The top 10 proposal spots in the world
February 6, 2008
TripAdvisor has released a list of the best places in the world to propose, based on the mention of proposals in reviews and forum posts - and with a smidge of input from the TripAdvisor editors.
If you can get past the entirely predictable winners (Eiffel Tower? Zzzzz) there are some undeniably nice spots here. I think my favourite is Neuschwanstein, because the 'fairytale castle', though breathtaking, is actually a monument to madness, questionable taste and utter profligacy.
You could probably have some fun with the true connotations of many of these beauty spots, but that's enough cynicism for now. Here's the list in full.
- Eiffel Tower, Paris, France
- London Eye, London, England
- Oia, Santorini, Greece
- Alhambra, Granada, Spain
- Canals of Venice, Venice, Italy
- Neuschwanstein Castle, Bavaria, Germany
- Mount Pilatus, Lucerne, Switzerland
- Trevi Fountain, Rome, Italy
- Charles Bridge, Prague, Czech Republic
- Piazzale Michelangelo, Florence, Italy
More romance on the site tomorrow when we publish the second part of our guide to wedding anniversary holidays - with ideas for every landmark year from the 11th (steel) through to the 40th (ruby).
Meanwhile, have a read of the first part, covering the first anniversary to the 10th.

The best thing about Neuschwanstein is it was built for man whose official historical appelation is 'Mad' King Ludwig. Entirely appropriate for a man whose house became the inspiration for the Disney castle.

I can confirm that we have similar results from the US market enquiries for the last 12 years for outbound travel, 'escorted touring'. The sector 'independent touring' shows totally different results.
