On the Champ de Mars in Paris, France, stands the Eiffel Structure, a wrought iron tower with latticework. his will be the beginning of the list of most romantic places to propose in Europe. It bears the name of Gustave Eiffel, an engineer whose business planned and constructed the tower.
Even though the notion of making a proposal at the top of the Eiffel Tower is rather cliché, how can we refuse? At the summit, you could feel a little lightheaded, but that will unavoidably blend with the excitement in your heart. As you take in the sights of Paris, the City of Light (and romance) is the ideal location to record this moment that will change your life.
Restaurants are located on the first and second levels of the tower's three tourist levels. The tallest observation deck that is open to the public in the European Union is on the top level, which is 276 meters (906 feet) above sea level. To access the first and second levels, tickets for the elevator or stairs can be purchased. The total ascent is 600 steps, with over 300 steps between the first level and the ground level and another 300 steps between the first level and the second level. The upper floor is only often accessible via elevator, despite having a staircase.
For the best atmosphere, go after dark, and maybe reserve a table for a celebration at Le Jules Verne, the second-floor restaurant of Michelin-starred chef Alain Ducasse. Of course, only if he or she agrees.Location: 7th arrondissement, Paris, France

At the magnificent Horta Maze in one of Barcelona's oldest gardens, time seems to stand still at Maze Park. It was developed towards the end of the 18th century when a Catalan aristocracy chose to remodel an ancient, large family estate.
Bagutti, an Italian architect, and Delvalet, a French gardener, created the plan, structures, and ornamentation of the garden. In the middle of the 19th century, it was expanded, and this expansion adopted a romantic style. The family and Barcelona City Council came to an arrangement in 1969 for the family to purchase the estate and make it publicly accessible. In 1993, restoration work commenced. Its other places, statues, and notably its luxuriant foliage make a visit truly pleasurable, despite the fact that the remarkable maze is known as the gardens.
The statue of Eros, the Greek god of love, is located inside the maze and may bring you some additional luck. Find miniature temples constructed in the Classical style by navigating the maze-like walkways; just be sure to stick together to avoid getting lost in the throng or in the corners.Location: Passeig dels Castanyers, Barcelona, Spain

With spectacular views of the city, the London Eye is the largest observation wheel in the world. The London Eye can accommodate 32 capsules (although it is possible to board capsule number 33 as number 13 has been skipped). One cycle lasts for around 30 minutes, during which time tourists reach a top height of 443 feet (135m). You can see up to 25 miles (40 km) distant from there. There is no commentary on board, but tourists should be ready for some ruckus as each capsule can accommodate up to 28 people at busy periods. Wheelchair users have complete access to capsules.
We advise you to reserve a seat in "Cupid's Capsule," a unique pod in which champagne will be given as you slowly rotate. You and your companion will be given a bottle of Pommery Brut Royal champagne and a box of opulent truffles as you enjoy the beautiful surroundings. You will have 30 minutes to yourself with your loved one above the city.
If purchased online, individual ticket costs are reduced by 10%. Adults can ride for £19.95 on the day of purchase; children aged 4 to 15 can ride for $14; senior citizens can ride for £16.50.

On the Greek Cyclades islands of Thira (Santorini) and Therasia, in the South Aegean, is the small settlement and former community of Oia. The houses and restaurants are built into niches carved into the crater's seaward edge. It is situated on the steep slope of the caldera. A center square and narrow alleys are present. Compared to Fira town, this settlement has substantially longer daylight hours. Since its paths are so narrow, they become crowded during the tourist season. The town's picturesque surroundings include a number of whitewashed churches, attractive traditional Cycladic homes, and cave homes built into the rock face at the top of the cliff. It is situated in a spot that offers spectacular views of the caldera's sunset.
Some claim that the Oia volcanic cliffs on the Greek island of Santorini offer the best views of the world's most stunning sunsets. Others congregate in the morning to observe the sun rise. Both occasions are lovely and serene, providing romantic illumination to the central query. After that, reserve a table at one of the picturesque tavernas and consider whether you can now afford dessert. This is absolutely going to be a really sweet proposal.Location: islands of Thira and Therasia, Cyclades, Greece

Germany is home to many fantastical castles, but the 850-year-old Burg Eltz feels especially fairytale with its scarlet timbers and 70 promontories over the Elzbach.
The castle was built in an area that, during the Roman era, served as a vital commerce route connecting prosperous farmlands with their markets. The region was taken by the Franks after the Western Roman Empire fell in the late fifth century B.E. However, during the division of Charlemagne's dominion, his son Louis the Pious received the region (814). During this time, a straightforward manor hall with an earthen fence stood on the site.
You can jokingly say that you would defend your lover's honor in a jousting match as you admire the sturdy suits of armor in the Knights' Hall. If the courtyard from Beauty and the Beast doesn't sound like a good proposal location, try the castle's obscenely picturesque stone bridge at sunrise for optimal mood lighting, or find some privacy in the 300-hectare pine arboretum that blocks off the rest of the world. Düsseldorf is a few hours' journey from Burg Eltz.

