The Pont Neuf, Paris
Move over the clichéd Eiffel tower and walk down to the historic Pont Neuf Bridge. Don’t go by the name which means the new bridge, it was built way back in the 16th century. It’s the oldest bridge that stands on Seine and has been a meeting point for lovers for over five centuries. What more would you need than a beautifully lit evening which overlooks a shade of gold created by the setting sun, and a spot which has witnessed thousands of lovers fulfil their romantic dreams!
Hot-Air Balloon ride over the Masai Mara, Kenya

Especially if the love of your life loves nature! With wildlife filled landscapes and greenery all around, a balloon ride over this gorgeous reserve will make for a beautiful picture lasting a lifetime!

Puerto Mosquito, Puerto Rico
Located on the southern shore of the Vieques island, Puerto Mosquito, The Mosquito Bay is by far one of the most beautiful places post sunset. The magical bioluminescent bay has now been declared as the brightest place on earth. Just look at this picture and we don’t need to say more!
Azure Window, Malta
It’s a bonus if your partner is a Game Of Thrones fan! The series was shot here at Azure Window. It’s a limestone formation which looks like an arch and was formed when two sea caves collided. The collision has resulted in one of the most unique locations in the world. Proposing with Azure in the backdrop will make sure the answer is a YES! Try avoiding going on your knees please! It’s quite rocky.
