Brimming with beauty, Amalfi Coast is one of Italy’s jewels and a UNESCO World Heritage site. With stunning landscapes of mountains, sea, pebbled beaches and extraordinary architecture, one will be spoilt for choice when it comes to choosing a proposal spot. However, there are various towns within the coast such as Positano with its pebbled beach or Ravello with its Terrace of Infinity. 

Tip: For Instagram-worthy shots with the Spiaggia Grande as your backdrop, opt to propose at the beach, on a boat facing the harbour or from Franco’s Bar – be sure to get there early as the best seats in the house can fill up quickly.

A 95-storey tall building, The Shard is a relatively new addition to the city’s skyline. Boasting some of the best views in the city, The Shard has quickly gained itself the reputation as a romantic destination and popular proposal spot. With its restaurants and hotels, you can opt to book a table or a room for your proposal or pop the question on the viewing gallery at level 72. 

Tip: As a tourist attraction, the crowd is a concern. However, because there isn’t a time-limit you can always wait for the right moment. If you’re looking for exclusivity and a one-of-a-kind experience, opt for The Shard’s proposal package.

Perfect for the outdoorsy couple, Table Mountain is one of South Africa’s most famous landmarks that holds some of the most spectacular views. Here, you can choose to pop the question surrounded by the magnificence of Mother Nature as you watch to welcome the sunset or sunrise or in the cable-car to the mountain. However, do note that the cable-car rotates 360-degrees on the way up. 

Tip: Afternoon bookings for the cableway is recommended for a quieter experience or opt for the sunset special for a magical touch to your proposal.

One of the world’s architectural beauties, the Taj Mahal is the perfect venue for romantics. Its stunning architecture of delicately carved marble will only add to the romance and mystery of your proposal. However, do note that it may be quite a challenge to pop the question at the main complex because of the crowd.  

Tip: To avoid the crowds, drop by at dawn right when it opens. Otherwise, the Mehtab Bagh complex may serve as a suitable alternative. It offers the view of the Taj Mahal, perfect for framing your photo accordingly.

Stunning all year round, you’re free to drop by the park any time of the year and considering its size, take your pick from the variety of romantic and picturesque spots to pop the question – from The Carousel and stone bridges to castle terraces to a summerhouse.

What’s a list of popular proposal spots without the City of Love and Light? Filled with iconic landmarks, luxurious hotels and charming square, pop the question in private or public without losing the romantic and classy vibe. Some of the classic spots in Paris include the Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomphe and the Notre Dame Cathedral. However, if you’re looking for a less than traditional venue, the Cherry Blossom tree in the Square Jean XXIII by the Notre Dame Cathedral is a possible option. 

Tip: For a full-length shot of the Eiffel Tower as your proposal backdrop, pop the question at the Trocadéro gardens.
