But choose wisely and chances are you\u2019ll fall in love all over again, while finding a place in your heart for a certain city.<\/p>\n<h3>Explore Washington, DC, the capital city of romance<\/h3>\n<div>\n<p>With all the soapboxing going on in the USA\u2019s capital, you might assume there\u2019s not much time for romance. But\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/taylorgourmet.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Washington, DC<\/a>\u00a0is a genteel city of flowery parks, arched bridges, waterfront walks and cosy restaurants, offering lovebirds plenty of options.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>On sunny days, purchase supplies at the Wharf\u2019s\u00a0Taylor Gourmet, then hop the dinghy to\u00a0Hains Point\u00a0for a waterside picnic. Watch the sunset from Arlington\u2019s sky-high\u00a0Observation Deck, then sip wine at\u00a0Artechouse\u00a0and play with digital forms and colour in a super-cool interactive room.<\/p>\n<h3>Stroll around Seville with your other half<\/h3>\n<div>\n<p>Renowned as Spain\u2019s most romantic city,\u00a0Seville\u2019s year-round sunshine means you can always be outside \u2013 it\u2019s dripping with pretty plazas, jasmine-scented patios and rooftop bars with killer views to kiss to. Try the\u00a0Hotel Do\u00f1a Maria\u00a0terrace bar at sunset, looking onto the Giralda tower.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>In summer, nothing can beat a moonlit outdoor concert in the\u00a0Alcazar palace\u00a0gardens for romance, while a fun daytime option is to hire a rowing boat on the canal at stunning\u00a0Plaza de Espa\u00f1a\u00a0with its tiled bridges. And who can resist the flaming passion of a live flamenco show?<\/p>\n<h3>Make hearts race in the red city of Marrakesh<\/h3>\n<div>\n<p>Magical light, hundreds of romantic riads and an\u00a0<i>Arabian Nights<\/i>\u00a0ambiance make\u00a0Marrakesh\u00a0a perfect spot for amorous adventure. Snag a table for two in the nearby\u00a0Agafay Desert\u00a0and watch the sun set before tucking in to a candlelit dinner. Wish upon a star before retreating to your tent for the night, waking up for the sunrise.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Glamping not your style? Choose a luxury riad and plan an early-morning wake up call to watch the first rays illuminate the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/instagram.com\/mandyinmorocco\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Atlas Mountains<\/a>\u00a0during a hot-air balloon ride organised by\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.cieldafrique.info\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Ciel d\u2019Afrique<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>Enjoy cocktails and castles in Edinburgh<\/h3>\n<div>\n<p>Edinburgh\u00a0has great restaurants, peaceful gardens and snug pubs. Views stretch out to the Firth of Forth, across to\u00a0Fife\u00a0and down through atmospheric alleyways. Above it all, bang in the centre of the city, looms a castle on a crag. Scotland\u2019s strollable capital could hardly fail to set hearts fluttering.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Visitors can admire the views from windswept\u00a0Arthur\u2019s Seat\u00a0or the Gothic\u00a0Scott Monument, or promenade in\u00a0Princes Street Gardens.\u00a0Bramble\u00a0hides beneath a dry cleaners and offers some of the city\u2019s best cocktails and the Old Town is great for atmospheric pubs.<\/p>\n<h3>Find love in the air in Vancouver<\/h3>\n<div>\n<p>Vancouverites are at least as in love with the great outdoors as they are with each other. But gooey-eyed locals know exactly how to combine their passions. Hire a tandem from\u00a0Spokes Bicycle Rentals\u00a0to scope out picnic spots along the seawall or gaze lovingly at the sunset \u2013 and each other\u00ad\u00ad \u2013 from\u00a0Stanley Park\u2019s Third Beach.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Rainy day? Commune with the resident lovebirds inside\u00a0Bloedel Conservatory\u2019s tropical dome or take a couples\u2019 culinary class at\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dirtyapron.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Dirty Apron Cooking School<\/a>. For a grand finale, hop a ferry to\u00a0Bowen Island, hike up Mount Gardner and pop the question overlooking a heart-stopping ocean panorama.<\/p>\n<h3>Take to the water in Paris<\/h3>\n<div>\n<p>A classic city break destination for couples, the romanticised\u00a0French capital\u00a0is even more captivating when viewed from the water. From its dock near the Eiffel Tower, celebrated chef Alain Ducasse&#8217;s new &#8216;floating restaurant&#8217;\u00a0Ducasse sur Seine\u00a0serves gourmet lunch and dinner menus at white-clothed tables while you glide through Paris&#8217; heart.\u00a0Canauxrama\u00a0cruises along charming\u00a0Canal St-Martin\u00a0pass through double locks, swing bridges and an underground section.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>In the city&#8217;s two sprawling forests, recreate a scene from an impressionist painting by hiring a rowboat on\u00a0Lac Daumesnil\u00a0in the eastern\u00a0Bois de Vincennes, or\u00a0Lac Inf\u00e9rieur\u00a0in the western\u00a0Bois de Boulogne.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cities aren\u2019t always the most romantic places \u2013 tropical islands tend to trump traffic jams and sunshine always beats smog.