Verona, which is located a little west of Venice, is renowned for being a city of lovers. You may find many star-crossed lovers beneath Juliet's Balcony, an antique structure with a few charming little balconies near the Ponte Pietra Roman Bridge. The setting for regional food with inventive accents and a finely curated wine list is charming dining rooms. Anyone who wants to extend their stay can do so in a lovely apartment.
But if you got engaged here, you'd lose out on the second major interest of the city: wine. The terrace at Osteria Ponte Pietra is dangerously perched over the Adige, and the 43-page wine list at this candlelit underground restaurant embraces the vino theme. The Michelin Guide-rated cuisine, however, is also certain to make you and your significant other swoon. Try the freshly browned, melt-in-your-mouth Fiorentina steak and savor its succulent juices while nibbling on dripping potatoes. If feasting in such decadent food doesn't scream true love, we're not sure what does.

Northeastern Italian city of Venice serves as the region of Veneto's administrative center. It is situated on a collection of 118 little islands that are connected by more than 400 bridges and divided by canals. The Venetian Lagoon, a shallow confined bay between the Po and Piave river mouths, is where the islands are located (more exactly between the Brenta and the Sile).
Venice is undoubtedly a major cliché, but so what? Hire a gondola in the wonderful city known as La Serenissima, and let the gondolier's song serve as the background music for your marriage proposal. Plan your proposal for the evening when you might find some of the iconic bridges briefly unoccupied and the lanes quiet if you want to avoid the tourist hordes.
Despite some difficulties (such as an excessive amount of visitors and issues brought on by pollution, tide peaks, and cruise ships sailing too close to buildings), Venice continues to be a very popular tourist destination, a significant cultural hub, and has consistently been rated as the most beautiful city in the world. According to The Times and The New York Times, it is one of Europe's most romantic cities and "unquestionably the most magnificent city ever built by man."

Southwest Bavaria in Germany's Füssen district is home to the historicist Neuschwanstein Castle, a 19th-century building perched atop a rocky slope above the settlement of Hohenschwangau. Its surroundings are distinguished by the transition between an area with mountainous terrain in the north that appears flat in comparison and the southern Alpine foothills (toward the close Austrian border). Although it started in 1869, the construction was never finished.
The King was supposed to use the castle as his personal abode until his death in 1886. The public was allowed access to it not long after his passing. Since then, Neuschwanstein Castle has welcomed more than 61 million visitors. Annual visitor numbers exceed 1.3 million, peaking at 6,000 per day in the summer.
A representation of Germany, this fairytale castle near Munich served as the inspiration for the Disney castle. Most visitors to the castle take guided tours, but if you do some searching online, you might be able to arrange a special private experience. Alternately, choose the numerous spires and turrets of the castle as the setting for an outdoor (and less expensive) proposal. For a day, you can live the life of a prince or princess, but without the depressing hardships of the Middle Ages.

It must be appropriate to make a proposal in the Eternal City. The Colosseum may be a cynical suitor's option due to its history of mass killings and martyrdom, but it lacks some of the essential romance. However, the lavish Trevi Fountain has the added advantage of a coin-tossing legend in addition to being well-known for its portrayal in motion pictures. You can come back to Rome, perhaps on your honeymoon, by tossing a coin over your left shoulder in the reverse direction.
The Trevi Fountain, built in the 18th century in Rome's Trevi neighborhood by Giuseppe Pannini and other individuals, was designed by Italian architect Nicola Salvi. It is one of the most well-known fountains in the world and the largest Baroque fountain in the city, measuring 26.3 meters (86 feet) high and 49.15 meters (161.3 feet) broad.
The Palazzo Poli, which has a new façade with a massive order of Corinthian pillars connecting the two main stories, serves as the fountain's backdrop. The massive project, which is currently filling the tiny square with water and rockwork, has as its theme the taming of the rivers. Oceanus' shell chariot is steered by tritons who control hippocamps.Location: Trevi district in Rome, Italy

Prague, Czech Republic's Charles Bridge is a historic stone arch bridge that spans the Vltava river. King Charles IV oversaw its construction, which began in 1357 and was completed in the early 15th century. Today, it's one of the most romantic places to propose in Europe.
The bridge is almost 10 meters (33 feet) broad and 516 meters (1,693 feet) long. It was created as a bow bridge with 16 arches protected by ice guards, like the Regensburg Stone Bridge. The 30 statues and statuaries, the majority of which are Baroque, that line the balustrade create a unique fusion of artistic eras with the Gothic bridge beneath them. The majority of statues were built between 1683 and 1714. They feature different saints and patron saints who were revered during the period. The bridge was decorated by some of the most well-known Bohemian sculptors of the day, including Matthias Braun, Jan Brokoff, and his sons Michael Joseph and Ferdinand Maxmilian.
This is perhaps the best location in Prague to experience the spirit of Old Prague. It's a fantastic site for a proposal with its stunning view of the Royal Palace and the river and its solemn Baroque statues bearing witness to your love. To avoid the throng, the hawkers, and the aspiring authors with Kafka fixations, arrive early in the morning or late at night.Location: crosses the Vltava river in Prague, Czech Republic

