What is the most romantic city in North America? (better, Los Angeles, Boston)

[Champ le monstre du lac]

I always thought old historic cities with cobblestoned streets and old world ambiance are the most romantic, thus Quebec City tops my list. Of course the French character and atmosphere certainly give it an extra boost.

For # 1, Quebec City...

Quebec City is a magical place. It has a European atmosphere that is incomparable anywhere else in North America. The French ambiance is truely authentic here and it feels very festive. I love the quaint old cobblestone alleyways, galleries and boutiques. Old Quebec feels like a village from another place in time like a storybook. Also worth noting is its acess to Montmorency Falls and skiing at Mont Ste Anne. This place is as enchanting to visit in winter as it is in summer. If your an impatient and hurried person you will probably feel there is only enough to do here for 24 hours. If you have an open mind and embrace the joie de vivre that exists here you could spend several days here and go home with wonderful memories.



My top 10 (I'm an unapologetic romantic and a leo, so these cities tug at my heart strings)

1-Quebec City



2-San Francisco



3-Montreal



4-New York (specificly Central Park)




5-Charleston, SC



6-Savannah, GA



7-Seattle



8-Hawaii (Maui)



9-Sedona, AZ



10-Marthas Vineyard

Out of the places I have been I would say Savannah, Ga.

[DANNYY]

San Diego, California. Tucson, Arizona. Seattle, Washington. For in the US.

Internationally: Frankfurt, Germany. Toronto, Canada. Vancouver, Canada. That's pretty much it.

There is a reason why so many romance movies take place in NYC. You don't see them filming romantic scenes in Savannah or Charleston, rofl.

Even Sleepless in Seattle's final scene is on top of the ESB:

ROFL? Everyone knows NYC is romantic. I don't think you know much about Charleston/Savannah and probably haven't been. If you have, then you certainly missed something. Savannah's fountains, squares, old world historic and coloroful neighborhoods, and laid back southern hospitality screams romantic! Try using your judgement based on experience instead of cliche'd movies.

I've never been but EUREKA SPRINGS, ARKANSAS seems like such a truly unique and charming town. Very different for an American town. Go check it out on Google Maps (particularly Spring Street).
