Top Ten Romantic US Cities

Many things change without us realizing! Days become shorter and months pass quickly. We must remember and cherish the one person who always spends the night sleeping at our side. So planning a romantic vacation will not only help you de-stress, but will also give you the chance to re-light the spark you may not have had time for lately!

I spent quite a lot of time reviewing different authors information and opinions on romantic destinations and found a lot of variety with some constants. I compiled my own list, assuring that the "proven" most romantic cities were in the number one spots! Hopefully you will find somewhere for you and your honey. Plan some events during your stay. A night in, a romantic picnic in the park, or a trip to the theater. Every city is unique in what it has to offer and the feeling that comes along with it. Enjoy reading, and enjoy your travels!

Along with that comes Italian Cafes, Golden Gate Park for a romantic picnic, Chinatown, and so much more to experience and explore! Fleur de Lys was found to be one of the most romantic restaurants in America as well.

#3. HAWAII - Yes, I know. I didn't include a specific city. That's because all of Hawaii is beautiful. It is impossible to be stressed in Hawaii. All you have to do is lay on the beach drinking a Mai Tai with fixings for a romantic picnic, and you and your lover are lost on Love's memory lane...

#4. NEW YORK - The hustle and bustle of this huge city may turn you off at your first thought of visiting. But the bigger the city, the more it has to offer!

I know all these cities seem like the obvious, but it is truly because they deserve it. All who travel here are not disappointed with what they find and often want to return. But in case you were looking for something a little smaller and quaint. I've added a bonus city for your consideration.

Bonus - CUMBERLAND ISLAND, GEORGIA - Cumberland Island is a sure retreat for you and your love. You can walk the beach without seeing a soul, or catch wild horses running at sunset. Fall is a perfect time here, to be truly alone. Plenty or nature surrounds you providing gorgeous scenery for the romantic picnic you have planned. Be sure to bring a bottle of your most treasured wine. The Grey field Inn has been proclaimed one of America's most romantic hotels as well.
