1/10
New York, USA
The city that never sleeps boasts an array of romantic spots to propose to your significant other. Those who want a skyline view can head straight up to the iconic Empire State Building which gives an impressive view of The Statue of Liberty and the entire city. If you’re looking to go big and make a public profession of your love, Times Square is the place to be. For those wanting a quieter, more personal option, you certainly can’t go wrong with Central Park.
2/10
Paris, France
It’s hard to outdo the City of Lights when it comes to iconic landmarks and grand gestures of love. Many celebrities have made successful marriage proposals at the Eiffel Tower and we can certainly see why. Paris has romantic spots for any proposal scene, from the cultured Louvre to the fun-filled Euro Disney. Those seeking to propose marriage over a romantic dinner will certainly not lack options in the artistic and charming enclave of Montmartre. The cobblestoned streets, cosy corner cafes, grand architecture, scenic River Seine and the general patter of the language of love makes Paris the perfect place to pop the question at.
3/10
London, England
For a marriage proposal full of pomp and circumstance, the British capital is sure to be your best bet. With many stellar options to choose from, it all depends on what you’ve got in mind. For 360 degree views of the city, a stop at the Shard or the London Eye will have you covered, while those wanting to propose amidst nature will be spoilt for choice with Hyde Park, Regents Park and St James Park.
4/10
Vienna, Austria
Let the classical sounds of Mozart set the mood of the evening as you and your future fiancé tour the beautiful palaces and winding streets of the Imperial City in a horse drawn carriage. Proposing in front of Klimt’s ‘The Kiss’, at the Osterreichische Galerie Belvedere museum will certainly make it a memorable one.
5/10
Quebec City, Canada
For Parisian charm outside of Europe, look no further than Quebec City. One of the oldest European settlements in North America has maintained its old-world charm with cobblestoned streets, 17^th century architecture and walled fortress surrounding the city. Quebec is charming all year round but the romantic ambience certainly heightens in the winter with the falling snow and picturesque winter villages.
6/10
Rome, Italy
All roads lead to Rome and one certainly can’t go wrong proposing in the Eternal City. Create your own history with your better half in any of the historic landmarks in the area. The Trevi Fountain, the Colosseum, the Pantheon and the Villa Borghese provide cinematic backdrops that are sure to elicit an enthusiastic yes from your other half.
7/10
Sydney, Australia
With equal parts skyscrapers and beaches, Sydney is a city that has its appeal for both nature lovers and urban dwellers alike. Known for its beautiful harbour and world famous iconic Opera House, the capital of New South Wales is not short of panoramic locations to do the knee drop. If you want to go far from the madding crowd of the city centre and the tried and tested Sydney Harbour Bridge, a short drive to the stunning Blue Mountains will certainly set the mood for the event. Watson’s Bay, overlooking both Sydney Harbour and the Tasman Sea is another fullproof option or if you’re the romantic type, a champagne picnic at Milk Beach or Balmoral Beach is sure to get you a wholehearted yes!
8/10
Disneyland, Hong Kong
Almost every girl has at some point dreamt of being a princess and harboured notions of fairytale weddings, so what better place to propose marriage and relive those childhood fantasies than the Happiest Place on Earth. We can’t think of a more magical place to get down on one knee than the Magical Kingdom itself.
9/10
Venice, Italy
It’s impossible not to feel lovey dovey and romantic in the city of Venice. The narrow waterways, leisurely gondola rides, street musicians, historical bridges and beautiful architecture certainly acts as the perfect backdrop for that all important question.
10/10
Shanghai, China
Shanghai may not be the first city that comes to mind when it comes to marriage proposals but the leafy streets and wide boulevards of the charming French concession on the West Bank makes for a delight to stroll in while you work up the nerve to pop the big question. If you’re looking to make a grand gesture of love, nothing can top the highest floor of the Shanghai Tower with its panoramic views of the city’s skyline. If you plan to go down the ring-in-the-champagne route, any of the high-end and romantic restaurants on Hengshan Road, will prove worthy of a romantic evening.

The story of getting proposed to will be told several times over to friends and family so be sure it's done in one of these stunning places around the world.
