Get inspired for Valentine’s Day with these 9 romantic spots

Whether you celebrate Valentine’s Day with chocolate, homemade dessert, flowers, a romantic stroll, or you don’t celebrate it at all, it’s a great opportunity to show the people who are important to you how much you care. And you can count on Local Guides to recommend the best things to see and do for such an occasion.

Did you know that Google Maps can help you plan a romantic day out? Just type ‘Romantic attractions in (your city)’ in the search bar to see a list of suggestions. We’ve rounded up some of these spots to give you inspiration. They are also perfect bucket list ideas for future explorations on your own, with family, and even pets! But don’t take our word for it — see what other Local Guides say about them.

Brooklyn Botanic Garden in New York City, USA

“Great place to explore with a toddler. My kid loved the space, the flowers, the landscape, and most importantly, the Japanese garden. It’s definitely a spot that I’d recommend for a romantic date for those who are interested,” says Local Guide Ronin Raphael.

Sky Garden in London, UK

“A perfect spot for some romantic time. Splendid view of London from the 35th floor. It is especially breathtaking during summer sunset,” says Local Guide Anoohya Vishu.

Rialto Bridge in Venice, Italy

“There are plenty of perfect spots to watch the boats and gondolas racing each other up and down the waterway. You can’t really claim that you have been to Venice unless you have crossed the bridge a couple times,” says Local Guide Samuel Leung.

Kiyomizu-dera in Kyoto, Japan

“They’ve made good efforts to make it wheelchair accessible, and recently I went there with a relative who uses a wheelchair. Aside from the fact this is an important and beautiful temple in its own right, I didn’t want my family to miss out on the wonderful views over Kyoto from the temple,” says Local Guide Tiphaine M M.

While there, you might also want to check out the Love Fortune Stone, which is said to help people looking for a partner find one!

Escadaria Selarón in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

“The stairs host some musicians, some lovers come to kiss, the atmosphere is romantic and playful at the same time. Can’t miss it for the world!,” says Local Guide Julien Condamines.

Bondi to Bronte Coastal Walk in Sydney, Australia

“Very beautiful walk with a great view onto the ocean. Quite quick and not really tiring, but take your time and enjoy the walk with friends or your partner!,” says Local Guide Maximilian Pfeiffer.

Heart Lake Dubai in Dubai, United Arab Emirates

“A very beautiful location secluded from the city, suitable for spending a good time, picnicking, and walking,” says Local Guide H MOOSAWI.

Nairobi National Park in Nairobi, Kenya

“It’s a great and versatile place for a romantic break in the city or family get-together and bonding,” says Local Guide Kiki Muganda.

Mysore Palace in Mysuru, India

“A nice place where you will feel the history of India in a colorful way.

Don’t miss the evenings, when the entire palace is lit up. It’s magical,” says Local Guide Jiju.

Thanks for helping people about it, I wish Googlers did accept some of the tens of problems that are being mentioned every day and ever once in a while announced that a problem is really solved or a system is developed in a more efficient way.

Well never a truer saying @DeniGu “you learn something new every day”. I didn’t know that Google Maps can help you plan a romantic day out by simply typing ‘Romantic attractions in (your city)’ in the search bar!!! Well I just tried that and top of my list for Melbourne is none other than the Carlton Gardens and I couldn’t agree more. A romantic stroll at these gardens is a wonderful way to celebrate Valentine’s Day with chocolate :slightly_smiling_face:
