantic.

Everyone things of beautiful white beaches when they think of Santorini, but Santorini has much more to offer.  From a beautiful view of the volcano to massive cliffs, to Red Beach, and even Black Beach… For her size, Santorini has a ton to offer.

6.  New York City

There’s something sexy about being lost in a sea of 9 million people in a huge city with your love.  Plus, let’s be real, you’ve seen so many love scenes from movies in NYC so we bet you’ll want to reenact them.

7.  Big Sur

Big Sur simply makes you feel like you’re no longer in California. Take a morning hike through the beautiful forest and spend the after your afternoon laying on some of the most beautiful and unique beaches in the world.

Make sure you break out a tent and cuddle with your loved one!

8.  Maui

Hawaii is an archipelago of heaven. The best things about Hawaii include the fact that you can reach it within about 5 hours from LA and you’re still in the US, so language and currency are not a concern if you’re American.

Maui’s natural beauty rivals just about any island in the world so it naturally makes for a beautiful, romantic trip!

9.  Los Angeles

We are blessed to call such a romantic and beautiful city home.  No, downtown isn’t the “LA” you normally think of, but the beaches and beautiful hills surrounding the city sure are.

Southern California is home to some of the best weather, food, and aesthetically pleasing beaches in the US.

10. Amberg

Amberg is a tiny, (yet adorable), town in Germany just a couple hours outside of Munich. We stayed here during our trip to Oktoberfest with one of our friends who lives there. The town is filled with German cliches that bring a smile to your face and fill your heart with love.
