If you’re thinking of starting a life with the one you love, there are perhaps no more picturesque spots to propose than those found in Europe. From landmarks to gardens to bridges, European destinations offer some of the most enchanting areas in the world. Because many of these destinations are quite popular, accommodation can be readily found, whether you’re looking for a romantic hideaway or a luxury hotel. If you’re planning on proposing, check out these top European destinations:

1.   Paris

Perhaps the most obvious destination, proposing in Paris doesn’t have to turn into a cliché. The Eiffel Tower makes a perfect backdrop to a stunning wedding proposal, but so does the Louvre and any one of the many cathedrals in the city. Why not celebrate the lovely event in a charming bistro and order their best bottle of red?

2.   London Eye

A major landmark of London, the London Eye encloses riders in a window filled capsule, providing stunning views of London and the Thames River. If you’re planning on proposing on the Eye, try taking a private ride at night under the stars for the most breathtaking views - and the most romantic feel. Amazing souvenirs guaranteed!

3.   Keukenhof Park

Located near Lisse, Netherlands, and easily reachable from Amsterdam, Keukenhof Park is literally the world’s most expansive flower garden. The best time to propose is around mid-April, when the tulips are in full-bloom and when the park is at its best. Filled with flowering trees, vast areas of emerald green grass and colorful flowers, you’ll be sure to impress your partner with a well-planned and out-of-the-ordinary proposal in the park.

4.   The Charles Bridge

Located in the Czech Republic, the bridge offers stunning views of Prague, especially at night. With the city lit up as your backdrop, proposing on the bridge will almost ensure a positive response from any girl with princess dreams. Why not book one of the capital’s most romantic hotel for the special occasion?

5.   Piazzale Michelangelo

Copies of Michelangelo’s works are located throughout the park, which was designed by Poggi. The park was built in dedication to the famous artist and offers beautiful views of Florence, Italy. With many statues and beautifully landscaped grounds, the spot may be ideal for those with marriage on the mind.
