For many people it’s the most important question they’ll ask, so where you choose to say 'will you marry me?' requires a bit of thought. After all, you’ll be telling your engagement story for many years to come, so why not make sure it’s a good one?

Let's take a closer look at a few of the best places to propose from around Europe!

Paris

Arguably the most romantic city in the world, Paris is full of perfect spots to pop the question. Go traditional and get down on one knee at the top of the Eiffel Tower or do it during a candlelit dinner cruise along the River Seine.

For something more private, find a quiet corner of the stunning Jardin du Luxembourg. If you’d like a more unusual engagement story – why not ask the question on the bustling Rue du Trésor before ducking into one of the cosy eateries which line this pretty tree-lined street?

In the City of Love, the opportunities are endless.

Rome

You don’t have to choose just one iconic landmark to propose near in Rome. Take a stroll up Gianicolo Hill and you’ll be able to pop the question against a breathtaking panorama of Rome’s ancient ruins and impressive domes. Just make sure to time your trip for sunset to get the most out of the view!

Not shy about a public proposal? The crowds at the beautiful Trevi Fountain will applaud anyone brave enough to get down on one knee. Don’t forget to throw three coins in first as apparently, this means marriage will be on the cards.

Cyprus

Sun-kissed Cyprus is a hugely popular destination for weddings, so why not get a glimpse of how romantic it can be by proposing there?

One of the stunning white-sand beaches is the obvious choice – especially if you can find a secluded spot. Petra tou Romiou Beach close to Paphos is particularly popular with couples thanks to Aphrodite’s Rock, which legend has it is the birthplace of the goddess of love. Swimming around the rock is said to bring true love...

Venice

Piazza San Marco is one of the most beautiful spots in Venice and your partner will never forget it if you propose overlooking the busy square and the awe-inspiring basilica. You could just get down on one knee in the middle of the hustle and bustle, but several cafés and bars fringing the square are happy to help you plan an extra special proposal. The famous Caffè Florian will have the orchestra play your special song, bake a cake with ‘will you marry me?’ on top or pop the ring into a glass of prosecco. How could anyone say no?

Sorrento Area

The Sorrento Area boasts some of the most sought-after destinations. From the postcard-perfect Amalfi towns to the historical hotspots of Naples, Sorrento is full of striking spots to pop the question. Pretty Positano is a popular choice, and if you want to avoid the crowds, opt for an early morning stroll on Spaggia Grande. With the shingle sand beneath your toes and the colourful, cliff-tumbling town as your backdrop, it’s an ideal place to get down on one knee.
