Top 10 Places To Pop The Question

1. The Pont Neuf, Paris

Paris is one of the most cliché places to propose, but it’s cliché for a reason – it works. The beauty of this city never seizes to amaze, and it’s possibly more famous for proposals than any other place. But, just because you’re doing it in Paris doesn’t mean it HAS to be at the Eiffel Tower. The Pont Neuf (the “New Bridge”) is the oldest standing bridge on the Seine, and we couldn’t think of a better symbol for the union of two loved ones. Want to increase your chances? Visit at sunset when the buildings by the river are bathed in the setting sun’s golden rays.

 

Everyone is looking for the perfect place and time to pop the question. Clichés are fine, yet everyone wants their moment of proposal to be special, unique and most of all - romantic.
