1000 most romantic places in the world

241. Neuschwanstein Castle, Germany

They say this castle was the inspiration for the castle in Disney’s, “Sleeping Beauty”, a modern day benchmark for romance. Nestled in a picturesque setting amongst rolling hills and the alps this castle is out of a fairy tale. It starts with a beautiful, somewhat strenuous hike up to the castle (you can also take a bus or horse buggy for the real romantics out there). Unfortunately you can only see it by guided tour but it’s still a sight to see - The castle is ornate but the best part about it is the views, they are breath taking. This is undoubtedly a romantic little trip.

240. Denali National Park, Alaska

There’s just something magical and romantic about being surrounded by the beauty of the natural world. Whether you’re an experienced hiker/camper or a novice this is a special place to visit. Filled with wildlife and fantastic mountain views one can’t help but be swept away here. You can camp on your own or rent cabins (with great views of the park) or even do day trips, ‘Camp Denali’ was where we rented cabins from. Wander this majestic land, cycle, make camp-fires, star gaze, take pictures… this is just a great place to be.

SUBMITTED BY: http://santorini-luxury.tumblr.com/

Astarte Suites is a spectacular 9-suite complex designed by Aygoustis Krousis and located on a cliff on the beautiful Santorini Island in Greece. Small, but with impeccable services, infinity pool, and unforgettable views, the hotel is perfect for a romantic getaway. Here is an excerpt from the official description from the architects:
“Magic is in the details at Astarte Suites, beginning with the twinkling Swarovski stones that adorn the ceiling above each suite’s Jacuzzi pool, ending with the personalized service each guest enjoys. Surrounded by soothing shades of white and stone, guests are sure to find bliss here. During their precious down time, guests can relax and unwind next to Astarte’s stunning turquoise infinity swimming pool, which overlooks the Aegean Sea’s tranquil blue waters and nearby rocky cliffs. Leisure and cultural options abound nearby, such as in Akrotiri, an ancient city buried and preserved by volcanic ash-known as the Pompeii of the Greek islands-and at Red Beach and White Beach, the ultimate locales for a spectacular day of fun in the sun”.

How is the view from your standing point?

237. Kihei on Maui, Hawaii

SUBMITTED BY: http://fictitious-tales.tumblr.com/

The strip of beach has an incredible view of the sunsets, each night just as beautiful as the one before. People surf and paddle board until the sun dips below the horizon as tourists gather along the surf to watch. All I really remember is the silence that was interrupted the odd time by the crashing waves. If you’re lucky, it’s also a great place to catch a glimpse of whales silhouetted against the orange sky.

236. Victoria Falls, Zambia/Zimbabwe

What is more romantic then witnessing one of the natural wonders of the world with your loved one? The falls are stunning… the force of the water, the spray, the thunderous sound, the rainbows… Apparently they are more beautiful from the Zimbabwe side but you really should check the political situation we went from the Zambia side. You will find guides offering to take you to the Devil’s Pool, take them up on this! It is a pool at the top of the falls where you can practically swim to the edge protected by a natural stone wall. It’s exciting and worth it. The hike to the pool itself has plenty of beautiful vistas it’s a trip that is really special to share with a loved one.

235. San Antonio, Texas Riverwalk

SUBMITTED BY: http://julianplowden.tumblr.com/

I went there about 3 years ago and it will alway be ingrained in my memory. They have a very historic riverwalk that’s so beautiful pictures don’t do it justice. I went there during the week of Halloween and got to experience the rich Spanish culture there because people celebrate the day of the dead there as well. You should look up their official tourist site. I can only compare it to a Spanish version of Venice, Italy in AMERICA!! They even have a famous spot along the riverwalk called “Marriage Island” where men often choose to “pop the question”

234. Providencia Island, Colombia

(submission)

This is about as classic island as it comes. Tucked away in the Caribbean this island has a history of pirates and buried treasure. Romance comes easy here amongst the white sandy beaches and clear turquoise water. There are horse to ride and a fantastic underwater world to explore (there are reefs and diving here), scuba, snorkeling or kayaking are made for this place.. Or you can choose to laze around with your loved one and do nothing. Avoid all inclusive packages where your meals are included - the best food we found was from independent businesses, not our hotel.

228. Seychelles

This place is more beautiful than even these pictures begin to show. What a fascinating place of island hopping, jungle hiking and bird watching. You will find world-class diving here, fabulous food and the perfect romantic setting for lazing on the beach, playing in the water and watching the sun rise and set. Seriously, does it get any more perfect than this. The beaches here are more beautiful than I’ve seen before - they also have these unusual beautiful smooth rocks making for almost an alien atmosphere. wow, just wow.

227. The Sweet Escape In Karimunjawa Islands, Indonesia

SUBMITTED BY: http://chimchimera.tumblr.com/

Karimunjawa is an archipelago of 27 islands in the Java Sea, Indonesia, approximately 80 kilometres northwest of Jepara. The islands name means “a stone’s throw from Java” in Javanese.

Karimunjawa is well known for their white sandy beaches, magnificent coral reefs, the pilgrimage to Sunan Nyamplungan Cemetery, the customs and traditions of the Karimunjawa community, and if you want something challenging, you can swim in the shark’s captivity.

You can also dive, sail, water ski, swim, etc. If you’re get lucky, you can see dolphins swimming in the ocean and release baby sea turtles (we called it Tukik) into the ocean. When you are here, you’ll feel like you’re on vacation in you’re own private islands. It’s a perfect getaway that you won’t regret. Take a look at the sky up above or looking down the sea, it’s just the same: breath taking and you won’t believe your eyes.

224. Lake Bled, Slovenia

Wow, this place is just breath-taking. A picturesque lake nestled within the snow-capped mountains. In the middle of this lake is an island on the island is a castle - exploring this place can make for a totally romantic day. You can hike around the lake and take a traditional wooden boat (called a Pletna) out to the island where you can explore the castle area, see lots of great views and even visit a winery - does it get any more romantic than that? Not for me it doesn’t. There is also great hiking and rafting in the area.
