The Eiffel Tower, France It’s hard to imagine a time when the Eiffel Tower wasn’t a part of the Parisian identity.

It wasn’t supposed to last more than 20 years after construction, but the Eiffel Tower endured. All you need is a flights to France to profess your undying love in front of Paris’s most iconic and arguably romantic symbol. Measuring 320 meters tall, those looking for a spot to propose with the Eiffel Tower in view won’t be hard pressed to find several corners around Paris. One of the best shots comes from the wide esplanade at the Palais de Chaillot across the Seine.

However, Norway claims one of the best spots for hunting the Northern Lights. Formed by particles emitted by the sun, the phenomenon produces a luminous sky of greens, pinks and purples when those particles interact with the atmosphere. Usually occurring from September through April, you can plot to propose under the Northern Lights in Norway mostly in the northern parts of the country. Some of the best spots include Hammerfest, the Lofoten islands, Lyngenfjord, Narvik and Tromsø.

The Taj Mahal, India While your profession of love might pale in comparison to Emperor Shah Jahan’s ultimate testament to the love of this third wife Mumtaz Mahal, there is perhaps no more romantic a setting to pop the question than the Taj Mahal. Built by the emperor for his late wife after she died giving birth to their 14th child, the building is often toted as the most beautiful edifice in the world. With its center onion dome and serene reflecting pool, the Taj Mahal took 20,000 laborers to build and over 20 years to complete. You might not be able to give your loved one a 17th century landmark visited by millions, but you can give them an engagement with the Taj Mahal looking on in the distance. Sunrise proves especially romantic or on one of the full moon viewing dates every month.
