Feeling the lovey dovey vibes after catching My Love Sinema and looking for your own love story? Congrats, with the holiday season being just a few months away, it’s the best time to plan a vacation with your significant other. If you’re struggling to come up with the perfect romantic getaway, these are the 5 most romantic places on Earth.

1. Venice, Italy

Venice (Get Your Guide)

Venice, one of the most beautiful cities on this planet, is renowned for its bustling canals, gondolas and marble palaces but here’s what you don’t know about the city — it’s gradually sinking! Live out your Titanic moment in this floating city, where you can spot beautiful canals littered with gondolas every turn you make and dominated by soaring and majestic Venetian Palaces.

Venice (Untours)

Discover every corner of the City of Bridges on Venice’s classic gondola ride — a must for everybody who wishes to explore Venice by water. Visit parts of the city accessible only via gondolas as you glide silently along the the narrow and intricate waterways in the arms of the person you love.

2. Jeju Island, Korea

Known as the Hawaii of Korea, Jeju Island is a popular vacation destination for many newlyweds — a great alternative if Hawaii is too expensive and Bali is too mainstream.

Jeju Island Beauty Scenery

Well known for its natural wonders and home to natural waterfalls, white beaches and a dormant volcano, Jeju Island was named one of the New7Wonders of Nature. Spring and autumn are the best times to visit Jeju Island; spring is when trees start to blossom after a long winter hibernation, and the scene is splashed with trees skirted by pools of gold and rust-coloured leaves during autumn.

Sunrise Peak (Jeju Weekly)

Don’t worry if you aren’t familar with Korea! Go on a one day Jeju Island tour with a guide that introduces you to some of Jeju Island’s biggest attractions such as Sunrise Peak, an archetypal tuff cone formed by hydrovolcanic eruptions upon a shallow seabed 5000 years ago. The area is surrounded by bright yellow rapeseed flowers during spring, truly a sight to behold.

3. Warsaw, Poland

Lazienki Park

Picture yourself strolling lazily down the pathway of Lazienki Park with your loved one on a cooling night, under the dim light of the kerosene lamp, my my… Looking up along your evening stroll, you’ll realise its street lights are still burning on kerosene oil, giving off a dim and romantic vibe. Legend has it that every evening in Lazienki Park, a mysterious old man would be seen lighting the kerosene street lamps for couples.

Warsaw town square

Take a day tour around Warsaw, exploring Poland‘s beautiful and noteworthy monuments as you stroll through the medieval streets with a strikingly beautiful Baroque architecture from the Hapsburg times. Satiate the nerd in you as you learn interesting anecdotes and discover lesser known facts of Warsaw.

Bali private beach

How does treating your partner to a romantic evening stroll along your own private beach in Bali sound?

5. Paris, France

Eiffel Tower Room Suggestions

Of course, how can we miss out the City of Love in our list of romantic places? Topping our list for the most romantic place to visit on the planet would be none other than Paris, famed for being the City of Love. Parisians have a soft spot for romance and are not ashamed to show affection towards their partners in public. Instead, it is openly admired and you’ll never hear any locals shouting, “Get a room!”

River Seine (Traveldigg)

Indulge in a romantic dinner as you cruise down River Seine and the magic of Paris at night as you take a bus tour of Paris. Revel in the beauty of Paris at night when each street and monument is lit with an orange glow, giving the city an essence of fairytale.

With so many romantic places on this planet, there’s no reason for low birthrates in Singapore. *smirks* Time to pack up and go enjoy with your loved ones!
