Best European city for marriage proposal?

[Anonymous]

If you travel to EU often, which city would you recommend for a trip to propose your GF or BF? London, Paris, Rome, Barcelona, Venice or somewhere else?

It would depend on the person I was proposing to. What they like best. And where I planned to do the proposing.

I think Paris and Venice are very picturesque. But I wouldn't like a gondola proposal.

Depends what kind of setting they would like. City vs mature? Landscape?

If you don't know what kind of city she'd like, probably shouldn't be proposing.

What does she like?

If she loves to read, research gorgeous libraries in Europe. If she loves wine, a vineyard proposal might be nice. If she loves art, choose a specific museum.

Natural scenery.

A friend's BF recently did an spontaneous unplanned proposal while they were on a trip to Hallstatt in Austria. He said it just felt right. He picked a random inexpensive ring from a tourist shop. She loved the surprise. They'll buy the real ring together once they are back home.

My boyfriend proposed in Paris, at the zoo. It was nice because we're both in biology and I love animals. We're also French and were living in Paris at the time, so it made sense - there was an actual residential connection. Unless you can find a specific place that's meaningful for her, I'm not sure that tourist proposals are the best idea.

I would love an impromptu proposal on a scenic trip, feels more authentic.

I think as a test of whether the marriage will last you need to pick some depressing, Eastern European town. Go in winter when it's gray and most depressing.

I mean...who says No in Paris (in nice weather)?

If you are there anyways and committed with plans to marry in near future, ambiance just adds to the excitement.

This was my thought exactly.

Florence is beautiful, too.
