Cheapflights.co.uk Proposes Unusual Places To Propose
February 4, 2012If you want to propose on Valentine’s Day this year and you want to make it as memorable as possible, visit Cheapflights.co.uk, the UK’s leading online travel deals publisher, whose in-house romance experts searched and selected the world’s best places to propose in honour of the occasion.
“A wedding proposal is the height of romance, making Valentine’s Day a natural time to pop the question. Our advice is to skip the flowers and chocolates and take romance on the road for the moment that neither of you will ever forget,” says Nadine Hallak, Travel Expert for Cheapflights.co.uk.
Cheapflights’ list goes for unusual locations in the usual places, with the top five below:
London – but not the London Eye
A private capsule on the London Eye with truffles and champagne is one way to do it, but our alternative suggestion is Monument, the 17th-century flame-topped tower that stands in the heart of the City of London. Climb the 311 stone-cut steps to the top, as generations of Londoners have done before, and see London laid out in all its glory. The candle-like construction with its fiery orb suggests love’s eternal flame and a new beginning.
Paris – but not the Eiffel Tower
No, not the Eiffel Tower or Arc de Triomphe, glorious and memorable as they are. Jardin du Luxembourg was much loved by writers such as Baudelaire, Victor Hugo, Balzac, Hemingway and Sartre and our favourite spot for a proposal is a shady one by the Medici Fountain. Commissioned by a king’s widow in the 17th century, the focal point is the statue of Acis and Galatea, young lovers embracing, watched over by the powerful Polyphemus. Flights to Paris from £102 return.
