2. Niagara Falls Ultimate Getaway
There’s a good reason why the city of Niagara Falls plays hosts over 50,000 couples celebrating honeymoons and anniversaries a year. Everything about the iconic location - from the winding walkways and observation points to the constant spray of mist rising off the epic falls themselves - is conducive to romance. Take a boat cruise to the center of horseshoe falls in Ontario, Canada and see (and feel!) the majesty of the falls close up. As the sun sets, journey to the top of the Skylon Tower, and enjoy a romantic dinner at the world-famous Revolving Dining Room Restaurant while admiring the spectacular falls views below. Experience first-hand why Niagara Falls is considered one of the most romantic destinations in the US. For more information on this getaway, click here.

Take pictures together at Golden Gate Bridge or enjoy the breathtaking scenery at the Japanese Tea Garden.
