Best places to propose

Verona, Italy

Sure, there's plenty of appeal in taking your amore on an enchanting gondola ride in Venice, but if you really want to prove your love is enduring, don't share a tender moment (or a ring) underneath the iconic 17th-century Bridge of Sighs. Instead, venture to fair Verona to lay your scene underneath Juliet's Balcony and propose where Shakespeare's star-crossed lovers first professed their love for one another. After you've made your intentions known, celebrate your impending "I Dos" with a sumptuous bottle of wine at Atelier Restaurant at the much-lauded Byblos Art Hotel Villa Amistà, a picturesque hotel nestled in the Valpolicella Vineyards that boasts a Roman-style pool and breathtaking scenery.