Verona, which has 258,031 residents, is a city in the Veneto region of Italy. Due to its rich artistic history, numerous annual fairs and performances, the opera season in the Arena, a historic Roman amphitheater, and other attractions, it is one of the most popular tourist destinations in northern Italy.
One of the northern Italian cities with the most abundant Roman ruins is Verona. The third-largest remaining Roman amphitheatre, the amphitheater, or Arena, is the most notable of all and is currently used for opera. The Roman theater (with an associated archaeological museum) and two gateways are also from the first century CE. The Arco dei Gavi was built in the first century BCE and rebuilt in 1932. Because of its urban design and architecture, UNESCO named the city a World Heritage Site in November 2000.
Romeo and Juliet supposedly lived out their tragic love story in this charming medieval city. Obviously, it never happened. Someone invented it. However, there are probably not many more romantic locations than Verona's "Juliet's Balcony" to propose. You can ask a question below in the courtyard or surprise your partner up high (in which case, be prepared for multiple responses). Get there early to avoid crowds.Location: northern Italy

In Granada, Andalusia, Spain, there is a complex of palaces and fortifications known as the Alhambra. In addition to having remarkable instances of Spanish Renaissance architecture, it is one of the most well-known Islamic architectural monuments and one of the historically Islamic world's best-preserved palaces.
It is distinguished by the use of the courtyard as a focal point and fundamental building block around which other halls and chambers were set up. The focal point of a courtyard would often be a fountain or reflection pool. The inside of the building was the main emphasis of the décor, which was mostly done with tile mosaics on the lower walls and carved stucco on the top walls. The three main categories of decorative motifs were geometric patterns, vegetable themes, and Arabic inscriptions. Muqarnas, a form of sculpture that resembles "stalactites," was also utilized to create three-dimensional elements like vaulted ceilings.
Nothing beats a little exoticism a la Moors. The opulent Alhambra Palace and Generlife Gardens in Granada are right out of the pages of 1001 Nights, where lovers held rendezvous in the passageways and vegetation. You can flash the ring at the Court of the Lions, but there are also numerous elaborate palace windows where you can do it. And even if the answer is "No," you'll still have some amazing pictures.Location: Granada, Andalusia, Spain

One of Switzerland's most breathtaking sights is undoubtedly the view of the lake with a heart-shaped shape - Lagh de Calvaresc. The lake is difficult to get to because of its placement at the summit of the mountain. The settlement of Rossa has a trail that leads to the lake. At 1064 meters above sea level, the Rossa settlement can be found. The trail leading to the lake is a section of the well-known "Sentiero Alpino Calanca," a high-altitude path that follows the ridges of Alpine mountain ranges. The "Setiero Alpino Calanca" can be walked in its entirety in around three days. It is possible to spend the night in many shelters along the route.
At Calvaresc, nature herself plays Cupid. This heart-shaped mountain lake in Switzerland is located close to the San Bernadino Pass at a height of around 2,100 meters. Additionally, the Romansh spoken in this region of the country is so similar to "romance" that it's impossible not to fall in love. Outdoor enthusiasts will be rewarded for their dedication because it takes five miles to hike to the lake from the closest town, Rossa. Don't want to complete the entire hike in one day? Take refuge in the Capanna Buffalora chalet, a charmingly rustic but comfortable inn that provides mesmerizing views of the Calanca Valley (and, of course, plenty of fresh Alpine air).

Take your future spouse to Poland and the stunningly gothic Bronisawa Chapel in Krakow if you've always wanted to get married in a church.
The Blessed Bronisława Chapel is a neo-Gothic Roman Catholic chapel in Kraków, Poland, built between 1856 and 1861 inside the fortified walls of a military fortification built by the Habsburg dynasty during the Austrian Partition of Poland. The chapel was built to take the place of the Polish church from the 18th century, which the Austrians had destroyed in 1854 as they built their stronghold in the Zwierzyniec neighborhood.
The cozy church, which is incorporated into the fortified walls, is decorated with arched stained glass windows, symmetrical towers, and a shrine to a female hermit who once resided there. The 300-meter-high Kosciuszko Mound, one of Krakow's most romantic picnic and panorama locations, is situated directly in front of the chapel and is at its most seductive at dusk.
